Painting for beginners

One of the best things about art? There’s no right or wrong! No matter how you paint, it’s all about self-discovery, freedom of expression and having fun. No need to let a lack of experience hold you back - a San Jose painting class is the perfect way to stop worrying and start painting for beginners!

Run by a warm, enthusiastic local artist, each class is designed to be an open, welcoming space for artists of all skill levels to come along and have some fun with paint. You’ll be provided with all the professional quality equipment and materials you’ll need to create a serene watercolor landscape, a vivid self portrait or a stunning still life to decorate your wall with pride.

Whether you and your besties want to learn a new craft together, you’re planning a birthday event for the creative soul in your life or you just want to switch up your weekend routine with exciting things to do in San Jose, we’re passionate about making art more accessible than ever.

What to expect at San Jose painting classes

From oil on canvas to watercolor washes, acrylic pouring to stress-busting finger painting, your first step toward learning how to paint is deciding which artistic technique suits your style. Whichever you opt for, you’ll be in safe hands - our San Jose painting classes are run by local art aces, who’ll welcome you into their studio sanctuary to give you the help you need to get started with painting.

Want to help your team decompress after a busy quarter? Team building painting classes are a fantastic way to let your hard working crew unwind in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

Whether you’re bringing the whole gang or coming along yourself, all the equipment and materials you’ll need will be ready and waiting for you. Your friendly painting pro will be on hand to show you the ropes with some quick demonstrations, along with some illuminating insight into the creative process. Then it’ll be time for you to pick up your brush, put on your smock (if that’s your thing!) and start painting for yourself. Your artist in residence will be on hand to guide you through each step, answer any questions you may have and give you some handy hints to really make your inner muse shine through.

By the end of your painting workshop, you’ll leave with a handmade piece of art to decorate your home or give as a one-of-a-kind gift for someone special. But that’s not all; you’ll also take away the skills, know-how and confidence you need to continue to pursue your passion - and that’s priceless!

Painting is great for your wellbeing

It’s true! Whether you’re doing a traditional oil painting, a dreamy watercolor or a mesmerizing acrylic pour, creating art has a hugely positive effect on your mental health. By taking time out from the grind to focus on creating something beautiful, you’re stimulating the creative side of your brain while relieving mental stress and strain. Reducing stress is a proven factor to help you live a happier, healthier lifestyle - a fresh perspective could be just the thing to give you a new lease on life!

It’s not just beneficial for the creatively inclined, either - structuring and planning a painting helps develop problem solving skills, while the concentration needed to finish your masterpiece also gives your memory functions a boost. No matter what your day job is, you’ll feel mentally and creatively rejuvenated by one of our San Jose art workshops!
