    Teacher is very knowledgeable. 4 weeks is too short of a class and I will definitely try and take it again when class is 6 weeks long. You can take this class over and over and still learn something new

    Not a class, more a shared workshop for experienced painter. Will not go back for the other four classes.

    Anonymous review on 2/5/2017
    Instructor doesn't really teach/instruct much so didn't really learn how to paint with techniques, but some students liked that free flowing bring your own paints and canvas, and do whatever you want. Not a very instructional class on painting at all and the instructor has an elitist, "ivory tower" type style of walking around what students are working on and commenting on it. He believes that students in the class don't take their art or painting seriously, and are all just there for leisure. You could simply purchase your own materials and watch some instructional videos online yo learn more painting techniques than this class.

Review Summary by CourseHorse

Despite having a knowledgeable teacher, students found that the 4-week classes at Paint Anything were too short and wanted a longer duration. Some students felt that the classes were not instructional enough and resembled more of a shared workshop for experienced painters. The instructor was criticized for not teaching or instructing much, resulting in a lack of learning painting techniques. However, there were some students who enjoyed the freedom to bring their own paints and canvas and do whatever they wanted. Overall, the class was not considered very instructional, and some students believed that they could learn more painting techniques by purchasing their own materials and watching online instructional videos.

Question from Kathleen M.
Based on the reviews below, it sounds like just a place to paint. Does the "instructor" offer any teaching information or skills/techniques? I was so excited, I didn't bother to check the reviews. Now I am unsure about what I just purchased.
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi Kathleen! Kindly check the description posted on this page to have an overview of what to expect. The instructor is a professional painter and instructor himself, and the class was created out of student demand and has been a popular class with a strong following. Hope this helps!
