"Live" Online Painting Classes


2010 Classes

There's nothing to join, just come and purchase a 'live' online class with us when you see them scheduled here.  Classes are fun, affordable and educational!  These classes are unique to Puddles of Paint and Joyful Heart Studio (or to our guest teachers) and are not offered anywhere else!  Paint with us, the original designers, in a fun, online, classroom setting.  Please note that these are tentative dates.  We reserve the right to reschedule classes if we receive less than 5 sign-ups per class.  Thanks for understanding :)  If you can't make it to class, we will be happy to email you the entire class packet right after class.

More Information

PrimPals™ is a separate online classroom all its own!  These classes are taught "live" online right here on the internet so you don't have to travel to paint with us!  Our online classes are more than just e-packets... they are taught "live" online, where we share our tips and techniques with you, as well as step by step pictures and even video clips of various techniques used for each design!

You will receive an email confirmation upon purchasing a class.  Then a couple weeks prior to class, an email will be sent that includes the supply list and prep instructions.  Please complete all basecoating and prepwork as instructed prior to class.  Email us at any time you have questions about your prepwork.

In the event that a class must be cancelled, make-up dates will be given or you may request a refund of your class payment.  If we do not receive at least 5 sign-ups, we reserve the right to cancel or postpone a class to a later date.  After purchasing a class, if you find that you cannot make it at classtime, you may request your complete packet be emailed to you.  No refund is given in this case, however, you will receive all the information that we provided during class time.

During class you will enjoy step by step photos and in most classes, video clips too!  After class, you will receive an ePacket with a full set of instructions, pattern, photos and any video clips or worksheets that were used in class (at no additional charge!).

Levels include Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced.  Most classes are taught with the assumption that you already have a basic knowledge of painting and have mastered basic skills.   Beginner projects will contain extra step by steps and more guidance so that you can complete your project.  Intermediate classes will include various painting techniques that you should already be familiar with such as floating, stippling, linework, strokework, etc.  Intermediate and Advanced classes will move at a faster pace.  Advanced classes are for those who are very comfortable with all the basics and intermediate techniques and are for those who would like to just come and paint with friends and brush up on their skill level.

Everyone is welcome to join in any class regardless of the level.  We just want you to be aware that beginner classes are more detailed and will take longer to complete, and the intermediate and advanced classes will move at a faster pace with less teacher instruction.

Most classes run about 3-1/2 hours.  You are free to come and go as you need to during class; however, please remember these are LIVE classes and you might miss some instruction if you choose to leave class for any reason. 

SURFACES  AND SUPPLIES ARE NOT PROVIDED.  YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR GATHERING UP THE SURFACE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO PAINT ON, AND GATHERING THE SUPPLIES SUGGESTED FOR CLASS.  YOU ARE FREE TO SUBSTITUTE ANY SURFACE OR SUPPLIES TO SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE ON HAND.

Puddles of Paint "CLUB" discounts may be applied to these classes.
