A note for beginners- This craft is learned through making paintings. They will be “bad” for a long time, that is the same for everyone who has ever learned this craft. There are many skills to learn that must eventually be accomplished in concert to produce a technically masterful painting. Be comfortable with being uncomfortable, come with a child’s mind for learning.
How long do I take this class? To learn to paint you will need to practice regularly, for years. You should find a teacher who resonates with you and stick with them until you have learned all you can from them. You can tell when you are ready to find a new teacher by your level of excited engagement in their work and the practice.
