Have you ever felt like your daily routine needs a little spark? That’s exactly how I felt until I decided to try art classes. Art has this magical way of calming your mind while letting you explore new skills. The best part is, you don’t need to be a professional artist to enjoy it. At Art Made Simple, I discovered that art isn’t about perfection. It’s about expression, growth, and fun.

In this blog, I’ll share the top 6 online art classes for adults who want to learn something new. Whether you’re into watercolors, acrylics, or just curious about sketching, these classes will guide you step by step. And if you’d like to meet people face-to-face, there are also in-person art classes available.

Why Online Art Classes Matter 

Online art classes are perfect if you want to learn at your own pace. I found that they fit easily into my busy schedule. You don’t need to commute, and you can join right from home. Plus, you can connect with other students who share the same passion for creativity. At the same time, in-person art classes give you that face-to-face energy and personal guidance. Both options are available at Art Made Simple, so you can choose what feels right for you. 

Discovering Rhonda’s Unique Teaching Approach

Rhonda, our instructor, has this incredible way of making art simple. Her motto is “learning by doing.” She always reminds us that there are no rights or wrongs in art. Beginners who think they can’t even draw a stick figure find themselves creating beautiful pieces with her patient guidance. From watercolors and pastels to acrylic painting, Rhonda’s classes cover a wide range of mediums. She even says, “In art, you’re baking your own artistic cake, no recipe required.” I love that mindset because it keeps me relaxed and open to experimenting. 

Top 6 Online Art Classes for Adults 

Here are the six classes I recommend if you’re ready to start your journey:

  1. Sunday Morning Watercolour: A relaxing way to kick off your week with gentle watercolor techniques.
  2. Monday Afternoon Watercolour: Great for practicing brush control and learning how to blend soft colors.
  3. Sketching Basics: Perfect for anyone new to drawing. You’ll learn shapes, shading, and simple techniques.
  4. Exploring Acrylic Painting: Dive into the bold world of acrylics. Great for beginners who want strong colors and textures.
  5. Paint Your Way to Light (Oct 18): A special session that focuses on light, shadow, and creating glowing effects.
  6. One-Time Mixed Media Session: If you’re curious about experimenting, this is for you. It mixes different materials like pastels, paint, and more.
Workshops That Go Beyond Painting 

At Art Made Simple, we also offer workshops for both painters and potters. One of my favorites included tai chi, traditional Chinese brush painting, and even reading your Chinese horoscope. These workshops are about more than just art; they’re about relaxation, culture, and connection. 

Tips for Picking the Right Class 

  • Start with a medium that excites you (like watercolor or acrylic). 
  • Choose online art classes if you want flexibility. 
  • Try in-person art classes if you like direct feedback and connection. 
  • Don’t worry about being “bad” at art. Every class is beginner-friendly.
