class catalog

We offer a variety of high quality oil painting and drawing classes for all ages from Youth Studio through adult.

We offer an annual membership for $255, which gives you a 15% discount on all classes and workshops for 12 months from the purchase date.

We also offer a family membership for $355/year, which extends the same benefits to everyone in your immediate household.

For example, most of our classes cost $286 every four weeks. With a membership, you’d pay $247—so if you take just one class for seven months, the membership essentially pays for itself. If you take two classes, it pays off in just over 3 months.

You’re welcome to start without a membership and add it later if you’d like.

Please note: All memberships are non-refundable.

We like to keep our class sizes right around 10 students to ensure plenty of one-on-one attention, guidance and support.

You can register for a class by creating an Atelier account or by filling out our enrollment form, both of which are available on our website. Simply press the “Register for Classes” button on our homepage to get started.

New students typically begin the first week of the month, and enrolling ahead of time helps ensure you secure a spot on the roster.

Absolutely! You can review all the details in our [Makeup Policy].

You can cancel a workshop with at least 7 days’ notice for a full refund. If you cancel with less than 7 days’ notice, you’ll receive a 50% refund. No refunds will be given if you cancel less than 48 hours before the workshop.

For our Youth and Teen Studios, all materials are included in the monthly fee.

For painting classes:

You can either bring your own supplies or join our Materials Plan for $80/month—just show up and we’ll supply you with a canvas, and you can use our paint, brushes, palette, mediums, etc. Or bring your own. When you enroll, we’ll share our recommended materials list so you know exactly what you’ll need.

For drawing classes:

Drawing students will need to bring their own supplies. Upon enrollment, we’ll send you a list of recommended materials.

Typically, we follow the Royal Oak Schools cancellation policy for inclement weather. If possible, we will reschedule the class for a different day/time. If classes are canceled, you will be contacted via your email address on file. If classes cannot be rescheduled, we will issue a refund.
