Liverpool Art Center's encouraging instructors teach budding Van Goghs how to captivate imaginations with paintbrushes and easels through a diverse schedule of art classes. During teen art classes, pupils learn basic drawing and painting skills so that they can create their own take-home masterpieces using their choice of pastel, prisma color, or watercolor techniques.

Through hands-on guidance, students of the beginner oil-painting class learn how to map out and paint a landscape portrait, which may include scenes such as a verdant prairie or a Tuscan vineyard. Oil-painting classes require no experience and employ odorless studio supplies that are easy to clean up. Soothing music and sweet aromatherapy scents guide students' therapeutic brush strokes during the meditative painting class, in which they take in pointers on simple acrylic painting techniques as they achieve a newfound level of relaxation.
