15 Best Painting Courses on Udemy
Choosing a painting course on Udemy can feel overwhelming with the variety of topics and price points available. This page presents fifteen Udemy courses that cover a range of skills, from basic colour theory for beginners to specialised techniques such as watercolour landscapes, digital art with Krita, and even protective coating for industrial painting. The courses are listed in the order we have ranked them based on relevance to the topic, breadth of content, and price, but the ranking reflects our editorial view rather than an absolute measure of quality.
Whether you are a complete beginner, a child looking for a creative outlet, or an experienced artist seeking to refine a particular medium, you will find options that match your needs and budget. Prices range from $19.99 to $199.99, and each course is provided directly by Udemy, so you can compare them side by side and decide which learning path suits you best.

How these 15 courses were chosen
Every course below is a real, currently listed course from Udemy, matched to "painting" by our catalog and ordered by our CourseAsk score. Courses whose own title names the topic rank above those only tagged with it.
The grade on each entry scores how much the provider publishes about the course before you pay — the length and detail of the description, whether it lists learning outcomes and objectives — and whether a named university or institution stands behind it. A is fully documented and institution-backed; E is little more than a title and a price. Courses with almost nothing published are left ungraded rather than marked down, because an unknown course and a poor one are not the same thing.
There are no star ratings on this page — the course feeds we license do not include them, and we would rather leave a column out than fill it with a number we cannot stand behind. What we do have is price: these range from $19.99 to $199.99, as listed by the provider when we last updated the page.

Best Painting Courses on Udemy compared
Prices shown are the provider's listed price when we last updated this page. Confirm on their site before enrolling.
What the prices here tell you
The 15 priced courses on this page run from $19.99 to $199.99, with the middle of the range around $29.99 — a spread of $180.00. That is a wide gap for one subject. A higher price on this page usually reflects who is behind the course rather than how much material it contains, so it is worth opening two or three at different price points and comparing their syllabus before deciding.
Who is behind these courses
These courses come from Udemy. Everything on this page is sold on the one platform, so the buying experience is the same whichever you pick.
Before you enrol
Open the provider’s own page and check three things this comparison cannot tell you: when the course was last updated, what the syllabus actually covers in its later sections, and what recent learners say. Prices shown here are the provider’s listed price when we last rebuilt this page on 18 September 2026 — they change often, and a promotion can move them substantially. We earn a commission if you enrol through our links, which costs you nothing and never affects the order courses appear in.
