If you’ve ever tried to get a kid across Miami during the afternoon rush, you already know the problem. Between the traffic on the Turnpike and juggling school pickup and after-school activities, adding a studio commute to the mix just isn’t realistic for most families. That’s exactly why we built Maria’s Art Lessons around coming to you. We bring everything needed right to your door — no drop-offs, no parking, no scrambling. Just quality one-on-one instruction in the comfort of your own home, on a schedule that actually works for your family.
In-Home Art Classes Near The Hammocks
The way it works is simple. We come to your home in or around The Hammocks and get straight to work. Every session runs one hour and is completely private — it’s just the student and the instructor, focused entirely on that individual. We bring all the supplies, so there’s nothing for you to buy or set up in advance. Lessons can be scheduled weekly or bi-weekly depending on what fits your routine. And if your child has never picked up a pencil with any intention behind it, or if you’re an adult who hasn’t attempted anything creative since high school, that’s completely fine. We start exactly where students are.
Children’s Art Classes and Adult Beginner Lessons
We work with students as young as five years old, and the early lessons are as much about developing confidence and coordination as they are about making art. Kids this age are building fine motor skills, learning how to observe their surroundings, and starting to express ideas they can’t yet put into words. Private instruction moves at the pace the child actually needs — not the pace of a group class where some kids are bored and others are lost.
For adults, beginning art lessons often carry a little extra hesitation. People worry they’re “not creative” or that they’ve waited too long to start. We hear that a lot, and it’s never true. Adult beginner lessons are structured around building real foundational skills without pressure, and the one-on-one format means there’s no audience and no comparison to anyone else.
What Students Learn
Our curriculum works through several mediums — pencil, pastel, watercolor, and acrylics — giving students a broad foundation rather than limiting them to one style. The focus throughout is on drawing fundamentals and composition, which are the building blocks that make every other skill easier to develop. Students don’t just copy images; they start to understand why things look the way they do and how to see the world with an artist’s eye.
Painting Parties for Kids and Groups in Miami
Beyond private lessons, we also run painting parties and group events throughout Miami-Dade — birthday parties, date nights, team-building events, anniversaries, casual get-togethers, you name it. We handle all the logistics: supplies, canvases, setup, and step-by-step instruction so that everyone in the group actually finishes something. Each guest walks away with their own stretched canvas painting they can hang on a wall. We can accommodate groups of up to 50 people, and sessions typically run two to three hours. If you have a color preference or want the painting to match a theme, we can work with that at no extra charge.

South Florida Communities We Serve
We’re mobile throughout Miami-Dade, so if you’re in Kendall, West Kendall, Doral, Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay, Cutler Bay, or anywhere in between, there’s a good chance we can get to you. The Hammocks is right in the middle of a lot of communities we regularly visit, so even if you’re just outside the neighborhood, it’s worth reaching out to check.
How to Get Started
Getting started is straightforward. Reach out by phone or email, let us know whether you’re interested in private lessons or a group event, and we’ll talk through your schedule and availability. For painting parties, we ask that you book at least two weeks before your event date — and please be aware that event deposits are non-refundable once a cancellation is made. For private lessons, all materials are included from day one, so there’s nothing extra to prepare.
