Our Group

Painting with Class is a group of folks who gather in Delmar, Delaware to share their love of decorative painting and learn new tips and techniques.

We currently meet on Mondays as the "Schedule" shows for informal instruction led by Loretta Graf.

We encourage those interested in joining us to sit in on a class.

Our Instructor - Loretta Graf

Loretta Graf inherited her love of painting from her mother who worked in pastels and sold her art during the Depression. She expanded her skills and techniques by taking classes across the country in all the locations her Navy husband was transferred. She has worked in pencil, oils, watercolors, and acrylics. Loretta has been teaching classes for over 30 years and loves helping new students discover the love for decorative painting.

Loretta is currently a resident of Dover and the past-president of the Delmarva Decorative Artists, a chapter of the Society of Decorative Painters.

The Bottom Line

Most sessions cost between $8.00 and $10.00. Sometimes, there may be a $.50 charge for a color picture of the project.
