Little Picassos Painting Studio
Wilshire/Montana · 1426 Montana Ave, Santa Monica, CA 90403
Little Picassos has been teaching Montana Avenue kids to paint since our founder left her job as a high school art teacher to open a studio just for little ones. Classes are process-focused, not perfection-focused — we want three-year-olds finger painting right alongside our more advanced young artists tackling still life. Every session ends with an art show on our front porch for pickup parents.
Grouped by class — pick a time that works.

This has become the highlight of his week, no contest. He made a handprint keepsake and he wouldn't stop talking about it. Signing up again next session without a second thought.
Miss Renee is so patient and encouraging with a room full of kids at totally different levels. He made a big colorful splatter painting and he wouldn't stop talking about it. Parking can be tricky right at pickup time but it's always worth it.
We've been coming since last fall and the difference in confidence is obvious. She made a sketchbook full of drawings and she wouldn't stop talking about it. There's usually street parking a block over, which helps with our double stroller.
It's fine — He likes it well enough but isn't begging to go. He did work on a handprint keepsake, so it's not all bad. It does the job.
I was nervous She would lose interest but it's been the opposite. She made a handprint keepsake and she wouldn't stop talking about it.
It's fine — He likes it well enough but isn't begging to go. He did work on a watercolor ocean scene, so it's not all bad. Parking can be tricky right at pickup time but it's always worth it. We might try a different time slot next session.
This has become the highlight of her week, no contest. She made a still-life drawing of an apple and she wouldn't stop talking about it.
Miss Renee is so patient and encouraging with a room full of kids at totally different levels. She made a comic-style character drawing and she wouldn't stop talking about it. The front desk always has our schedule ready even when we're running five minutes late.
For the price I expected a bit more structure honestly. He did work on a still-life drawing of an apple, so it's not all bad. We might try a different time slot next session.
