Paint Like Bob Ross

Topic: Woodland Peace - Our reference painting for this class comes from the last season of The Joy of Painting that was finished by Nic Hankins. The scene is deep in the woods, amazing rays of light zinging through the happy trees.

Learn to paint like Bob Ross in one day. Dan Willcox leads students through creating a beautiful masterpiece, no previous painting experience required. Take home a completed painting. Students are led through every step, from preparing the canvas, how to use the brushes/pallet knives, loading the paint correctly on the tools and then feeling the magic and exhilaration of brush touching canvas. Each class date will have a different reference painting to draw inspiration from, no patterns or tracings are needed for this style of painting. The goal is to teach the process, technique and encourage each student to 'just let out their creativity,' so they will have so much fun, joy, and just love to paint. Any one truly can be successful at this style of painting.
