Paint like Bob Ross! Experience the joy of painting with oils and take home your own completed masterpiece with Certified Ross Instructor® Bram Bevins. These three-hour classes use the Bob Ross wet-on-wet painting method. While traditional oil painting methods require that you wait between each color for the oil paint to dry, the wet-on-wet method involves mixing the perfect color on the canvas allowing a beginner painter to complete a painting in a short amount of time. Blending the colors in this way helps mimic the beauty of nature. No previous art experience required. All supplies are provided, including a 12”x16” canvas, brushes and paint. Bring a roll of paper towels or wet wipes to use during the class, and a box or towel to transport the painting home. Completed oil paintings can take up to one month to fully dry. Please also bring an apron to wear or clothing you don’t mind getting paint on. Oil painting can be messy!
