Bob Ross Style Painting Class

Bob Ross painting, art classes, painting classes,

Many of you may remember Bob Ross, TV PBS host of "The Joy of Painting" show that ended 1994. Shows can now be seen on Netflix or YouTube. Bob's Zen-like voice and relaxing style hypnotized us all. But it was his technique that really captivated us with his ability to create a painting in 30 minutes.

Now you can learn his wet in wet technique by taking a class on October 21st at Oriental Arts Trumbull. Bob used special brushes and special thick, quick drying oil paints along with liquid white to allow a painter to apply many layers of paint to the canvas while still wet. A painting can be completed in one class.

I have been studying traditional oil painting for many years, but it wasn’t until I became a Certified Bob Ross Instructor that I feel in love with oil painting. The freedom that this technique allows that just stimulates your creativity is not one that I have found with other painting mediums.
