Bob Ross Paint Along Workshops

After being inspired by what the folks over at i3 Detroitย were doingย by holdingย a Bob Ross paint-along, I decided earlier this year that my makerspace,ย kwartzlab,ย should run an oil painting class. We affectionately callย this workshop series theย Bob Ross Paint Along.ย We createย landscapes using the wet-on-wet technique thatย Bob Rossย taught in his show,ย The Joy of Painting. No experience is required to participate in this group workshop, making it a great way toย jump intoย oil painting at a low cost.

I encourage everyone to get in touch with yourย local arts or maker groups and find an oil painter who is a) willing to wear a wig, and b) enthusiastic about sharing their oil painting techniques in a class setting. It’s a lot of fun, and you will be amazed at what you can create.
