ARTS & CRAFTS

“BOB ROSS” PAINTING:Remember the popular show on PBS starring the man with the big curly hair who could paint a whole landscape in under 30 minutes? Then you remember Bob Ross. He’s the soft spoken guy painting happy clouds, mountains and trees in about 26 television minutes, using big house painting-type brushes and cooing soothing “you can do it” to his audience. His “Joy of Painting” program remains one of the most recognized TV art shows in history. You asked for more “Bob Ross” painting, and we heard you! Dee Sullivan, an instructor certified by the Bob Ross estate, is back to offer two opportunities to develop your joy of painting.

Classes are especially suited for beginners; students need no previous experience to attend. Participants are encouraged to bring a packed lunch.

Your work, whether drawing, painting, or sculptuing- will stand only if it is constructed on a solid foundation. ” (Fred Ross, Chairman, Art Renewal Center).
