• How do I know I can paint?

  Many of my students had never painted before coming to their first class. But, not one of them failed to finish a ready-to-frame painting they were proud of in their very first class. You can do it, too!
  
  

• Tell me about the Bob Ross "wet-on-wet" technique.

  It is the application of wet paint on top of wet paint, omitting the traditional "wait" for each layer to dry. Using special firm oil paints and starting with a wet-based canvas, the paint may be glided across the canvas with large brushes and palette knives - making clouds, trees and water appear in seconds. And, it's so easy! Try it!!

  I teach classes in a very easy-to-understand, step-by-step method. You are shown how to paint a feature and you then paint that step while I oversee your progress.

  Even though you've never painted before, in your very first class with your own talents, you complete a ready-to-frame painting that you are proud to take home.
  
  

• What do I have to bring to a workshop?

  I supply all the equipment you need to produce your masterpiece.
  
  Make sure you wear old clothes as you are likely to get paint on you and oil paint doesn't come off your clothes.
  
  Other than tea and biscuits, I don't provide food so please also bring something to eat for lunch.
