Samson, Christine
Remember that soft-spoken guy with the "afro" hairstyle who painted beautiful paintings in a half hour on the local PBS station? He was always saying things like, "Happy Little Trees®" and "No Mistakes, Just Happy Accidents®." Bob left a training school that certifies instructors to teach his method all over the world (Certified Ross Instructor -CRIs ®). Chrissy Samson, is one of those teachers. CRI’s are fully trained by and have the full endorsement of Bob Ross, Inc. to teach the Bob Ross method wherever they choose to teach! Bob Ross® Workshops are for anyone wanting to paint beautiful Bob Ross Style Scenes utilizing Bob Ross Branded paints, brushes, pallet knives, etc. and to have a fun & rewarding experience in about three (3) hours (all materials provided). Bob painted not to show us how good HE was, but how good WE can be - all of us!
Bob's mission was to make painting fun and rewarding for everyone, not just for the chosen few. Whether you’ve painted before, or you’ve never touched a brush in your life, this workshop will show you that there are no great mysteries to painting. You need only the desire & a few basic tools (provided) that have been developed by Bob Ross himself. At the end of the workshop, you’ll go home with a frame-ready painting that you never thought possible, created by your own heart & hands. Happy trees, mountains and clouds await!
"All you need is the desire to make beautiful things happen on canvas." -Bob Ross

Watercolor can be used along with or in place of black ink to create casual and fun letterforms and designs. In this class we will cover the basic principles of brush lettering and use both paintbrushes and dip pen nibs to write with. Students will become familiar with using pan watercolors as well as gouache, which will be used to create our own inks for dipping. We will also practice writing on watercolor paper, which is far less smooth than most calligraphy paper and comes with its own set of challenges. Ages 17 and up.
