  • Materials list and color photos of the paintings can be found at the links after each course description.An 18x24 canvas, paper towels, baby wipes and trash bag must be supplied by the student.
  • Brushes, paints, palette knife and thinner can be conveniently rented for $20, payable in cash to the instructor.
For best results, Bob Ross® brushes and paints are recommended. However, you may bring other oil paints and brushes if you wish. We will be setting up your workstation at 8:10am so everyone is ready to paint promptly at 8:30am. Must be at least 16 years old to enroll. Register early as class size is limited.
