Bob Ross Workshops

Our Bob Ross Workshops are for anyone from a complete beginner who has never touched a paint brush to more advanced painters.

At each workshop Adrian and Annette teach a set painting step-by-step, and at the end of the day you will take home a finished oil painting that will impress your friends and family.


Techniques
Although our Simply Oil and Bob Ross workshops are both wet on wet techniques they differ to each other quite a lot for instance using our Simply Oil technique you can paint directly onto a dry canvas which allows you to sketch a scene before you paint it, where as using the Bob Ross technique you apply a medium “liquid white” covering the entire canvas before you start which makes blending easier.

What is wet on wet?
Wet on wet is the process of adding fresh colour into existing, still wet layers. The technique can be used to bring great immediacy and interest to the image. It also can be used as a technique for blending, and can be accomplished with the colour in virtually any state of viscosity, from thick and stiff, to fluid.
This can be combined with the S’graffito technique which is scraping into a wet oil film, usually with the handle end of a brush, or a painting knife. It’s an expressive effect, and is also effective for defining outlines.
