Course Syllabus:          Bob RossÒ Wet-on-Wet Oil Painting

 

Instructor:                    Stephanie Denny, Certified Bob RossÒ Instructor

Project:                        “Rowboat on the Beach”

                                   

Outline:  This class will teach the basics of the Bob RossÒ wet-on-wet oil painting technique.  As seen on the PBS “Joy of Painting” program, this technique is easy to learn – even for beginners.  Students will complete an entire painting in one class.

Class will begin promptly at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, August 11, 2010. Please plan to arrive at least 20 minutes before class to set up your workstation.  

 

Supply List

 

Visit http://SteviePaints.com to see a short video that explains the supplies needed for a Bob Ross class.

For best results, Bob RossÒ brushes, oil paints, and odorless thinner are recommended.  These supplies may be purchased at most arts & crafts stores.  Students may bring other brands of paints or brushes, but success with this method cannot be guaranteed.

 

Note:  It’s very important to bring all the supplies listed.  If you don’t bring all the paint colors, you may not be able to complete the painting.  The instructor does not sell or have any extra supplies, and the instructor is not responsible if you can’t find all the paint colors or other supplies.

 

Don’t wait until the day before class to buy your supplies.  If you do, it’s likely you won’t be able to find everything you need.  You may need to go to more than one store to find all the supplies.  If you can’t find all the required Bob Ross paint colors, buy another brand of oil color – but don’t come to class without all required supplies.

 

If you purchase a Bob Ross Master Paint Kit, it won’t contain Yellow Ochre or Phthalo Green, which are both needed for this painting.  You need to purchase them separately, or just do without them; but the instructor will not supply them.
