Special Paint Party

We often do private Paint Parties and I love to do them but from time to time I can’t make my schedule work with the client’s request. This week, luckily, we were able to work it out so that I could provide a guest teacher for the Paint Party at Virginia Hills Church. Thanks Debbie Ray for teaching and Melissa Reploeg for inviting The Studio to lead your event. I loved seeing y’alls photos. It looks like it was so much fun!

Yesterday the kids had a rare treat….we painted big Pumpkin Door Hangers instead of a canvas. These were NICE! And the kids did an awesome job. Lincoln was so impressed that he photo bombed their class photo. Kids class is every Wednesday at 4:15-5:15 pm. If you have a young painter that is interested contact kwalker@thestudioforlearning.com .

Bob Says…

The beauty of Bob Ross was that he made you feel like you could paint….even if you had never touched a brush. His encouraging words have helped so many people over the years become painters…including me. At the exhibit in Purcellville at the Franklin Parks Art Center the paintings were displayed along with some of his sayings. Here are a few. Enjoy!

Bob Ross!!!

Posted in daily painter, The Studio/Classes, Travel, tagged Bob Ross exhibit on September 18, 2019| Leave a Comment »

It was so great!!!! We saw the Bob Ross exhibit at Franklin Park Art Center in Purcellville yesterday. A group of nine went over and saw the amazing video about Bob and his life and how he began painting.

Then we saw some 30 of his paintings from his show, The Joy of Painting. It was very well done. The show is sold out but they told us yesterday that they may add a few more tickets to try to allow more people to see it so be sure to check their website.
