Join us for a fun and relaxing painting experience that is perfect for the complete beginner and the experienced painter.

Mark Saenger will walk you through step by step using the Bob Ross method of creating a wet on wet oil painting. By the end of the day, you will leave with your masterpiece ready to frame.

Mark is a certified Bob Ross teacher, having spent time learning personally from and having a friendship with him back in the early 90's. Learn the special techniques as seen on TV and remember there are no mistakes - just happy accidents!
