We had a great time in class on Sunday
Teaching another Seascape with our resident Bob Ross instructor Ian McDonald CRI 🎨
This was a seascape painting using the Bob Ross style which was one of Ellen Tye’s instructional paintings . She was Ian’s certification instructor who sadly passed away a few years ago
She was a master seascape artist in her own right and Ian made the day in class a memorable one for the students and Ellen’s stories about Bob along the way . High level tuition and the results speak for themselves . Check out their wonderful paintings 😊🎨
If your interested in future classes please phone the shop for details 01702435196
Have a great day 😊🙏👌🎨
