Bob Ross Open Paint: The Bob Ross company has hosted many painters over the years. These have included oil, watercolor and acrylic artist. Although oil is my mainstay I do teach watercolor and have dabbled in acrylics.
I have learned that some techniques work across the board and some can be adapted. The best thing is... I've learned while painting with others, no matter what the medium.
This year I'd like to offer the chance for painters to get together and share in the joy of painting.
For more information go to the Classes page and look for a Bob Ross Open Paint.

Another Saginaw Workshop: Special thanks to Jo Brownlie and her staff for providing us with a great painting experience. We're going to do it again on Monday, February 27. The time will be from 10am - 5pm.
The extended class time at S.V.S.U. (my usual class is about 4 hours) will allow us to work on a larger variety of paintings. Join us for a full day of painting at Saginaw Valley State University.
Another workshop is already in the works for April 30.


Winter Whoa's: When the roads get bad it's time to say "whoa".
Bad weather and/or road conditions may create an unsafe travel situation in which case I will cancel class.
I will do this 24 hours in advance.
Please check the website Classes calendar for notices.
If there isn't a cancellation notice it means class is on.
Please be pro-active and check the calendar often if it looks like bad weather.
Also, please be considerate. If you can't make it..... let me know. Do not email, call 248-393-2631.


Cold Weather Tip: Bring a large plastic bag with you. It's a great place to keep your coat during class.
