I am not an artist, not even a little. In fact I have never in all my life tried to paint anything. I won’t lie I had apprehensive preconceptions about this class, but at the end I was a little sad it was over…

Mr. Halstead’s Bob Ross class was top class. With the laid back style yet structured instruction; the class couldn’t have been more comfortable or informative.

Some had not painted before, others it had been a long time, (me over 30 years). It didn’t matter, everyone was treated as if they were special.

No one felt they weren't "good enough" and we all left with an actual painting that we'd feel good about framing.
