What to Expect at Your First Bob Ross Painting Class (And Why You’ll Be Glad You Came!)

Have you ever stared in awe at a Bob Ross painting and thought, “I wish I could do that…” but then immediately dismissed the idea because you’ve never picked up a paintbrush before? You’re not alone—and we’re here to tell you that yes, you absolutely can do it!

Taking your first Bob Ross painting class is more than just a step into the world of oil painting—it’s a chance to unwind, tap into your creativity, and walk away with something you’re proud of. And with a Certified Bob Ross Instructor® like Jen DeVore leading the way, your first class is guaranteed to be a joyful and supportive experience.

No Experience Needed—Just a Willing Spirit

One of the most common fears people have before signing up is, “But I’m not an artist!” That’s exactly why these classes are designed for beginners. You don’t need experience or special supplies—just bring yourself. Jen walks you through the process step-by-step in a relaxed, encouraging environment. There’s no pressure, no judgment—just happy little trees, friendly clouds, and good vibes.

A Student’s Perspective

Take it from Santina Lane, who recently took her first Bob Ross-style class with Jen:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Very fun relaxing day with Jen DeVore. She's an experienced Bob Ross expert and had patience with me as it was my first real oil class.”

That kind of experience isn’t the exception—it’s the norm. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, looking for a unique date idea, or simply want to try something new, Jen’s classes are designed to make you feel at ease while giving you room to explore your creativity.

What You’ll Walk Away With

  • A finished painting you created yourself (yes, really!)

  • A new sense of confidence in your creative ability

  • A calm, joyful experience that makes everyday stress melt away

  • Memories worth sharing with friends, family, or even your social media followers

And who knows—you might just catch the painting bug and want to come back for more!
