Painting like Bob! Now students of the Arts of Great Falls can feel the magic of the wet-on-wet technique we all wish for when we see Bob on TV. This class is for all levels, especially those who always thought they can’t paint or were scared of laying hands on oil paintings. Students will start learning the basics of the wet-on-wet technique, using the proper use of the rather unusual brushes and apply what they learned on four real landscape sceneries.

About the Instructor
Araksi Martirosian-Janssen is a passionate painter. Araksi got her certificate in 2016 in New Smyrna Beach/ Florida and ever since, as an official CRI (Certified Ross Instructor), she has passed on the joy of painting in the spirit of Bob Ross for almost 10 years. Araksi has taught Bob Ross painting in community arts centers, her own studio, resorts and in private homes. In addition to Bob Ross’ “wet-on-wet” technique, Araksi was lucky enough to be taught classical oil painting by Herdin Radtke, the founder of Pomponism. “I can still remember the wonderful feeling when I finished my first Bob Ross painting one afternoon and couldn’t believe that I was capable of something like that. I want to make this wonderful feeling possible for anyone who thinks they can’t paint or are completely untalented as an artist. Because anyone can paint!” -Araksi Martirosian-Janssen
