Mark Terrell Artist & Bob Ross Instructor.

How it all began for me, 16 years ago I became ill with colitis. It took time to diagnose me and I was unable to work full time. While ill at home and watching TV, I stumbled across a program by chance, one morning called ‘The Joy Of Painting‘ hosted by Bob Ross, a very softly spoken man with a funny haircut, talking about ‘Happy Trees‘.

I could not stop watching, I was totally amazed at how Bob Ross was painting using a 2″ brush, and the fine detail he achieved. He made painting a masterpiece in 30 minutes so simple, I remember thinking surely it can’t be as easy to paint as that! Can it.? Yes it is, with a little practice and guidance.

I found a Bob Ross painting class on the internet, held by Paul And Terri from Sussex. I booked the class and attended, I was very nervous not knowing what to expect, but they put me at ease very quickly. (If you are in Sussex area, I would highly recommend their Bob Ross Oil Painting Classes)

The painting class helped me to feel relaxed. I actually found something that I really enjoyed doing and after just one painting class I was hooked, it was true, following guided instruction I achieved a great looking picture that even my family did not believe I painted.

I had never painted a thing before, I did not even do art lessons at school. But with the help of Bob Ross's techniques, I was able to create beautiful landscapes, seascapes, and floral paintings. I attended more oil painting classes with different Ross instructors, including Kirk Glander & Paul Bryant, they were great teachers.

By chance, while trying to find suppliers of Bob Ross paints, I came across a Bob Ross Teacher Training Course and I was offered a place on the Bob Ross CRI Landscape Course. On my first week of the oil painting training, I was being taught by Ellen Tye who herself, was taught by Bob Ross. My tuition was of the highest standard.

Years later after training, I am now honoured to be a certified BOB ROSS painting instructor in Landscapes, Seascapes, and Floral's and able to teach the Wet on Wet Style of oil painting. I am proud to say I am also a certified Bill Alexander Painting instructor. (This was the man who taught Bob Ross).

Today, I still continue to improve my oil painting and teaching skills and am proud to have taught over 1000 students. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced painter, I would love to help you develop your painting skills and discover the joy of painting.
