Paint Like Bob Ross

Tanya Simonne is a Certified Ross Instructor® At Happy Little Painter
​
Tanya received her (CRI) Certified Ross Instructor® certificate in March of 2022 and has been teaching professionally since March 2023.
She learned the Bob Ross Wet-on-Wet Technique® under the instructor Nic Hankins at The Bob Ross Workshop in New Smyrna Beach Florida.
As a child, Tanya watched The Joy of Painting® on a small black and white TV.
She, along with most people that watched, fell in love with Bob's soft and gentle voice and the seemingly effortless style of painting. Decades later, she took a hobby class in New Smyrna and was told she could become a CRI®. To be part of Bob's dream, to spread the joy of painting, to so many has just been an honor for her.
Tanya has taught many people that have never picked up a paint brush before.
Her casual style of teaching settles nerves and allows students to flourish.
These classes also give the seasoned artist an opportunity to be creative on their canvas while learning Bob Ross' technique®.

Bob once said,
"You do not have to be blessed by Michelangelo at birth to be a pretty good painter.
You can do this."
Bob was right!
At the end of class everyone is proud of their masterpieces.
"The secret to doing anything is believing that you can do it. Anything that you believe you can do strong enough, you can do. Anything.
As long as you believe."
-Bob Ross
