Paint Like Bob Ross: Desert Scene with Julie

As a passionate artist, Julie's love for painting has blossomed over the years, culminating in a significant turning point in December 2014 when she attended the Bob Ross Landscape Certification Training in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, while residing in Lake City, MN. This experience led to her certification as a Certified Ross Instructor (CRI), prompting her to begin teaching classes and embark on an incredible artistic journey. Since then, Julie has expanded her expertise, achieving certifications in Bob Ross's “Wet-on-Wet” landscape, floral (CRFI), and wildlife (CRWI) painting techniques. In the spring of 2022, she furthered her education by pursuing certifications in the Donna Dewberry One Stroke painting techniques, completing her initial Certification I, and finishing Certification II shortly thereafter. In the past 10 years, Julie has primarily taught across central Florida, but she also travels during the summer months to offer classes in states like Alabama, Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Julie now resides in Red Wing, MN and teaches at various locations around Minnesota and Wisconsin. Notably, she conducted a Bob Ross painting cruise to Cozumel, Mexico, in February 2020, and a four-day workshop in Guntersville, Alabama, in the summer of 2022. In her classes, she guides students through the process of preparing their canvases, demonstrating painting techniques step-by-step, and providing support as they complete their artwork. By the end of each session, participants leave with a finished painting to cherish for years to come.
