Bob Ross for Kids Painting Party Kit includes painting instruction and supplies for 4 children to complete 4 different paintings (instructions for 5 options) in the iconic style of Bob Ross. A link to watch video instruction for the exact paintings is inside the front cover of each guide. You will see a master teacher walk you through the process. It certainly helps if you are familiar with Bob and his PBS series. If you cannot access the link, the color photos guide you step-by-step, but there is nothing like watching someone paint and narrate what they are doing. Bob has a certain way with a palette knife and a fan brush that are hard to convey in print. So, watch a few episodes and study how he uses his tools, and then you are ready to have a go at it using this amazing kit! It would be perfect for a family with multiple ages, or even for adults who want to try their hand at happy little trees and clouds. Caution for adults—the brushes have handles made for small hands.
Included supplies are listed below in the publisher’s description. As someone who has purchased a lot of art supplies over the years, these are quite nice, and everyone gets their own set of tools. Paints are to be shared, with enough to complete the 5 projects shown in the guides. Each person gets their own guide too! This means you can all work on the same painting or each choose a different painting. The palettes are simply waxed paper, but it is effective. You could use a coated paper plate if you prefer.
The painting selections are iconic of Bob Ross’s style and techniques. There is a mountain scene with a lake and trees, a woodland path with a shack, pine trees with clouds and undergrowth, palm trees with a sunset, and an icy snow scene with pines. You will love the experience and how easy it is using his brush techniques and of course, good old liquid white paint! ~Sara
