About our Certified Bob Ross® Classes

The new Netflix documentary about the Bob Ross® company (BRI) has raised some interesting questions about the Joy of Painting®. In response to some of the questions we're receiving, here is some useful information for our painting students, who take classes with Independent Certified Bob Ross Instructors®, Nancy Cronk or Gina Withington. Our studio is independent and family-owned by a local Denver family. Certified Ross Instructors® are not employees of the Bob Ross® company (BRI), nor do class fees go to BRI. Instructors are certified with a curriculum that Bob designed himself in 1986. The techniques we teach are consistent with what Bob taught himself. Although BRI supplies are used in class, we do not sell them at the studio and we do not "push" anyone to buy anything from BRI. Customers are encouraged to try Bob's materials and techniques and decide for themselves. Our goal is to give you the knowledge, the skills and the confidence you need to experience the Joy of Painting® for yourself! Nancy Cronk, Certified Ross Instructor®
