Location: 3425 Martin Farm Rd, Suwanee, GA 30024
Event Type: “Fall Lake” Bob Ross Inspired Paint Class
Date/Time: August 30th, 2022 6:30-8:30pm
This is the class that “started it all” with the Bob Ross craze at Monkey Wrench. The folks at MWB are huge art supporters and constantly play Bob Ross videos throughout the Brewery. Mr. Ross has quite the cult following at MWB in Suwanee. So when the events coordinator mentioned this to us, we said “Why don’t we try a Bob Ross inspired nature scene paint night? So customers can get the full painting experience!” The class filled up instantly, we had close to 30 people in that brewery painting happy little trees (Southern Misfit Version)! EVERYONE showed out for this class, friends and the community galore, people even came dressed as Bob Ross himself. This was a class we will never forget. We all thought who knew? People just kept signing up and rolling in. JuleahXart was the instructor that night and she had to paint over her example canvas just to let all the walk-ins join. I mean how could she turn away those epic wigs?
The Bob Ross Inspired paint classes are in the same style as our typical, paint and sip classes except the scenes we paint are inspired by his iconic paintings and simplified to fit into a 2-hour time span using acrylic paint (not oil paint like he used). This painting was a fall lake with a unique color story of neutrals with a pop of bright yellow.
Our typical paint and sip classes are completed using a 16” x 20” gallery wrapped canvas and acrylic paint in a 2-hour time span! It’s a great entry point for beginner artists while still feeling like a completed work of art at the end of it.
