Learn to Paint

with Hope

In addition to creating and curating original artwork, Hope Blakely also teaches painting classes designed to make the process approachable, enjoyable, and genuinely rewarding.

As a Certified Ross Instructor, Hope teaches beginner-friendly oil painting classes using the Bob Ross wet-on-wet method, along with private group classes and special workshops. Students are guided step by step and leave with a finished painting of their own — even if they’ve never painted before.

Classes are currently offered in the Arvada, Colorado area, with a variety of paintings and dates available.
