Greetings! I’m Ted Simpson, a Certified Bob Ross Instructor, dedicated to sharing the timeless Joy of Painting in the style of Bob Ross. My aim is to cultivate a lasting passion for art, much like the one that Bob Ross ignited within me.
My journey in art spans many years, during which I’ve delved into various forms of artistic expression. Back in the ’80s and ’90s, I found inspiration in the teachings of Bob Ross and his mentor, Bill Alexander, on PBS. Their approach revealed that artistic prowess akin to Michelangelo or Leonardo Da Vinci isn’t a prerequisite for creating captivating art. With a love for nature and a dash of practice, anyone can craft beautiful paintings without the need for weeks or months of labor. The beauty of the wet-on-wet technique lies in its efficiency, enabling the creation of compelling artwork in a short span of time.
Since 2017, I’ve been traversing the country, hosting events to impart the Joy of Painting. A special highlight for me is returning to New Smyrna Beach, Florida, where I underwent my certification training, to teach at the esteemed Bob Ross Gallery and Workshop.
From Baltimore to San Francisco, from Florida to San Diego, I’ve had the pleasure of connecting with thousands of eager students, passing on the same inspiration that Bob Ross kindled in me.
I offer private lessons and group events tailored to your preferences. Whether it’s hosting a church group, organizing Boy or Girl Scouts activities, planning a girls’ night out, or any occasion with loved ones, I’m equipped to bring the joy of painting to your doorstep. Additionally, I’m available for demonstrations at community gatherings like VFW halls, Lions Club meetings, or town council events, where attendees can even take home or raffle off the completed artwork.
Allow me the opportunity to guide you toward success, and you’ll discover the Joy of Painting, igniting a newfound passion to continue creating. Join me on this enriching journey, and together, let’s embrace the Joy of Painting.
I reside in the Farmington Hills area with my supportive wife and daughter, who have been my unwavering pillars throughout my journey as an instructor. Their encouragement has been invaluable, propelling me to where I stand today.
