Oil Painting Weekend


Lisa Peek and Martha Davis pose with their finished paintings
Pennyrile Forest State Resort Park has hosted Oil Painting Weekend for over five years. In that time approximately 124 paintings have been created. 

If you've always wanted to learn how to paint, this is the weekend event for you! Learn the wet-on-wet method, made famous by Bob Ross, of oil painting by creating your very own 16x20 landscape painting. Our instructor, Bonita Mallory, will demonstrate her talents Friday night then instruct the class on
Saturday and Sunday.
Fees are: $65 for one class & Friday night program or $120 for two classes & the Friday night program. All materials are include in the fees. 

All the participants have to do is show up wearing clothes they don't mind getting paint on. Participants also will need to make sure that they have room in their vehicles to bring home a wet oil painting.  It can take up to seven days for a painting to dry completely.

We currently have room for 3 more participants in the Saturday class and 11 more participants in the Sunday class.
