About Nicholas Hankins

He was just eleven years old when he got his first Bob Ross paint kit, saying he felt “an indelible excitement that day which has grown exponentially over the past three decades.” Nicholas is a Certified Bob Ross Instructor and host of the new how-to painting series The Joy of Painting with Nicholas Hankins: Bob Ross’ Unfinished Season.
FAQ's
How do I get my ZOOM link for this event?
The Zoom link will be sent to all ticket purchasers immediately following your purchase of the ticket in your confirmation email. You may need to access your email’s JUNK/SPAM FOLDER to find this email.
How quickly will I receive my painting kit?
All kit purchasers will receive their paint kits approximately 3 weeks before the event.
Do I need to be home to receive my kit?
No, kits will be left at the address provided and do not require signature.
What do I do if my kit did not arrive in time?
This event WILL be recorded and sent to ALL attendees a week following the event so you still have the chance to enjoy the event if you miss the live Zoom event.
Does everyone planning to attend the event need to purchase a ticket/ kit?
YES. The paint kit has enough supplies for ONE painter. Each person who is painting will need their own ticket. For example, if two people will be painting together, please register for two tickets so we can send you two paint kits.
What is the vendor for the paint kits?
Paint kits are provided by our friends as Bob Ross Inc.
What do I need to prepare beforehand for this event?
- Our first suggestion is to ensure you have a strong internet connection! Next is to open your kit upon its arrival and ensure you have all the materials needed for your painting station before the event.
- Open the kit when it arrives to ensure you have all items
- What you will need to prepare for the event as recommended by Nicholas:
- Keep a roll of paper towels handy during the painting process. You'll need them to wipe-off your brush and knife occasionally.
- If you happen to get some paint on your hands, don't worry! It will wash off with warm, soapy water. A package of baby wipes will work too for cleaning hands and brush/knife handles.
- Wear old clothing or an apron or smock!. If you do happen to get some paint on your clothing don't panic! Treat the area with some dishwashing liquid (I prefer Dawn) by rubbing some into the stained area and washing your clothing in a warm water wash while the area is still wet.
- Lay out your painting tools and remove the shrink wrapping and label from your canvas, plus cover your tabletop with some plastic or newspaper.
- Tape your palette paper to your tabletop so it won't slip around.
- A small, disposable plastic plate or bowl (don’t use paper!) is good as a container for your Bob Ross Liquid White.
- Secure your canvas to a small upright table easel, or if you need a "makeshift" easel, lean your canvas against the back of a chair or fold sturdy cardboard into an "A" frame shape: secure with masking tape and something heavy behind it.
- When the class is over, wash your brush with some odorless paint thinner (DO NOT USE WATER!) to ensure it will be ready for your next painting adventure! Odorless paint thinner may be found at an art and craft store or, in a pinch, at a hardware store.
What do I do if my kit did not arrive in time?
This event WILL be recorded and sent to ALL attendees a week following the event so you still have the chance to enjoy the event if you miss the live Zoom event.
Where can I purchase more Bob Ross paint kits?
What landscape will we be painting?
