We’re MOVING and will begin booking Painting with Rita – Bob Ross® Painting Classes again in Mid-March, 2026!
Certified Bob Ross Instructor®, Rita Stafford specializes in the Bob Ross Wet-on-Wet Technique® in both Landscape and Floral oil painting classes. Painting with Rita, currently in OCEANSIDE, CA – is relocating within San Diego County – destination to be announced shortly! If you’re interested in booking a session, please call or text 916-767-9876, or email [email protected] to schedule your private Paint-Like-Bob session, and I’ll contact you once our move is complete. Let’s paint some Happy Trees! 1-2 person classes are typical, but we’ll hopefully be able to book larger groups once we’ve moved. We frequently book 3-4 weeks in advance (or more), so be sure to contact us early to lock in your desired date(s).
UPCOMING CLOSURES – Rita will be unavailable for sessions due to our move:

Acrylic Painting Too
In addition to teaching the Bob Ross Wet-on-Wet Technique®, Rita also offers private acrylic painting classes in person and online. This is a great option for our younger artists with little or no painting experience or those who don’t want to use thinner/solvents while painting. You can see Rita’s gallery of acrylic paintings here!
To book your painting session, ask questions, or purchase any of Rita’s art, please call 916-767-9876 or email [email protected].
