Welcome To Beyond the Joy Artist's Studio
The next step to learning the wet-on-wet method made popular by Bill Alexander and Bob Ross.
These lessons are where I demonstrate those techniques in greater detail while blending them with traditional methods. This will provide you with tools and knowledge created to help you move to the next level in your artistic journey.
I call it .... Beyond the Joy

I took my first class with Ron in the summer of 2024. I had never painted a thing before that first class and never imagined how far I would come in just a short period of time. Ron is a true artist, and his teaching style for any level of experience is unmatched. Ron has inspired me to always challenge myself and I am grateful for his classes. Thank you Ron!!

I learn so much with every class I take with Ron. He teaches you the techniques you need to paint your own masterpiece. Ron takes time with each student to help them. I look back at my first painting, and I am amazed at my progression. He takes his talent and shares it with others. I am always so proud to be learning from Ron. His talent and his instruction are above amazing.

If you want to learn how to paint, you need to go to Ron Ragucci’s classes. He took me on a journey from no experience to creating paintings I can be proud of. The best part is that the journey isn’t over!! Thanks, Ron, for your patience and instruction!!!

Ron’s instruction is clear & presented in a way that is easy to follow & understand. He fully engages the class in the Artwork we are creating and is eager to help and guide students through their paintings. I have made tremendous progress through his instruction and encouragement and look forward to each new class.
I highly recommend taking classes with Ron. It is quite a positive experience.

I have taken several painting classes with Ron and I can see progress in my paintings after each class. Ron takes the time to explain all aspects of the Bob Ross technique and he takes time with each individual during the class.
Ron is a great teacher and a very personable guy. Anyone thinking about a taking class, just do it and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Ron is such an excellent teacher. In his classes we go step-by-step and he’s in tune with making sure that everyone understands what he's teaching. Ron is very patient and makes sure we are satisfied with our work. I always leave with new understanding and knowledge. You leave with a sense of accomplishment and challenges to take home and paint on your own.
