I'm sitting down with Jeffry Krafft, artist, educator, and creator of @thecompletepaintertv Jeffry shares his journey from teaching in galleries to producing his own public access TV show, and how a chance encounter led him to discover the magic of creating art for broadcast.Often compared to Bob Ross, Jeffry opens up about the challenges of living under that shadow, the reality of mistakes in painting, and why persistence—not perfection—is the true secret to creativity. He explains how layers, patience, and problem-solving transform a blank canvas into something extraordinary, and why anyone can learn to paint with the right guidance.From teaching at universities and art centers to hosting sip-and-paint nights, Jeffry’s mission is clear: to help people step away from screens, embrace the arts, and discover the joy of making something with their own hands.Stay tuned for insights on technique, creativity, and the life-changing power of picking up a brush.
