A-list celebs who are artists too
After Kim K's emotional defense of her daughter's art, North West scores invite to Bob Ross Experience
© <p>Getty Images</p>
Stars don't just make headlines. Believe it or not, they can also make some incredible pieces of art.
And "incredible" was certainly the word of the moment when fans simply could not believe that the Bob Ross-esque oil painting Kim Kardashian posted on social media was really created by her seven-year-old daughter. Indeed, Kim emphasized in a subsequent (and very emotional) post, North West did create the beautiful artwork, and she did so over weeks in an oil painting class. "NORTH WEST PAINTED THAT PERDIOTDDDDDABCDEFGZFDT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" the post read.
Now, little North has scored a personal invite to the Bob Ross Experience in Indiana, in the same venue where Ross filmed his beloved series 'The Joy of Painting,' where she'll get a class in the famed painter's techniques. We can only imagine how satisfied Kim is after being flat-out called a liar.
The eldest of the West children is joined by the likes of Jim Carrey, Miley Cyrus, Gigi Hadid, Marilyn Monroe and other high-profile celebrities who moonlight as visual artists. Check out this gallery filled with doubly gifted stars from the past and present.
