My daughter (38) had a ‘Paint along with Bob Ross’ event. I believe she posted it in the town where she lives as well as on Facebook. She purchased a bunch of supplies so that folks who didn’t own any would have the paint, canvas, and tools necessary. It was a big hit, and people of all ages showed up. She had beverages, wine and non-alcoholic ones, as well as cracker with cheese etc. (It was held during a super slow time at a restaurant, out on their deck.) Everyone was incredibly happy, and it opened a door for those who never felt that they had any artistic abilities. The variety of the finished paintings was fantastic, and no one ended up with a painting that looked like ‘mud’. I think you might have better results than you imagine-please try it!

Painting is supposed to be fun. One instructional book I have says to paint a small canvas each night for three months, and stick to a set time short enough where it is difficult to finish, and don't even worry about the quality of the painting, and when that time is up stick that canvas in a closet and don't look at it. Repeat this for the 90 days and only then look through canvases. One will see improvement, and the advantage of that way is that one's style starts to emerge since one isn't really doing a paint by numbers approach.

If you really want it to turn out well, you need to use his real method. Use the "liquid white" base (either use his paints, which are a premium price, or purchase alternative versions meant to serve the same purpose. it's a specific style of painting on a wet background that he mastered and made famous). Use the real paints, real canvases, and decent brushes and you'll get real decent (at first) then good results. Follow his opening season episodes or his special extra long ones where he takes more time reciting the basic instructions. it can be done.

Ikr? He has this whole background scenery painted, and then SHAZAM he adds foreground right over the background he painted like it was never there. But somehow, we knew that lake, or treeline, or hill or whatever he just painted over was still there. I always wondered why he bothered taking time to paint all that background when he was just going to paint over it, but now I see it's part of the process, and the blending of colors bc that background IS really still there making the hues of the foreground more like in real life. His technique was amazing.

Then Mr Bob was coming on so we had the little TV in there and I’d been in my spot playing GI Joes and papaw blowing glass and Mr. Bob in the background. He’d say hey look at that Pete. He called me “Pete” cause he wanted me to be named Peter but I wasn’t but he called me Pete until the day he died. So many child hood memories unlocked!

Still one of the best shows to fall asleep to. So Bob was sanctioned in the US Air Force in Alaska and fell in love with the landscape there. After he left, he traveled the US Northwest for awhile studying landscapes and how the land, trees, and things. He spent his time working on very particular and 16th century form of painting that was not very popular called wet-on-wet. He had learned this mostly from a German TV show made by Bill Alexander. Most painters had to do each color and layer in their paintings in separate sessions letting the paints set. The wet-on-wet technique uses a constant blending of the paints to paint quickly. This limits the techniques that can be used as well as the range of colors. But Bob found he didn't have the patience for traditional painting and he loved just inventing these worlds in his head on his work breaks. So he came up with a particular set of colors and limited himself to the fan brush, 2-inch brush, 1-inch brush, fine detail brush, and a pallet knife and worked on a particular style that could be done easily and quickly. For the show he painted each painting three times. He painted one painting in rehearsal to lay out his ideas, figure out the timing, decide on techniques, and the theme of the painting he wanted to teach in that episode. The second painting he did almost always in one take on camera (usually with very little editing). And then finally he would go through and do another one slowly for photography for his instructional books that he also sold. Stopping after each step to do step-by-step close up pictures as it progressed. Bob painted around 30,000 paintings in his life and rarely sold any of them. He instead made most of his living off selling the books and paint kits. He really rather wanted to give people the gift of knowledge and have people paint for themselves instead of coveting something he created.

Bob Ross was right when he said, "If you use regular oil paint, you become a 'Mud Mixer'. What a disaster!!!! LOL Check your local Art Supply store if they carry either of two. else you can order on-line from their respective stores.

@@41Vega For the paint, stick with either the Bob Ross or William Alexander Brands. They are specifically designed for the Wet-on-Wet technique. They are dryer and firmer than traditional oil paints. If you can't find them at your local art supply store, you can order on-line from their respective web sites. As far as canvasses, any canvas that are labeled "suitable for oil and acrylic" will do. You can either get "canvas boards" or "pre-streatched canvas. The pros for canvas boards are they are cheaper in cost and are a good alternative for someone who is just starting out to see if they they like it. The con is that they do have a tendency to warp over time (unless mounted in a frame). Pre Streatched canvas is just that - canvas mounted on a wooden frame. They usually come with plastic wedges you tap into slots cut in the corners on the back of the frame to make the canvas more taut. Just make sure that the canvas says (at minimum) it is "doubled prime". Added Tip - The thing many beginners struggle with is putting on too little or more often , too much liquid white. The best way to test is to lightly touch your finger to the canvas. Just the ridges on your finger print should be distinctly and uniformly white. Best to start light because you can always add more. Over time you'll instinctively know how much to put on. If you accidentally added too much, just go over the canvas with a clean dry brush (depending how much you added you may have to do this several times - cleaning the brush each time). Hope this helps?

Bob's voice, demeanor, and the scenes he painted were, indeed, very therapeutic...

Bob Ross is great therapy! My brother was really into Ross' painting style. However, he told me that the biggest surprise is the huge amount of paint Bob has on his pallet! Obviously, this is necessary for filming purposes, but there's of a lot money on that pallet!

Bob Ross saying "it's that easy", he never understood how good and charismatic he was. Bless him and RIP

A little "behind the scenes", Bob Ross would paint three identical paintings for each episode. He painted one painting to plan his techniques and tools and to write the script for the show (there actually weren't any "happy little accidents"). He painted one version for the intro and then the version he painted during the episode. Most of his paintings are locked in a warehouse. Every once in a while a few go to auction for charities, mostly for museums, schools, and libraries, who usually keep the paintings on display. VERY FEW are owned by private individuals. He was a perfectionist. As long as you did your job to his approval, he was very laid back, but he wanted things done right and if you didn't, there were going to be some words.

Ross actually painted a guide paintings for the episodes. It was off to the side and used for reference. Even though it seems like he is just winging it, his final paintings looked exactly like the guide paintings.

He was ASMR before it even was a thing. There's nothing as soothing as watching an episode of The Joy of Painting.

Bob Ross❤ the absolute delight of watching him create! Edit to add i recently saw a stitched together video of his work- he was not just painting static scenes, he painted a journey through a more peaceful beautiful world.

For many people, Bob Ross's voice was the first time they ever experienced ASMR. I know it was for me. Immediate calming effect.

Bob Ross has got to be the most chill guy I think I've ever watched. I watched him as a child, but I never tried to paint a picture, it's just memorizing to watch. Happy fluffy clouds🎵

There was something magical about watching him create something by dabbing the brush onto a canvas and watching paintings emerge.

It’s amazing that he did all these paintings in just a half hour

You can do it. That's what he is teaching. Also, That's Bob's second version of that painting. He usually makes one for reference earlier in the day. He will have it off screen and he will usually reference it. Just watch his face and his eyes as he looks over there. Also, Bob will have an Idea for a painting the night before and draw it out roughly and paint it or do it earlier. So, yeah. He does it often two or three times. Once or twice before hand and then once on film.

My brother was the artist in the family, but I learned the blending technique from Bobs shows and used it in my color pencil drawings as a kid. I draw birds like he does to this day. There's a whole generation of children who draw the Bob Ross Sea Gull.

As others have noted, Bob was a National Treasure. I always used to chuckle at his "happy little trees". Just a gentle, kind soul. It's a proven fact that your blood pressure goes down when you watch Bob paint.

Yes. And the "sparklers" of yellow/green on the bushes. As I was driving one morning in the country, I suddenly found myself driving through a "Bob Ross" landscape. Sparklers on the bushes in the morning sun and everything. 😊

Both of you had about the same reaction to Bob's painting as I had. I think I watched almost all his programs because he always had great paintings when he was done.

The best part about Bob to me was that he never really planned out his paintings, he had general ideas of what he wanted but would just do whatever came to him at the moment. And despite the chaotic process, all his works embody peace, oneness with nature, and simple joys. Bob Ross is the Patron Saint of Painting to Beat Depression.
