The Joy of Painting

The Joy of Painting was a good program. It was hosted by painter and artist Bob Ross. A unique individual with thick bushy hair and a beard. He would actually host this short show very well and give directions on how to paint these lovely pictures quite nicely. Its been a very long while since I have watched this show. I am not sure if this television program is still on television but if it is check it out on PBS or another channel that airs older programming because this is a different and interesting hobby and if you like nature and love looking at the sky and trees and like to see beautiful paintings then check out how there were created!

Each of these words perfectly describe the artistry and nature of Bob Ross. Not only was Joy of Painting a formative experience during my childhood, but as I have grown, I still watch Joy of Painting with the same sense of wonder I had as a child. The timeless nature will enthrall generations to come. Ross's style of entertainment is a mark of an era of kindness and warmth long lost to televised entertainment.

I started to watch The Joy of Painting thanks to Twitch, and it changed my life.

No matter what you do with your life, Bob will help you to be persistence, to never quit, to always go after you dreams. He was so calm, so kind, such a inspirational person.

You don't need to paint, you can just listen to him talking to you and you will feel the peace. If you feel angry, if you feel demotivated, just watch Bob painting his beautiful paintings and listen to him talking to you, I guarantee you will feel better.

Thanks you, Bob!

I so enjoy Bob Ross "The Joy Of Painting" and used to watch it each day it was on. I found it entrancing the way he can create, describe and instruct us to do the painting. He has such a soft embracing voice as he instructs as though he really cares about what he is doing. I have not watched till recently when I decided to paint again went searching internet and TV guides to see if it is still on. It is but not the "every day" it used to be but once a week. Although I would like more I will take what I can get. I like the way he would instruct by saying, "this is your world put as many trees as you want wherever you want them. It was as if he were saying you do not have to copy me you can create how you want it to be. I would love for it to be back on TV everyday. I just watch the first show since I found it again and he answered a question I had about how to create a certain illusion in my painting.

I used to watch this show whenever I had the chance when I was a young child, and it would always relax me. The soft voice...the "Dab..dab...dab" and the "happy trees....they are happy" would relax my mood and make ME happy. Not to mention the very amazing works of art Bob Ross would create, I found amazing that if people put their minds to it, we could all have those wonderful works of art in our homes. Bob Ross was amazing with what he could do with a brush and some paint....in just 30 minutes. The Joy of Painting was a very good show, however since I was born just seven years before it went off air, I did not have the chance to watch it as much as I would have liked.
