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!

Amazing show. Anytime I need cheering up or just want to relax, I can turn it on and enjoy time with Bob. He's so encouraging and positive.

His paintings looks amazing, even though I've never tried sitting down with oil paints and attempting them myself.

I had never heard of the wonderful Bob Ross until 2020 when BBC4, the UK channel, started to run his shows and I find them strangely addictive. His voice is so soothing that I find myself starting to nod off. I'm sure that if these shows were shown to people suffering from stress that they would show an immediate improvement.

I had thought that it took an artist a few days to produce a painting but Bob does it in 30 minutes. I feel like running out and buying some paint, brushes and canvases. I wonder if other artist were happy about Bob revealing how easy it can be to quickly produce good paintings.

I agree with Peep Show. Bob Ross must be God. He am become life, creator of worlds.

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.
