The Joy of Painting

Bob is a good teacher, i have always loved this show growing up, and it's great to catch an episode on PBS when it comes on. His methods are made simple, and when watching, you will see a beautiful painting made right in front of you. Sometimes you'll be watching, and you'll think "man, that looks weird" and then he does 1 or 2 brush strokes, and instantly it's the coolest thing you've ever seen... it's really too weird. If you've never seen the show, i would suggest that you look for it on your local access or PBS channel. If they don't have it, do as Bob always suggest and "request" that they air the show.....

Just beat the devil out of it!! :D

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

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 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.

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.
