There isn't one. I just thought of the opposite of Bob Ross and came up with Sam Kinison.
Nah, fukk that. I’m not doing that.

This is also when he decided he would grow out the afro as he had it shaved short throughout the marines and wanted to embrace his black roots which he had inherited from his grandfather Leeroy Jenkins.

You have to respect how he rocked that afro until the very end.

I think it depends. Non-Hodgkins is I believe a lot more unpredictable than hodgkins and can be harder to treat.

And he does it all under 30 minutes. Imagine if he actually had the time to truly devote himself to a painting.

Here's the thing: every painting you saw him make on TV, he did 3 versions. He made one before, one 'live' during the taping, and one after for his art books. If you look at his art books, those paintings are so much higher quality. What you see him do on TV is actually pretty menial compared to what he was able to produce when he took the time. He also used much brighter colors for the TV screen than he otherwise would have.

I'm currently trying to practice speed-painting to see what I could accomplish in 30 minutes. After 1.5 years of practice and 65 or so paintings, I'm able to do it, but it's limited. I don't really have the greatest vision or ideas. I guess that might come from years of practice and painting 30,000 paintings (so Bob claimed).

Example: Here is a painting, "under pastel skies," he did for TV:



And, here is that same painting he did afterwards for his art books:



You can see the latter is so much better and more refined. It's more nuanced and much softer. That's what critics of Bob Ross never took the time to learn. They just thought he was this schitty gimmicky afro'd TV painter that didn't really have any art skills. In reality, Ross is a trained artist. He trained for years and years before he found the wet on wet style. Bob Ross is really an incredibly skilled artist. I think people are starting to realize that now with some of his paintings going up in museum exhibits.

Hope that helped to clarify a few things. I also had no idea at all that this was the case before I started digging a bit more.

Here is that "speed painting" I did recently. Took me 30 minutes start to finish:



It's not great, but that's not what I was going for. I wanted to see if painting something in a half hour could be done reasonably.

Ross often got criticised for the way he paints, as if it were ''the lazy way of painting''. Funny thing is that he always wanted to showcase to people that basically anyone can do it, which is what he was all about. The wet-on-wet thing he always speaks of, allows you to basically create landscapes fairly easily through blending, as long as you have some idea of how something is supposed to look.

Only thing you really need to know is how to blend, have a basic understanding of shapes and how to structure (layer) your painting. That's it. And once you get the hang of it, it becomes a matter of finding joy through painting, which is what Bob stood for.

Very much depends on the type of it and various other factors. My wife manages clinical studies and compassionate use programs for lymphoma types that have a high mortality rate.

Absolutely. I'm an 'artist' myself. I've been composing music for half my life and play over a dozen instruments. I make records in my home studio. Having been involved in the music scene in some form or another for all of this time, I can tell you that a lot of musicians are self-righteous, sanctimonious, self-important pricks. Painters are the same. They all think they have this special innate unique talent and are god's gift to this earth - that they should be worshipped. There's a serious lack of humility in the art community. Enter Bob Ross, who told everyone that you don't need any special talent to paint, that if you have a dream in your heart and are willing to devote a bit of time to practice, anyone can paint. Thousands begin painting. They see Bob is right and it actually works.

Now, ask yourself, what becomes of those arrogant artists that think they're special? Well help my fuk, they don't like this one bit. It makes them feel insecure. God forbid they're no longer seen as unique and special. So, they schit all over the man who told thousands that they could.

That's basically where all of the criticism comes from. Bob tore down the walls and told everyone they could be artists too if they wanted. I really respect him for that. He had this great humble attitude about him and he expressed numerous times that what he was making was absolutely not fine art and it would never be seen in a museum. He painted for fun and for the joy of it. Hence, the name of his TV program.

That is incredible! I never knew bob ross actually had painting books out there. I'll have to look for them.
Do you know which books have all his paintings?


A quick google showed up this. smh.

The branding and use of his image is getting out of hand. There's a Bob Ross Monopoly game now. A Bob Ross toaster. It never ends!

He had instructional art books for every one of his series, totalling 31 I believe. I have one of his books physically and 2 more on PDF. There are detailed how to's for every painting he did for that particular series. I've yet to try painting something based on the book instructions.

Here's an example:

*Look at reflection in car window and flex every time crew*
*Use half the roll to wipe after a poo crew*
*Fart in the gym and blame rotten smell on faulty ventilation crew*
*Fart at home and blame it on the dog crew*
*Watch neutron-star density poop mock me as water flushes around it and it stays put crew*
*Drive 2 minutes in the summer and back of shirt gets completely wet crew*
*Coffee black as midnight on a moonless night crew*
*Fat shame my cat on a daily basis crew*

What is your opinion on what's the most instructional. His videos or his books?
And what taught you the most? Or is it simply trial and error until you get the techniques down?
How many paintings did it took before you were truly proud of your abilities?

I can't say with utmost certainty as I haven't followed alongside an instructional book yet. I'd imagine they must compliment on another.

For me, what taught me the most was just picking an episode of The Joy or Painting and following along. You'll learn something new every painting. A lot of it is 'feel' and can't really be taught outright. Things like the right consistency of paint, the right amount of liquid white, etc. A lot of that is trial and error, like you suggested.

I can't remember how many paintings I made until I found I was getting it. Maybe 15-20 or so? Once I got into the black canvases and the liquid clear, I had a lot of fun.
