Product Information

Ross was well known for phrases he tended to repeat while painting, such as "let's add some happy little trees". [26] The landscapes he painted, typically mountains, lakes, snow and log cabin scenes, were inspired by his years in Alaska, where he was stationed for the majority of his Air Force career. He repeatedly said everyone has inherent artistic talent and could become an accomplished artist given time, practice and encouragement. Ross would say, "we don't make mistakes; we just have happy accidents." [30] Bob Ross has taught millions of people worldwide to paint. His simple wet-on-wet technique is designed so that anyone who has the desire to paint will achieve instant encouragement and success. All the unique Bob Ross materials and tools have been carefully formulated and designed to achieve success in his wet-on-wet technique. Pegley, Kip (2008).

Harris, Scott (February 9, 2009) "Happy accidents and the legacy of Bob Ross". American City Business Journals The instructional program premiered in 1983 on PBS, where it would run for over a decade and attract millions of viewers, including those who wondered if Bob Ross’s original paintings would ever be put for sale by PBS. As a TV painting instructor, Ross was known for his warm baritone voice, gentle demeanor, and light humor as well as his ability to complete beautiful landscape paintings in 30 minutes. In 1982, to plug the new show, PBS ran a commercial that showed Alexander passing a brush—the TV painter’s proverbial torch—to Ross: “I hand off my mighty brush to a mighty man, and that is Bob Ross,” Alexander exclaimed. “Thank you very much Bill,” Ross responded, with typical tranquility. a b "Bob Ross, Television's Favorite Artist".

Instead, Ross wrote the Kowalskis out of his will and testament, leaving his estate and rights to his name and likeness to his son Steve and half-brother Jimmie Cox. The Kowalskis countered that virtually everything Ross had done in his lifetime was a work for hire and thus Ross had no right to bequeath them. The Kowalskis eventually won the lawsuit.

The Twitch streams created a new interest in Ross and caused his popularity to grow. [16] His videos subsequently became popular with devotees of ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response). [14] ASMR refers to a pleasant form of paresthesia, or tingling, often brought about by specific visual or auditory stimuli. [67] Many viewers found that listening to Ross triggered an ASMR response. According to Joan Kowalski, the president of Bob Ross Inc.: "He's sort of the godfather of ASMR... People were into him for ASMR reasons before there even was an ASMR." [14] See also In 2014, the blog FiveThirtyEight analysed 381 episodes in which Ross painted live, concluding that 91% of Ross's paintings contained at least one tree, 44% included clouds, 39% included mountains and 34% included mountain lakes. By his own estimation, Ross completed more than thirty thousand paintings. [31] His work rarely contained human subjects or signs of human life. On rare occasions, he would incorporate a cabin, sometimes with a chimney but without smoke, and possibly unoccupied. [16] Other media appearances His remains are interred at Woodlawn Memorial Park in Gotha, Florida, under a plaque marked "Bob Ross; Television Artist". [41] [42] Ross kept his diagnosis a secret from the general public. His lymphoma was not known outside of his circle of family and friends until after his death. [5] [11] Newfound interest in Ross occurred in 2015 as part of the launch of Twitch Creative. Twitch hosted a nine-day marathon of The Joy of Painting beginning on October 29 to commemorate what would have been Ross's 73rd birthday. [53] [54] [55] Twitch reported that 5.6 million viewers watched the marathon and, due to its popularity, created a weekly rebroadcast of one season of The Joy of Painting each Monday. A portion of the advertising revenue was promised to charities, including St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. [56] Ross was noted for his permed hair, which he ultimately disliked but kept after he had integrated it into the company logo. [11] [7] :19Ross was working as a part-time bartender when he discovered a TV show called The Magic of Oil Painting, hosted by German painter Bill Alexander. [7] :17–18 Alexander used a 16th-century painting style called alla prima (Italian for 'first attempt'), widely known as "wet-on-wet", that allowed him to create a painting within thirty minutes. Ross studied and mastered the technique, began painting and then successfully selling Alaskan landscapes that he would paint on novelty gold-mining pans. [5] [9] Eventually, Ross's income from sales surpassed his military salary. He retired from the Air Force in 1981 as a master sergeant. [5] [11] [8] [12] During his 20-year Air Force career, Ross developed an interest in painting after attending an art class at the Anchorage U.S.O. club. He found himself frequently at odds with many of his painting instructors, who were more interested in abstract painting. Ross said, "They'd tell you what makes a tree, but they wouldn't tell you how to paint a tree." [10] While these qualities may seem distinctive to Ross, they in fact have a very clear precedent: Ross’s own mentor, a painter by the name of William “Bill” Alexander. It was Alexander who taught Ross how to complete a full landscape in under 30 minutes. It was Alexander who was the first to host a live painting show, The Magic of Oil Painting, on PBS. It was even Alexander who coined the catchphrase “happy little trees,” now largely attributed to Ross. a b c d e f g "The Surprisingly Mysterious Life of Famed Artist Bob Ross". Today I Found Out.

Bob Ross tools are an excellent tool for artists who are painting in the same style as Joy of Painting host Bob Ross.

Small animals often appeared on his Joy of Painting canvases.
