La Peinture pour le Plaisir

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

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

Never has there been a TV personality as kind, gentle and genuine as Bob Ross. My mother was an amateur painter and I used to watch his show along with her as a child. Together we would delight in the magic that occurred each time Bob put brush to canvas in a short 30 minute episode. As an adult, I have rediscovered the joy & pleasure that comes from watching Bob paint a masterpiece before my eyes! His soft, lilting voice instills peace. His positivity and encouragement inspire confidence. The technique and instruction he shared provided the world with an opportunity to discover hidden talents. I miss Bob Ross; the world was truly a better place with him in it. I can only imagine the large number of beautiful paintings that would've been created, had he lived longer. But I am grateful for the life he led and the legacy he left behind!

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.

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.
