He practiced doing them again and again before recording episodes. He had chops he wasn't some improv master.
He would shoot an entire 13 episode season in like 2 days.

It followed the format of: he would paint a painting off camera, then he would paint it on camera looking at the one he painted earlier as a reference (this is what you see on twitch), and then he would paint a third version of the painting and they'd take pictures of brush strokes and stuff for his instructional material that his company sold.

PBS didn't pay him for the show. He did it for free.

Bob Ross gave away all his on-show paintings to PBS and almost never sold his personal paintings.

Bob Ross really grew to dislike the afro but kept it anyway because he's a relatively savvy businessman and figured without it his show would lose popularity. He even put it on the packaging of his paints and art supplies.

Bob Ross was in the air force for twenty years.

Bob Ross really liked wild life and would record squirrels in his yard, and he was going to do a show exposing people to the wonders of woodland creatures but then he died instead.

i wonder if bob ross' military record is the source of the myth about mr. rogers being a navy seal (combined w the pleasurable contradiction that perpetuates it)

He also donated every painting he made to PBS studios so they could auction them off and get some money to support themselves. All of his income came from the sale of his art products, how-to videos, and from the group of traveling instructors he had.

Yeah chat is actually surprisingly chill and funny for the most part. It's like Bob has calmed the raging beast. Maybe they should show the Joy of Painting in prison or something.

That actually sounds like a really really good idea.

Bob Ross stole a bunch of his painting techniques from a mentor, passed them off as his own and never acknowledged or gave the originator due credit

hey dude sick post except:

quote:

“I hand off my mighty brush to a mighty man, and that is Bob Ross"

quote:

TV host and prolific painter Bob Ross studied under Bill and there learned his wet-on-wet technique, a method of allowing oil applications to run together rather than waiting long periods for each layer to dry.[1] Ross dedicated the first episode of the second season of The Joy of Painting to Alexander, explaining that "years ago, Bill taught me this fantastic technique, and I feel as though he gave me a precious gift, and I'd like to share that gift with you [the viewer]".[2]

They really liked the owl. Bob made the owl a happy tree to sit in. It was a small tree of course, because the owl is just a baby.

You can start to see him getting weak now. Kinda sad. IIRC the last show was taped a couple of weeks/days before his death.
