A Little Background History
Tune in any weekday at 8.00 am on Discovery Real Time Channel 240,
.and I, like many thousands of people marvel at the ‘Joy of Painting’ demonstration by the quitely spoken bushy haired Bob Ross, completing a remarkable Landscape painting in just 30 minutes.
My only claim to fame as an artist before undertaking Bob Ross Teacher Training, was a commissioned portrait of the Rt Hon William Hague ,and having painted Watercolour, Pastels and Acrylics with mixed sales success at exhibitions, I came across the Bob Ross style way back in 1994 when wintering in Tenerife. .An Artist friend loaned me a copy of one of the many Bob Ross ‘Joy of Painting’ ‘How To’ books that parallel the 390 programmes featured in the 30 TV Series ,and I just had to have a go ,and could not believe how easy the wet on wet oil painting technique was.
Unlike traditional oil painting involving layer upon layer, with in between drying time of days and weeks, this wet on wet technique enabled me to complete a successful painting in just one session, as hundreds of Bob Ross Joy of Painting Students will testify.
