I will confess,
I love this cultured hell that tests my youth.

It's kind of frustrating at times how easy he makes things look. Giving false hope to would-be painters everywhere. He can make a full beautiful little nature scene out of literally nothing in 25 minutes with no effort. Abracadabra! Two seconds and this blob of black is now a mountain that looks better than anything you'll ever think about drawing for the rest of your life!

This thread is going to be stuck up top for a few days because what the hell. People need to watch at least a few minutes/hours/days of this.

When I was a kid, I'd come home and watch the Joy of Painting every day after school and did my own amateur painting alongside it. I wanted to be a painter and when I went to art school, I went into their painters' program and couldn't hack and went into graphic design and teaching instead. I've got nothing but respect for any painter that can make it seem so easy when it really, truly isn't.

Bob Ross was the best and I cried when my mom told me he had died. I was like ten, but I'm sure I would've gotten emotional if I were an adult at the time, too.
