That you can't buy them means you have to paint them yourself. THAT'S WHAT HE WANTED When you give your painting to your brother after practising hours and hours it's really something special.
I came across a commenter on one of Bob Ross’ painting videos here on YT talking about his father being a great big fan. And so he practiced painting a Bob Ross painting and once he achieved a nice one, gifted it to his old man. Brilliant story; definitely the right way to go about it!
And in these crazy times wr are reminded of someone so wholesome lol. Btw he used to be a soldier maybe thats why he dislikes people and loves animals.
I watch him on Twitch regularly and he has 2,500+ viewers at all times. I like to think he's standing in front of a painting class of 2,500, all learning his techniques. From this video, seems like he would've loved that.
Even before seeing the netflix doc, don’t know anyone who would keep Bob Ross paintings in a box if they owned any. Maybe not a museum...but a box? How about you give some to his son.
@@maythesciencebewithyou the paintings are already worth millions. They just don't want to lose the copyrights to the images of the paintings, which they likely would If they sold them. And also fakes would be made.
ah but the thing is his son had inherited pretty much everything, they decided to lawyer up and decide that anything bob ross had worked on during the entire time at their company now belonged to them and tore them away from his son
There's something truly poetic about not selling his pieces. The beauty of Bob was not the works themselves, it was how he encouraged everyone to tap into their creative sides. If Bob was alive today, I think he'd say something like "Don't hang my pieces on your wall. Instead, paint your own version of paradise and proudly display that." We live in an era of egotism and cash grabs where people pay hundreds of thousands for an FP Journe watch just so they can "flex" on others for the right to say that they own something that others do not. I think it's beautiful that these people aren't even willing to reduce Bob's legacy to a dollar amount.
It should be mandatory for America TV channels all put his show on between the hours of 6pm to 7pm. Imagine all of America total calm down, relax for one whole hour a day. He was a beautiful person
Sadly, the great artists like Bob Ross aren’t shown the proper respect they deserve when they’re alive, they have to die first for the world to appreciate them. I watched Bob Ross ritualistically as a child and he inspired me to become an artist. There’ll never another Bob Ross.
They sued Bob's son because of his own Surname, they are crazy and the people who work for this company are criminals, they are even stealing money off him still by playing reruns on twitch TV under Bobs name and taking Subscription money.
@@stevenarvizu3602 Netflix made a documentary talking about his life and the legal issues. The kowalskis used legal tricks to own the entire bob ross company. They took advantage of the death of him and his wife resulting in them getting all of the company and his son getting nothing. Bob tried to fight it in court before his death and his son continued trying afterwards but he couldnt get a single bit of the company.
Where is the documentary? According to this, they didn’t sell his paintings, and put him in a museum, respecting his name. The fact that a very rich dude couldn’t hang it on his wall talks very well about them. But I don’t know the full story
It’s a shame they’re selling his paintings. Rich people are probably just gonna buy them and either brag about them or keep them away from the public for safe keepings.
My grandmother met bob ross in a painting class he taught, his pbs program had only started a couple weeks before, but she was hooked after the first episode she watched, for years she would paint along to it every week. I’m pretty sure my grandma loved Bob Ross more than her own children. Thank you bob, for making her the calm, loving person she is today
"Why has Bob become so big over the last few years?" Because the world needs a happy little light. We crave something to smile about, and Bob gives us that.

There is a museum in New Smyrna beach, Fl. At the Bob Ross Art Workshop and Gallery. They hold classes there and do the Bob Ross Certified Instructor training.
If they sold them then galleries and museums would likely buy them and private collectors would likely have it in their own galleries all over the world. People would have a greater opportunity to enjoy them if they sold them.
The paintings will be stored until they are lost in a fire or someone more intelligent will inherit them and sell them for hundreds of millions of dollars and save them from being lost in time.
@@Hvantmiki Bob ross does not want art to have a price, it should be shared and with his video, help people to create their own masterpiece. All his painting in storage is nothing more an happy accident. Plus, some of his painting will be in museum, that is ross really want, to be shared and watch by everyone.
I believe people are gravitating more to him in these last few years because it seems life has become colder. Deep down people want happiness and peace in our world. Awesome person.
Watched this video when it first came out, and thought the Kowalskis were kinda neat. Came back after watching the documentary, and it’s infuriating that these are the people who are carrying on his legacy.

@Wicked Marc you know you can like.. pick who you're selling something to, if a museum wants to buy one or two they would obviously end up in a museum.
God bless Bob's son. I want him to know if he ever reads this that no matter what greedy people did/do, him and his father brought incredible joy to countless people over decades through painting. No one can take that away!
He didn't want his painting to be sold, he want his paintings to be copied by who wants his paintings, because for him, he thinks that everyone IS an ARTIST
Bob didn't want his paintings to be copied, quite the opposite actually - he said countless times during the show that he only shows HOW to paint something not WHAT to paint. So when he says that there should be a happy little tree with a friend... You can make a BIG OL' tree somewhere else on the canvas. It's your world and you get to make it however YOU want, not Bob.
I'm an elementary art teacher. Let me tell you, this man is very beloved by my students. Everytime I put him on at the end of class, even my rowdiest kids just fall silent and stare in awe. Some even watch it like he's a magician and go "HOW DID HE DO THAT??". There's something very calming and reassuring about him.
Yeah, I think he would have disliked if his paintings were sold and then resold as investment pieces like Kincaids. Because even if you sell them once to people who truly love them they'll end up in the commercial art market somehow. Yet I still want one.
No, it isn't what Bob Ross would do! Why are they hoarding them like that? That is not what art is about. These paintings could be auctioned off for charity. Now that is what he would have wanted.
I was born in 1994, but watching him on PBS as a poor kid with a couple of Walmart paints and brushes got me to a level of appreciation when my art could pay for my school books. He gave me a new life.
I met Bob Ross in the early 90's. He came to a little bitty small town restaurant (Redkey, Indiana) with some WIPB 49 PBS station execs. I was a waitress and I waited on him. He was very nice. He had a western omelette, wheat toast, and a medium milk for supper. I asked for his autograph when he left. He took a business card out of his pocket? wallet? i don't remember. He signed it "Happy Painting Bob Ross". I still have it of course. The only famous person I have ever met. He was just as gentle and soft spoken in real life.
About 3 years ago I put on Bob Ross to see how my 3 kids would react (ages 8, 11, 19). 3 min in: *Laughing and mocking* ("look at his hair!") 5 min in: *silence* 10 min in: "Woe!!!" 15 min in: "Wait, what? How did he do that?" 20 min in: "SHHH!!! Don't interrupt!" End of show: "Play another!" ...We watched 5 episodes back-to-back and my daughter took up oil painting.
A positive role model for all, I wish there were still people like him and Fred Rogers for children, and adults to look up to. We still have Big Bird, for now...
I remembering watching the Bob Ross livestream and he said something like “I like making my painting calm and happy. If want death and violence you can just watch the news.” The chat blew up.
I was smiling so much while watching this that I didn’t notice that I was crying so happily. Bob Ross was such a wonderful person. I wish I could have met him.
I watched this 2 years ago & thought something was off because I wondered why Bobs son had no part in this. Funny how the Kawolskis act like theyre so innocent and care about Bob & his paintings by introducing themselves through this as these great friends of Bob but its was all to PROTECT THEIR IMAGE. They didn't even attend his funeral, and tried to keep his death a secret to rake in MILLIONS and still do to this day. This is not what he would have wanted. The Kawolskis robbed the ROSS family, and the JENKINS of so much. Bob would not have wanted this at all and these greedy people are in it for the money. Bobs passion was to teach people and spread art and joy. Seeing them talking so highly of Bob with a smirk and a laugh all while knowing Bob is looking down seeing they went against his word, ruined so many lives and destroyed so much is actually the most dark and twisted thing i've seen in a while. They were never Bobs friend, and there is so much injustice to one of the most iconic and famous painters in recent times. Money cant buy a good soul & heart of gold, thats what Bob had that was so special and its ironic that the family that aggressively fought with evil and greedy intentions to own his name is the opposite of that. I am truly horrified. WATCH THE NEW NETFLIX DOC, STOP SUPPORTING BOB ROSS INC. & START DEMANDING JUSTICE FOR THE ROSS FAMILY AND THE JENKINS.
The COWolskis (yes I call them COW) are thieves. You are absolutely right. Too bad not many know about it and still supporting them through BOB name while BOB son lost everything to the COW and dead broke. It is so sad.
Umm I don’t know I would say maybe give some to something like a children’s hospitals or cancer centers. I think Bob Ross would not have minded give children something beautiful to see while getting treatment or people fighting cancer.
@@2410jrodI got you point don't but I don't feel like it's their responsibility, or the way to preserve his interests: they lose his art and the people who buy the paintings do it for showing off, they don't understand the simplicity of appreciating the painting the way Bob would, displaying his work is sufficient and ideal, but if they had the gesture of supporting other institutions, the correct way is through a museum, because they could donate part of their profits, keep the paintings and divulge his work to everyone
Evelyn Sand I agree but the Kowalski family owns every single painting from the show and all together there are roughly I think 5000 paintings. I don’t think you could make a museum with all of just one artist especially with about 3 paintings per show it would get redundant. It would not hurt to show a little charity. They can make provisions that the art cannot be sold, given, or gain any profit from it. Who knows ?it can inspire children and adults to start painting and get more of his supplies from their business.
Bob was from Florida, the state should open a museum for him. We're already a big tourist hub, so when international travelers come here and knew Bob's work they could also come see it and appreciate it.
Don’t have the creative ability to paint but when I watched Bob Ross paint, he makes you feel like you can do it. It’s this weird power he has over the viewers.
Because he happy about it, in his world there's not mistakes but - happy accidents. Oh so much time we use on bringer yourself down, telling ourself that we cant do a thing, or that its to hard. But when faced with the Bob Ross, out negative voices can't get a word in. And i for one am glad that this world had a Bob Ross, he died way to young i say.
I know. I failed my English exam because I was mentally incapable of coming up with an idea to write about given hours to do so but somehow Bob makes me feel like a creative person for 30 minutes. His charisma (and teaching skills) is overpowering.
That's how most painters live. Live broke (most of the time) Become famous once he dies (in other words : Once supplies of paintings stop, the works become invaluable) Besides, I don't have the feeling he was into that kind of stuff.
My 76 year old sister loves watching his painting show because it’s very relaxing. She has the anxiety depression and all that crap that goes with it. He’s on public TV a couple of times a week. Miss you Bob!
The most impressive Bob Ross episode I saw was his response to a viewer who wrote that because he thought he was colorblind he couldn’t paint. The entire episode was dedicated to this viewer and others who had color blindness and Bob Ross only used whites and grays and blacks if I remember right.
If you want a Bob Ross painting, paint it yourself. That’s the kind of artist he was, he taught you how to paint by letting you follow along with his own originals!
Exactly!! His painting atyle and technique is not only great to learn but a great springboard for you to add to and expand upon. He wanted people to learn that it's possible to paint and even get better than him if you want.
There's something truly poetic about not selling his pieces. The beauty of Bob was not the works themselves, it was how he encouraged everyone to tap into their creative sides. If Bob was alive today, I think he'd say something like "Don't hang my pieces on your wall. Instead, paint your own version of paradise and proudly display that."

I think it's beautiful that these people aren't even willing to reduce Bob's legacy to a dollar amount.
@@AnnAmbler They make their money by selling Bob Ross branded paints and painting equipment globally. I seem to remember Bob didn't take much of a fee from doing the shows, as they acted as great commercials for his art equipment, books and videos.
He loved people, he just didn't like painting them. He also mentioned in one episode of his show he was never much of a painter who liked painting people or flowers because he wasn't good at it.
They could open up a gallery, just for one event and let the money go to a charity providing art supplies for low income children. Or just supporting art programmes. I think that would be in great memory of Bob
Thanks to Bob Ross for teaching me so much more about painting. I watched 3 months of Joy of Painting and learnt SO much. HE was a joy to watch. Thanks again. ❤
I think people are underestimating the value. These things are worth millions, not the collection just one painting. And there is like 30K paintings. Hundreds of millions.
That’s not dedication it’s preserving their corporate assets. They are the Bob Ross brand because they own the Bob Ross estate. And now they’ve just gotten tremendous PR to boost their sales and bolster their product line/brand. They’re probably waiting to be bought out by a bigger corporation. Either that or they’re really just a bunch of naive idiots run by an elderly hoarder.
I read something once that said that the reason why Bob Ross spoke so softly was because once he got out of the military, he said he never wanted to yell ever again.
The nice thing about Bob Ross paintings is he always used oil pants which generally continue to dry as time progresses. So as long as they are somewhat stored in a condition where the paint won't chip easily, they should be alright. I personally feel the Bob Ross Corporation should someday open up a Bob Ross museum showcasing the paintings and potentially the steps in between if they managed to save some unfinished pieces. It wouldn't be selling his pieces, but showing them off which I don't think Bob wouldn't mind. Perhaps if they charge admission, some of the proceeds could go to a charity in his name. However, it would be up to the corporation to figure that out.
The paintings themselves are not as important as the lessons he taught many aspiring artists how to paint. The paintings themselves have many replications of his paintings as they where all educational pieces rather than done to sell to the highest bidder. Unless you are super rich and want to do an investment and tax avoidance scam which most expensive art basically is some are a permanent part of a museum now that is all that is necessary to fulfil his legacy of the physical art and all his footage has been well archived to hopefully be seen by future generations who want to learn about art.
The ending that announced he would be showcased in the Smithsonian and then him being quoted “never in the Smithsonian” brought a tear to my eye. Congratulations Bob! 🎉
I have a question (sort of): I feel like he wouldn't have liked his paintings just sitting around in boxes. Like stated in the video, he just wanted to put a smile on people's faces to make them happy. So why not open a gallery of Bob Ross paintings? The staff could curate which ones would get put up and rotate them out on occasion. People would travel from all over to see these paintings. They wouldn't be for sale, but honestly - I don't think many would mind. Any proceeds (entry fee maybe?), initial funds would go to help keeping the museum/gallery open, and the rest could be donated to veterans since he was one himself. I hate the thought of his paintings just sitting in non-temperature controlled boxes, not looked at, until who knows when.
@I couldn’t think Of anything they could still get stolen where they're at now. At least on display, they would be seen and taken care of better than they are now since a gallery is temp controlled.
@I couldn’t think Of anything You could say that about any famous painting on display in any gallery around the world. They're meant to be enjoyed, not shut away.
With these thousands of paintings and three versions each, they could have a collection for touring museums in the US, and they could still sell a fair few. That way, they could set up a foundation to save all the happy trees and rivers and bushes. 😊
Masha Great idea, better than what I was thinking. I think Bob might have been in favour of auctioning a few off for children’s charities or to promote the arts to school age kids.
I grew up watching Bob Ross on PBS because we didn't have cable, right after my parents split up and we lived with my mom. As an adult it takes me back to a hard time where he provided a distraction and peace. He still provides a sense of comfort for me even now as I go through difficulties in life. Thank you Mr. Bob Ross you're a kindly legend in my book.
When I was a little girl, about 6 -8, and I would watch Bob Ross in the afternoon and take a nap afterwards. His voice was so pleasant, and I had happy little dreams:)
I work as an archivist for my state's museum and the way those paintings are stories made me sick to my stomach. They have been so lucky nothing has happened to them.
im not an art historian but an artist and seeing the way they're stored and the lack of climate control makes me shudder. they're going to be ruined... like at least hang them up!!
I just love that they made a youtube channel and have every single episode of his show on it for everyone to watch often and/or at their leisure. I am extremely grateful.
yes! and he would have had no idea youtube would ever exist and that people would be watching his old programmes until computers no longer exist just because we love him! oh arggg I'm welling up! h'e just so sweet. how can any one not love Bob Ross?
I actually just cried. I have a little Bob Ross car air freshener that just brightens my day every time I see it. My grandma always had bobs show on whenever she could and I am just so thankful that our world was blessed by such a genuine soul full of such happiness and love for others. It hurts my heart to think he’s gone. We miss you bob.
*in Bob Ross voice* You know what? Let's get crazy... what the heck... put a little car air freshener riiight there. Remember... this is your car... it should make you happy. All kidding aside... I have a cute little Bob bobble head that talks and even has a tuny notepad with his paintings that I use as his canvas. I love Bob Ross.
Do not support Bob Ross Inc. They stole his name. They faught him to his death FOR HIS NAME. His own son, who shares his last name Ross, was SUED FOR USING HIS OWN LAST NAME.
He never wanted people to know how good of a painter he was..
He wanted people to know how good of a painter they can BE...

Now I know why I thought it was weird when I first watched this 2 years ago that they keep all of Bob Ross’s paintings boxed up in a random warehouse.
They thought good wouldn't over come evil? This whole little show is all devil talk
Why?
@@nasia3551there’s a documentary out on netflix about bob ross. those old couple are greedy cruel people
Bob Ross is for everybody. Don't sell the painting but let people enjoy it
AKEWSD and that’s exactly what he would have wanted
The Bob Ross Museum, largest in the world.
@@TokenChineseGuy trueee he needs have that
If they sold them then galleries and museums would likely buy them and private collectors would likely have it in their own galleries all over the world. People would have a greater opportunity to enjoy them if they sold them.
If all his paintings were painted thrice, you could keep each one yet sell it twice.
He did not want people to buy paintings but make their own
Make your own masterpiece
The paintings will be stored until they are lost in a fire or someone more intelligent will inherit them and sell them for hundreds of millions of dollars and save them from being lost in time.
@@Hvantmiki They dont need to be saved, they were never the point to begin with.
@@Hvantmiki
Bob ross does not want art to have a price, it should be shared and with his video, help people to create their own masterpiece. All his painting in storage is nothing more an happy accident. Plus, some of his painting will be in museum, that is ross really want, to be shared and watch by everyone.
@@Hvantmiki why does being greedy constitute to a higher intelligence?
I believe people are gravitating more to him in these last few years because it seems life has become colder. Deep down people want happiness and peace in our world. Awesome person.
people really need more happy little trees :.)

Watched this video when it first came out, and thought the Kowalskis were kinda neat. Came back after watching the documentary, and it’s infuriating that these are the people who are carrying on his legacy.
Interesting seeing different perspectives of the same story.
They are crooks and broke 2 families including the ROSS family
Why do you think he's become so big in the last few years?
Coz people need that positive energy more than ever.

I think Bob Ross is getting so big because the world has gotten so complex and tense and Bob Ross represents simplicity, humility, and serenity
... You know what... that pretty much sums it up.
I totally agree
He's pretty much a drillsargeant that said he'd never scream again, I think the world longs for drill seargents that have stoped screaming.
And he's been memed too.

don't sell them - make a Bob Ross museum or gallery so everyone can enjoy them!!

and pay for that by selling us some duplicates :P
@Wicked Marc you know you can like.. pick who you're selling something to, if a museum wants to buy one or two they would obviously end up in a museum.
God bless Bob's son.
I want him to know if he ever reads this that no matter what greedy people did/do, him and his father brought incredible joy to countless people over decades through painting. No one can take that away!
He didn't want his painting to be sold, he want his paintings to be copied by who wants his paintings, because for him, he thinks that everyone IS an ARTIST
This is untrue. He says in his episodes to call your local station if you want to buy one.
Love Bob Ross I would'nt hang one in my garage.
Bob didn't want his paintings to be copied, quite the opposite actually - he said countless times during the show that he only shows HOW to paint something not WHAT to paint. So when he says that there should be a happy little tree with a friend... You can make a BIG OL' tree somewhere else on the canvas. It's your world and you get to make it however YOU want, not Bob.
“Go out, talk to trees. There’s nothing wrong talking to trees, it’s when they talk back that you’re in trouble.” Bob Ross.

I'm an elementary art teacher. Let me tell you, this man is very beloved by my students. Everytime I put him on at the end of class, even my rowdiest kids just fall silent and stare in awe. Some even watch it like he's a magician and go "HOW DID HE DO THAT??". There's something very calming and reassuring about him.
i feel like having them boxed up in a room all disorganized is ......exactly what bob ross would do. so on brand
I would not call that disorganized..
Yeah, I think he would have disliked if his paintings were sold and then resold as investment pieces like Kincaids. Because even if you sell them once to people who truly love them they'll end up in the commercial art market somehow.
Yet I still want one.
I totally agree
No, it isn't what Bob Ross would do! Why are they hoarding them like that? That is not what art is about. These paintings could be auctioned off for charity. Now that is what he would have wanted.
Daniel Davis how do u know what he wants?
I was born in 1994, but watching him on PBS as a poor kid with a couple of Walmart paints and brushes got me to a level of appreciation when my art could pay for my school books. He gave me a new life.

@@torq21 It's a wonderful comment. And true, too.
I met Bob Ross in the early 90's. He came to a little bitty small town restaurant (Redkey, Indiana) with some WIPB 49 PBS station execs. I was a waitress and I waited on him. He was very nice. He had a western omelette, wheat toast, and a medium milk for supper. I asked for his autograph when he left. He took a business card out of his pocket? wallet? i don't remember. He signed it "Happy Painting Bob Ross". I still have it of course. The only famous person I have ever met. He was just as gentle and soft spoken in real life.
Perhaps he was interested in you???
Omg I love this story
That is soooo cool!!! Thank you for sharing your story 🥰
Who says supper?! Lol thank you for sharing, Ms. Hall. Cheers from a Hoosier 🍻
i love how you’ve remembered his order
About 3 years ago I put on Bob Ross to see how my 3 kids would react (ages 8, 11, 19).
3 min in: *Laughing and mocking* ("look at his hair!")
5 min in: *silence*
10 min in: "Woe!!!"
15 min in: "Wait, what? How did he do that?"
20 min in: "SHHH!!! Don't interrupt!"
End of show: "Play another!"
...We watched 5 episodes back-to-back and my daughter took up oil painting.
The "Bob Ross effect"
and then the whole room started clapping
A positive role model for all, I wish there were still people like him and Fred Rogers for children, and adults to look up to. We still have Big Bird, for now...
Yeah, sure....
Que hermoso! sigue cultivando cultura en tu familia 💓

*How hard is it to type on a phone
I watched this 2 years ago & thought something was off because I wondered why Bobs son had no part in this. Funny how the Kawolskis act like theyre so innocent and care about Bob & his paintings by introducing themselves through this as these great friends of Bob but its was all to PROTECT THEIR IMAGE. They didn't even attend his funeral, and tried to keep his death a secret to rake in MILLIONS and still do to this day. This is not what he would have wanted. The Kawolskis robbed the ROSS family, and the JENKINS of so much. Bob would not have wanted this at all and these greedy people are in it for the money. Bobs passion was to teach people and spread art and joy. Seeing them talking so highly of Bob with a smirk and a laugh all while knowing Bob is looking down seeing they went against his word, ruined so many lives and destroyed so much is actually the most dark and twisted thing i've seen in a while. They were never Bobs friend, and there is so much injustice to one of the most iconic and famous painters in recent times. Money cant buy a good soul & heart of gold, thats what Bob had that was so special and its ironic that the family that aggressively fought with evil and greedy intentions to own his name is the opposite of that. I am truly horrified. WATCH THE NEW NETFLIX DOC, STOP SUPPORTING BOB ROSS INC. & START DEMANDING JUSTICE FOR THE ROSS FAMILY AND THE JENKINS.
The COWolskis (yes I call them COW) are thieves. You are absolutely right. Too bad not many know about it and still supporting them through BOB name while BOB son lost everything to the COW and dead broke. It is so sad.
Don’t sell his paintings. Make a Ross Museum so the future can see his beautiful works.
*I AGREE!!*
Umm I don’t know I would say maybe give some to something like a children’s hospitals or cancer centers. I think Bob Ross would not have minded give children something beautiful to see while getting treatment or people fighting cancer.
@@2410jrodI got you point don't but I don't feel like it's their responsibility, or the way to preserve his interests: they lose his art and the people who buy the paintings do it for showing off, they don't understand the simplicity of appreciating the painting the way Bob would, displaying his work is sufficient and ideal, but if they had the gesture of supporting other institutions, the correct way is through a museum, because they could donate part of their profits, keep the paintings and divulge his work to everyone
Evelyn Sand I agree but the Kowalski family owns every single painting from the show and all together there are roughly I think 5000 paintings. I don’t think you could make a museum with all of just one artist especially with about 3 paintings per show it would get redundant. It would not hurt to show a little charity. They can make provisions that the art cannot be sold, given, or gain any profit from it. Who knows ?it can inspire children and adults to start painting and get more of his supplies from their business.
he said he didnt want his paintings to be in museums he said he wanted ours to be
With all the craziness in the news, NYT is still investigating the stories we didn’t know we wanted

Now that I would travel to the US to see because Bob Ross has had a huge effect on my life
@@irishart4793 exactly! And I live in Portugal and I've only visited Spain, once! 😂
Bob was from Florida, the state should open a museum for him. We're already a big tourist hub, so when international travelers come here and knew Bob's work they could also come see it and appreciate it.
The world is a better place because of Bob Ross. I grew up watching you with my dad. I'm not a painter, but my dad is. ❤
Don’t have the creative ability to paint but when I watched Bob Ross paint, he makes you feel like you can do it. It’s this weird power he has over the viewers.
Because he happy about it, in his world there's not mistakes but - happy accidents.
Oh so much time we use on bringer yourself down, telling ourself that we cant do a thing, or that its to hard.
But when faced with the Bob Ross, out negative voices can't get a word in.
And i for one am glad that this world had a Bob Ross, he died way to young i say.
Everyone can paint, and I think Bob Ross would tell you you can paint. With time and practice, you can paint.
True he seems like he's saying "go for it it doesn't matter if it won't look good it's your art and remember no mistakes but happy accidents :)"
I know. I failed my English exam because I was mentally incapable of coming up with an idea to write about given hours to do so but somehow Bob makes me feel like a creative person for 30 minutes. His charisma (and teaching skills) is overpowering.
I didn't think I could either, but I took the plunge and bought the Bob Ross Starter Set. You'd be surprised what you're capable of with Bob.

Live broke (most of the time)
Become famous once he dies (in other words : Once supplies of paintings stop, the works become invaluable)
Besides, I don't have the feeling he was into that kind of stuff.

My 76 year old sister loves watching his painting show because it’s very relaxing. She has the anxiety depression and all that crap that goes with it. He’s on public TV a couple of times a week. Miss you Bob!
The most impressive Bob Ross episode I saw was his response to a viewer who wrote that because he thought he was colorblind he couldn’t paint.
The entire episode was dedicated to this viewer and others who had color blindness and Bob Ross only used whites and grays and blacks if I remember right.
That's very touching. I should watch the show.
It was honestly a super soft and wholesome episode.. I really love him huh
Can you tell which one?

Everyone in the Bob Ross family is nice and even the people that work for him is nice.
ARE nice. SMH.
If you want a Bob Ross painting, paint it yourself. That’s the kind of artist he was, he taught you how to paint by letting you follow along with his own originals!
Lmao none of my attempts looked anything like his. Mine are more like abstract art than realistic landscapes.
ThatGirlJD oof
Exactly!! His painting atyle and technique is not only great to learn but a great springboard for you to add to and expand upon. He wanted people to learn that it's possible to paint and even get better than him if you want.

Maybe they will now.
His paintings are at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. It says it at the end of the video.
They do, The Bob Ross Art Workshop & Gallery in New Smyrna Beach, FL.
yes, I will go.
There's something truly poetic about not selling his pieces. The beauty of Bob was not the works themselves, it was how he encouraged everyone to tap into their creative sides. If Bob was alive today, I think he'd say something like "Don't hang my pieces on your wall. Instead, paint your own version of paradise and proudly display that."
We live in an era of egotism and cash grabs where people pay hundreds of thousands for an FP Journe watch just so they can "flex" on others for the right to say that they own something that others do not. I think it's beautiful that these people aren't even willing to reduce Bob's legacy to a dollar amount.

They could open up a gallery, just for one event and let the money go to a charity providing art supplies for low income children. Or just supporting art programmes. I think that would be in great memory of Bob
YAS PLS
or providing art programs for public schools that may not have proper funding
Yes
The money should go to children who show a clear interest in painting. Sending it to "Low-income" children will do nothing but waste that money!
OMG I was just thinking of that!!
Thanks to Bob Ross for teaching me so much more about painting. I watched 3 months of Joy of Painting and learnt SO much.
HE was a joy to watch. Thanks again. ❤

I think people are underestimating the value. These things are worth millions, not the collection just one painting. And there is like 30K paintings. Hundreds of millions.
That’s not dedication it’s preserving their corporate assets. They are the Bob Ross brand because they own the Bob Ross estate. And now they’ve just gotten tremendous PR to boost their sales and bolster their product line/brand. They’re probably waiting to be bought out by a bigger corporation. Either that or they’re really just a bunch of naive idiots run by an elderly hoarder.

I read something once that said that the reason why Bob Ross spoke so softly was because once he got out of the military, he said he never wanted to yell ever again.
Your profile picture describes it all
*Confused screaming*
These paintings need to be preserved while they are still in ok condition. All. Of. Them.
The nice thing about Bob Ross paintings is he always used oil pants which generally continue to dry as time progresses. So as long as they are somewhat stored in a condition where the paint won't chip easily, they should be alright.
I personally feel the Bob Ross Corporation should someday open up a Bob Ross museum showcasing the paintings and potentially the steps in between if they managed to save some unfinished pieces. It wouldn't be selling his pieces, but showing them off which I don't think Bob wouldn't mind. Perhaps if they charge admission, some of the proceeds could go to a charity in his name. However, it would be up to the corporation to figure that out.
That or scan them
The paintings themselves are not as important as the lessons he taught many aspiring artists how to paint. The paintings themselves have many replications of his paintings as they where all educational pieces rather than done to sell to the highest bidder. Unless you are super rich and want to do an investment and tax avoidance scam which most expensive art basically is some are a permanent part of a museum now that is all that is necessary to fulfil his legacy of the physical art and all his footage has been well archived to hopefully be seen by future generations who want to learn about art.

Noufil Muhammad not funny didn’t laugh
I have a question (sort of): I feel like he wouldn't have liked his paintings just sitting around in boxes. Like stated in the video, he just wanted to put a smile on people's faces to make them happy. So why not open a gallery of Bob Ross paintings? The staff could curate which ones would get put up and rotate them out on occasion. People would travel from all over to see these paintings. They wouldn't be for sale, but honestly - I don't think many would mind. Any proceeds (entry fee maybe?), initial funds would go to help keeping the museum/gallery open, and the rest could be donated to veterans since he was one himself. I hate the thought of his paintings just sitting in non-temperature controlled boxes, not looked at, until who knows when.
@I couldn’t think Of anything they could still get stolen where they're at now. At least on display, they would be seen and taken care of better than they are now since a gallery is temp controlled.
@I couldn’t think Of anything You could say that about any famous painting on display in any gallery around the world. They're meant to be enjoyed, not shut away.
@I couldn’t think Of anything There isn't much point in saving them if no one can ever see them again.

Who thinks they should build a museum for all bob’s art work
omg thats actually a great idea
No
the paintings would likely get stolen
With these thousands of paintings and three versions each, they could have a collection for touring museums in the US, and they could still sell a fair few. That way, they could set up a foundation to save all the happy trees and rivers and bushes. 😊

I actually just cried. I have a little Bob Ross car air freshener that just brightens my day every time I see it. My grandma always had bobs show on whenever she could and I am just so thankful that our world was blessed by such a genuine soul full of such happiness and love for others. It hurts my heart to think he’s gone. We miss you bob.
*in Bob Ross voice* You know what? Let's get crazy... what the heck... put a little car air freshener riiight there. Remember... this is your car... it should make you happy.
All kidding aside... I have a cute little Bob bobble head that talks and even has a tuny notepad with his paintings that I use as his canvas. I love Bob Ross.
Jose Vargas you two are wholesome as heck
No one cares if you cried or not. Probably you cry even when you see a smiling baby
I have bob ross happy tree mints ^_^

Do not support Bob Ross Inc. They stole his name. They faught him to his death FOR HIS NAME. His own son, who shares his last name Ross, was SUED FOR USING HIS OWN LAST NAME.
I just watch the docu 😟 this is so sad
I was waiting for a comment like this. THIS IS T R U E
Just watched it, I came immediately to this video.
Just saw the netflix film about this. And it really breaks my heart.
i bet CIA Walt Kowalski poisoned Bob and his wife. Whats the chances of Bob and his wife both getting cancer at about the same time??
I watched Bob Ross religiously as a teenager...but didn't take up painting til I was 60. Still watch him today!
