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!
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.
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.
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
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...
"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.

As much as I have wanted to own a Bob Ross from the age of about 7, it makes me weirdly content and happy that they've never sold any and that they might end up purely in public hands. Bob Ross didn't paint to show you how well he could paint, he painted to show you how well you could paint.
Me too. I take some comfort in the fact that I won’t be able to own a Bob Ross, not because they sell for millions, but because he wouldn’t let them sell for millions. What an amazing man, and an amazing company
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.
Bob wouln't want you to buy his paintings. He would want you to make your own, so that you can experience the joy for yourself. The Kowalskis may own what he painted. But Bob's true masterpiece is the impact he made on this world. That's something nobody can ever take away.
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
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.
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'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.
pkunkbwok Bob was a sweet and gentle soul, who took delight in the simplicity and quietness of nature that manifested itself thru his painting brush ! - I enjoyed his Saturday afternoon shows back in the day on PBS.
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!
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
@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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:)
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 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!!
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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
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! 🎉
The joy of painting - Season 8, Episode 3 Bob speaks about painting and that you shouldn't do it for the revenue you get out of selling it. So I don't think he would be glad if his paintings were to be sold or auctioned. He'd be happy if it was displayed in a museum
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.

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.
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.
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.
Im from Bulgaria and im 18. I remember him watching on bulgarian TV. He inspired me so much. I wish he was alive. And im so happy that i know him from my childhood and not like the others from 2014 to now. :)
@ Joshua Marshall... sorry Josh but Bob Ross is not a "modern art" icon... what Bob did was not ''modern art" you need to learn art terminology... Bob is an icon, sort of the way that Johnny Carson is an icon
Not true! Not for everyone, anyway. I learned a lot about illustration, composition, and framing just from watching Bob Ross. Twenty years after selling my first illustration for money, I am still learning occasional art tidbits by watching him. But his shows are fun to watch just for himself too. = )
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?
@@pinkytrinky9992 I think there intentions are good but they don't have the proper education or tools to manage it. Ppl don't always recognize him as a legacy and devaluate his art. Plus not being available to collectors are can affect there knowledge and accessibility. Maybe now there. More conscious and do a change. Bob Ross was awesome 💕
Years ago I commented on this video with positive feedback. I take that back. I'll never buy a Bob Ross product knowing that it's these people who are making profit from it. I detest that I ever even considered it. May his memory live, but without the Kowalskis. Thank you, Steve Ross, for bringing everything to light.
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.

If you go to Alaska you have a chance to actually buy some of his paintings he did while stationed there while he was in the Air Force.
Bob wouln't want you to buy his paintings. He would want you to make your own, so that you can experience the joy for yourself.
The Kowalskis may own what he painted. But Bob's true masterpiece is the impact he made on this world. That's something nobody can ever take away.

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

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.
You are a peer of Bob Ross's by just a few short months.😊

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.
It's because he's sincere and calm. When you encounter someone like that, you realize how much you miss having that in your life.

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.

Bob Ross is for everybody. Don't sell the painting but let people enjoy it

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.
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
plz open a museum with all his paintings I would love love to see an original in person
ana me to! The originals are 100x better than the TV show paintings, and those are impressive. I can’t imagine!
Agreed, I'd love to see that
The Smithsonian should do a limited run of his paintings, maybe from his first season.
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.
No, it would get robbed so fast...

@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.
I feel like people are drawn to Bob Ross because he is like a light at the end of a very dark tunnel.
Yes. People like him because he‘s a symbol for things that are missing today: calmness, optimism and creativity.
Drawn to him? (Good pun)
He's what you see when you die, and he takes you the untouched woods he saw in his holy vision, PRAYS THE LORD ALL MIGHTY BOB ROSS

He's literally Jesus with an afro
He inspires and brings positivity to so many people and sadly most artist are mostly appreciated after they have left this earth
"Yeah we have thousands of paintings worth millions of dollars"
"And we never plan to sell them! Ever!"
True dedication shows I guess.
@Stimpy&Ren
Not even the most hardcore arsonists will target BOB ROSS's Work, I refuse to believe there are people that dislike him.
Needs to be publicly displayed
The money would be publicly funded in about 15 minutes I miss this one like a brother
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 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.
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 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
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.
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. ❤

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.
@hhhk20 Who hurt you?
I'm an artist but painting isn't my medium but I'm going to give it a go.
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
Who’s here after watching the new documentary on Netflix? This gives me a new perspective…
Bob's ability to radiate peace will transcend time. His twitch channel never fails to restore my faith in humanity

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.
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:)

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 watched Bob Ross religiously as a teenager...but didn't take up painting til I was 60. Still watch him today!
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.

I’d be fascinated to see all the other ways they make money though. It was reported to be a $15 million business back in 1991.
@@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.

Replete Replete Thus my reply; the business is doing quite well without selling the paintings!
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

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!

Agree
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.
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. 😊
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.
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.

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.
Didn’t know they had a Bob Ross channel. Thanks for letting me know. I am off now to find it.
I watch him on Twitch. They play "live" every weekend. Extras on holidays. It's friday so he's live now
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?
BRI are criminals. Joan you need to give these paintings back to the rightfully heir of his work. His Son!
that office has such nice energy it makes me so happy and soft
It's too good to be true.. I think they're hiding something.. something evil. i can feel it.
Black Bird Noodle they probably aren’t you’re just an edgy teenager that think nothing can seem innocent
Butter Biscuit i believe that's a joke
Dennis Thiha lets be honest here they were probably serious
@@pinkytrinky9992 I think there intentions are good but they don't have the proper education or tools to manage it. Ppl don't always recognize him as a legacy and devaluate his art. Plus not being available to collectors are can affect there knowledge and accessibility. Maybe now there. More conscious and do a change. Bob Ross was awesome 💕
RUclips recommendations finally found a good one
my thought exactly
lol yep
Yee
Joey Martinez yes!!!

Bob Ross is like that weird uncle that everyone wanted.

The ACTUALLY Cool Uncle, that's NEVER gross & creepy....💓
Too bad, I got the weird one not allowed 1,000 feet from schools
La neta no ! 🤣

Years ago I commented on this video with positive feedback. I take that back. I'll never buy a Bob Ross product knowing that it's these people who are making profit from it. I detest that I ever even considered it.
May his memory live, but without the Kowalskis. Thank you, Steve Ross, for bringing everything to light.
