Any Fans of this painter?

I used to love watching his shows on one of the Discovery channels.
I managed to tape a lot of them.
An interesting read in Wikipedia:

The wife and I occasionally caught his shows on PBS. It was always amazing the paintings he created.

Very interesting about his 2 careers. Thanks for sharing.

Hi J.A.,I really enjoyed watching his shows. I didn't know he was in the U.S.A.F. I read a lot of things about him that I never knew.

The calm dude with the afro. I am too young to know who that guy is. I've only seen him parodied a few times.

If you get the chance to see any reruns,they were really cool!

His painting style was unique and he did something original. He demonstrated that a lot more people could enjoy painting by following his techniques.

I didn't even know they still showed reruns of his show.
But I'm more interested in automotive painting.

I used to watch him paint Saturday mornings on PBS. Judging by his demeanor, I never would have thought he was a career military man though.

I took an art appreciation class in college, and it taught us about the history of the medium, as well as the many different advances in painting techniques introduced by various art masters of the time. Bob Ross' method can be added to those ranks, as well, in my opinion.

BTW, some of the great art masters came from Italy, Eddie...course, I reckon you already know that.

Yeah Rusty....I've visited a lot of places where you can see all this fantastic art...The Uffizzi Gallery in Florence is just amazing!



That was what occurred to me! When I used to watch the 'Joy of Painting',I never knew anything about the man. I would never have thought that he was a military man and 20yrs service aswell. Was a real shame that he died so young. I thought his paintings were fantastic...His Mountains were just awsome!
Who else in the history of painting ever painted with a brush,the size of which,you would use to paint your garage door with?

He introduced many,many people to the world of painting,including myself!

Completely forgot about Rusty, really liked the show.

Thinking back, he would put an undercoat on a canvas and then detail it with carefully placed swirls, nicks, stratches and splatters. (I would not want to have parked next to him.)

Bet you he would have been great at removing swirls, scratches and overspray without damaging the underlying paint too. A great detailer had he picked a different path.

Re: Any Fans of this painter?

I remember seeing his show a few times when I was very, very young.

Re: Any Fans of this painter?

Big fan. I would love how it would always appear he was screwing up the painting, like adding a mountain that covered a field or a tree that covered a lake, but in the end it would always looked better.
