    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Bob first got the idea of painting on television from William Alexander by watching he paint. William would do paintings that could take quite a while. Bob made it more commercial by limiting the time to paint to half an hour. William spoke relatively harshly while Bob softened his tone. This began with Bob doing painting workshops.
    • Quotes

      Self - Host, The Joy of Painting: "I don't have the talent, Bob, to do what you're doing." That's baloney. Talent is a pursued interest. In other words, anything you're willing to practice, you can do. And this is no exception.

    Bob Ross Inc should be ashamed.

    This is a classic study of how awful human greed can get. To betray, take advantage and twist the good naturedness of one man and turn it into pure corporate avarice is beyond reproach. The Kowalskis have turned Bobs legacy into such a sad and disturbing reflection of the worst of human nature.
