...ever seen a deciduous tree? Does he think they're too sad to paint? Or can't he do them?

I would never badmouth His Bobness, the man was amazing. I was just a wee bit deflated when I found out about the hair. Shocked I was, shocked.

There’s a lot of love for Bob in this household too. My sons (teen and 12yo) watch his videos independently because they like them so much.

ghostmouse · 12/05/2020 22:24

I love Bob ❤

OMG I can't believe there are so many Bob Ross fans on here! Has anyone actually ever tried to recreate one of his paintings? I dare not even try, the disappointment would just be too much!

Im sure I have seen him paint non pine trees before though?

AwrightDoreenTakeAFuckinDayOff · 12/05/2020 22:39

He did it on yesterday’s episode joe - the one where he let his little rescue robin free. With the muncy bird lady.

Naked happy tree Smile

There is a warehouse somewhere with all his paintings. He made 3 of each, practice, show and one he spent more time on and perfected.

ICouldHaveBeenAContender · 12/05/2020 22:46

Stumbled across him on some weird channel in Belgium once. Absolutely mesmerising!

Seems after 10 years in the army he decided he'd never raise his voice again.

SanFranBear · 12/05/2020 22:49

JoeExotic - DD (10) and I did a paint-a-long with him last week... here are out campfires. They are shite compared to his but my goodness, I just know he'd be like them.. I honestly love that man!

(We did use totally the wrong paints so I actually ordered some oil paints for our next attempts!)

Love, love, love Bob Ross! I've always been a night owl and used to watch him at 3am as a teenager, then again when DD was tiny and I was up in the middle of the night. DD is now 11 and loves to watch him on YouTube funnily enough Smile I'm sure I've seen him do naked trees btw.

boatyardblues · 12/05/2020 22:54

I might suggest a paint along for DS2. He’s so fed up at the moment, but Bob would mellow him out.

Hidingtonothing · 12/05/2020 22:57

Just seen your post AragonsGirl, DD has her eye on two different Bob Ross board games so you'll have to let me know if your one is any good if you get round to playing Grin

SanFranBear · 12/05/2020 23:10

Do it, Boatyard... we had to stop and start a fair bit and, as mentioned, had totally the wrong paints, but it was so soothing that it didn't matter and his turn of phrases had us belly laughing which is something we had been missing for a while.

MotheringShites · 12/05/2020 23:13

We are a family of Bob Ross fans! My three DC all use his videos to get to sleep. DD has a soft toy of him 😂

MotheringShites · 12/05/2020 23:16

And I know somebody else who owns this beauty...

Love Bob Ross, but I must admit I find this funny.........

BournvilleGreen · 12/05/2020 23:59

My DD has done a number of paint alongs with Bob... they're actually quite good! She has then in her room.

tiredvommachine · 13/05/2020 08:51

@MotheringShites that is amazing

BettyUnderswoob · 13/05/2020 09:14

I’m pretty sure (well actually not all that sure) that these are deciduous... But certainly they’re a bit Bob Ross rare!

Ooh I love Bob Ross!

A young Bob.

I do not wish to be sullying the memory of Bob, but you just would wouldn’t you?

LoseLooseLucy · 13/05/2020 09:46

Absolutely 👍😬

Bertoldbrecht · 13/05/2020 10:03

Ds 12 has been watching bob on youtube too and encouraged me to watch it the other day. His voice is so mellifulous - is that the right word Grin.

Very different from Painting with Nancy which I recall from my childhood !

@AwrightDoreenTakeAFuckinDayOff

Repeatedly 😇

F0RESTGRUMP · 13/05/2020 13:34

Ooh yes ASMR a go-go!

Didn’t he used to hit his wife though? I’m sure I read that somewhere.

fairycrossthemersey · 13/05/2020 13:44

There was a programme about him on R4 this morning
I had never heard of him (sorry!) until reading this thread, and then the programme came on!
