Bob Ross

Who are your favorite artists?

I admire anyone who has artistic talent. However at a push I’d easily rate Bob Ross as my favourite.

Why?

If you were an easily influenced teenager through the eighties, you couldn’t help but see this easygoing extremely pleasant individual on your television screens in the afternoons trying to convince everyone that they had a masterpiece within them.

Bob Ross Golden glow – my first “Masterpiece”

He wasn’t wrong, I’ve had a few lessons using his technique and I’ve produced a personal masterpiece in every session.

The guy had the ability to pull achievements out of people that they didn’t know they had inside them. He taught that art was for everyone not just the gifted few, and I loved that.

Bob Ross Crimson tide my second attempt

Beyond that my favourite artist is probably Constable, as I loved his detailed countryside landscapes.

But Bobs the man for me. And a local artist called Raymond Riley who taught me Bobs techniques, superb humans in my eyes, and wonderful teachers.

Have a lovely day.

One thought on “Bob Ross”

  1. Bob Ross took over from Bill Alexander, who was no mean artist himself. But Ross is the one who gets remembered by everyone, probably due to his quiet speech.
