Bob Ross: The Joy of Painting Hardcover – Illustrated, October 10, 2017

A little of Ross’s history and a little of teachable techniques, add his beautiful paintings and it equals a beautiful gift 🎁 for Ross fans.

Some people may think that the late Bob Ross was a "one trick pony". In my opinion they are wrong becauseBob Ross knew how to paint. Behind his folksy manner there was an artist who knew how to construct a painting.I have been putting a brush to canvas for years Watching Bob Ross I see & hear some good solid advice on how to paint. Bob Ross was no Rembrandt ,{ quite frankly who is}, but he was no slap dash half wit.I guess one can learn to paint like Bob Ross but it is better to take what you need from him and apply it to your own work. Perhaps his wide spread popularity causes some to dismiss his art. I found this book to a very goodintroduction to the Bob Ross painting technique. The book has very good reproductions that can be studied.

I just spent the most enjoyable two hours exploring this book from cover to cover. The book is top quality throughout filled with some paintings I had seen before and have even attempted to paint. Many others I’d never seen and I’m excited to give them a try with my own brushes. There are several paintings that include play by play instructions, and every so often there is a page with a “Bobism” quote. I found myself chuckling with every one.What a lovely man with the Masters touch exuded in his so peaceful and beautiful art, and through his wisdom of life expressed so eloquently in just a few words. Don’t pass this one up, it’s a gem.

I wanted this book to get instructions for some of Bob Ross’s paintings, and this book did not disappoint. It is beautiful and includes a huge variety of his paintings. Not all include instructions, but enough do to satisfy me. The book is in wonderful condition, so I am very pleased with this seller! I would not hesitate to buy more from them in the future.

I’m giving this 4 stars because the book itself is really great, but only using it as a conversation piece for a bob Ross lover. But in the box, not sure if that is a flea or a tick (in the picture) but it looked like it had its head buried between the pages. Very unsettling to know bugs are being shipped to my house.

This is a wonderful book for any fan of Bob Ross. It is wonderful just to leaf through and get ideas for your own paintings. I have spent many hours just looking through this book - I just LOVE it!
