Bob Ross, much like Mr. Rogers, was an absolute gift to humanity. I grew up watching the Joy of Painting, and am delighted that Ross's talent and heart have found a new audience.
Same. He even inspired me to take up painting a few years ago. This is one I did following Bob’s video: instagram.com/p/BmyNN-TD3Cx/?igshid=islzdttg4uko
Bob Ross inspired me to be an artist. I told my art teachers this and most of them scoffed at me. I'm just thinking, "I wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for him, show the man some respect."
In theirs defense.. we just NOW get away with snobbery attitude and respect for the quality of the work and not what the work stand for is comes to the work itself.. but yeah I agree they should have respect for that man.. some people finds art in Picasso another in Carl Barks .. or both no reason to not be respectful ..

Chris Wyatt To hell with those teachers! Shows how uneducated they are.
My friends thought I was strange because I would rush home after school to watch Bob Ross, I even took art classes because of him. I never really got the hang of painting but I did get pretty good at drawing realistic portraits and animals and due to my love of comics I could draw superheros, monsters, mythical creatures, skulls and whatnot, I even designed tattoos for a few people. Nowadays I draw things to relax and sometimes imagine Bob narrating my art in progress in my head. My aunt can paint landscapes like Bob, she's currently working on one of the Grand Canyon.
Ross was one of those guys that other guys should aspire to be like in his love and compassion. I always wondered if Ross and Fred Rogers hung out together as they'd just make awesome buddies.
Ross and Rogers first met while they were both serving in Vietnam. Ross was attached to the Mobile Guerrilla Force(Green Berets), around the time that Rogers was doing his hitch with The SEALs, and working with Phoenix Program. One has to wonder if they're public personas weren't some form of atonement for their days as blood drenched warriors in the jungles of Southeast Asia
Thank You Minty, The world needs a little More Bob Ross these day's, the only other person I can think of to do a video on in the same vein would be Jim Henson
I always loved watching his show on PBS as a child...it was magical to me how everything started out as a blur and then just seemed to effortlessly appear as he went along
I introduced my kids to the Joy of Painting a month ago as it’s on regularly on BBC in the UK and I was winding the kids up when I said oh no he’s made a disaster of his painting and of course it always turned out to be amazing. He does make your problems and issues go away for half an hour! Legend!
PBS was what kids were able to watch during the week. If not, you'd have to settle for Saturday morning cartoons and video tapes for entertainment. Now with DirecTV and Dish showing 24 hour cartoons on various channels, things changed. Hell, I didn't even know I was being educated as a kid with PBS shows until I was older.
Are you crazy my good sir/ ma’am.. people would cry and call theirs Mothers too tell them how much they love them.. joking aside yeah that’s would be a good idea to an episode..

Sadly there was another scandal, Bob Ross's manager drivr a huge wedge between him and his son who wanted to continue The Joy of Painting, and not least swindled his family of the royalties of his product line. And in the latter seasons Bob started wearing a gold medallion, and less button up shirt was after his wife died due to the manger interference.
Ohh Minty I really needed this post today! I started watching Bob Ross with my late father back in 1986. That was the best summer of my life! I've been painting ever since. Thanks for the relaxation
We can learn so much from Bob Ross & I don’t mean just how to paint. He was an all around mostly a really great guy IRL. I knew 30+ years ago I was watching something really amazing happening not just a guy with a fro & a canvas.
Back in the day of the connected 30 channel tv switcher.. Any time scrolling through, if Bob Ross was on the scrolling stopped therrreeee.. It’s great how the apps brought him back!
Thanks Minty!!! Absolutely love Bob Ross!! Last year I got my son a life size cut out of him. I placed it inside the door without him knowing and the look on his face when bob was standing there was priceless. Anyway I watched the joy of painting all the time and it’s a timeless show that will go on for years in re runs.
Not ashamed to say I cried during this episode thinking about my childhood attachment to Bob Ross. He was not only an artist, but a babysitter for a bunch of us 80s kids and a great dude. The fact he was talented, well liked and revered while not even being paid directly for what he's most well known for is amazing.
Bob Ross was stationed in Fairbanks, AK. This is where a lot of his inspiration of painting came from, as he fell in love with the Alaskan mountains and started to paint them.
I grown up with Bob Ross, he was a little bit of humanity to a sad day. A truly missed man but if there's a heaven Bob is there looking down and smiling at our memes
Excellent video Minty!! I remember watching Bob Ross videos always so relaxing…… Bob Ross always reminded me of Mr. Rogers 2 very mild speaking gentle souls … we need more people in the world like them… thank you again Minty
Great video Minty, I remember as a kid back in the late 80’s and early 90’s watching some Bob Ross shows on the tele. I always enjoyed Bob Ross calm demeanor and awesome paintings, PBS had great shows I loved watching as a kid The Joy of Painting was one of my favorites. R.I.P Bob Ross
I used to be soothed into afternoon naps from his calm, gentle voice. I was always amazed about how he could create a snow capped mountain with one swipe of the knife. Loved that show.
I love watching Minty's episodes, and this one is now my favorite. I think branching out to include other things, from TV shows to music to personalities, would only make Minty's channel even better. I grew up watching Bob Ross with my dad and really enjoying his presentation. I don't paint, but I majored in art history and work as a digital artist. Bob Ross is one of the people who played a part in my love of art.
My wife and I recently rediscovered the joy of Bob Ross, and watch his shows from time to time as a way of lifting our spirits and reminding us of how much good there is in the world. Thank you for creating this wonderful tribute to his life and his legacy.
I remember as a kid The Joy of Painting coming on at the same time as TMNT cartoon. I wore out that channel back button to dust. My favorite memories of TV. Bob Ross is more bad ass than my favorite cartoon, comic, toy, movie,...
Thank you for this! He was a wonderful guy and so very talented. I remember catching his show on TV and yelling to the family, "Peaceful is on!" As my late mother also painted, it was always fun to watch and this brought back beautiful memories of sharing Bob Ross' show together. Thanks again Minty!
The man was simply a legend...a real shame he never made a dime off of his talented work. Imagine how much his donated paintings are worth now and he just gave them away to various PBS stations.
I actually took up painting a few years ago after rediscovering Bob Ross. Here’s one I did following one of his videos: instagram.com/p/BmyNN-TD3Cx/?igshid=islzdttg4uko
Thanks for the wonderful video Minty. I'm a classically trained artist and started watching Bob Ross when I was six back in the eighties. He has always been one of my greatest inspirations as an artist and he and his work will never be forgotten.
Thanks for posting this Minty. Back when Bob died, I learned that my brother in law was related to Bob because he and my sister went to his funeral. I think they were second cousins or something like that.
i adored bob ross...i used to watch him on pbs when i was younger....and was sooo happy when they had him on netflix....i still enjoy watching him.... :)
Even my little girl watches his show and tries to follow along in her own way. BTW if they ever did a movie on his life I could totally see Bryan Cranston playing Bob Ross
Waking up through my childhood on the weekends seeing Bob Ross's show in the mourning. I remember being an active kid. But I would sit through his show. In awe... How he could make a painting so well made so quickly. R.I.P. Bob Ross. Good episode Minty.
Loved his show.... The cartoon Doug spoofed him... I even have a Keychain with sayings from the show.... As song as his show runs.. He will never die...
Great video Minty. Here in the States with all the political and social hate going on, we need Bob Ross more than ever. I think he was angel on earth taken from us far too soon .
Well said Minty. It's important to recognize the value of kindness, a gentle heart, & the love of nature; Let's appreciate a man who generously shared his creative spirit and encouraged it in others.
Minty, this was, in my opinion, THE best video you ever made. A worthy tribute that should even move people who didn't grow up watching Mr Ross making the viewer forget everything else for 30 minutes. Wonderfully written and executed. I hope you'll find someone else worthy to honor with your talent. Bravo and thank you for showing us the MAN beneath the perm.
I thought you only made movie reviews, well more like behind-the-scenes content on movies. I never expected a video like this. Kind of like a documentary on a person. I remember there were several times where twitch live streamed Bob Ross with long marathons
One of my favorite videos that you've done. I grew up watching Bob Ross when I was a kid in the 80s. I was sad to hear in 1995 that he'd passed away. I'd always loved art and wanted to take up oil painting, but growing up, my parents had other plans for me and my future (they were a bit over protective and controlling of me). Around 2008, I saw that reruns of the show (renamed "Best of the Joy of Painting") were being aired on my local PBS station and started watching. It was like getting reunited with an old friend. In 2010, I went through a bit of a mid-life crisis, but rather than do anything reckless, I looked into what I needed, and by the spring of 2011, I started painting myself. While I haven't sold any of my work yet, it is relaxing to either paint, sketch out an idea for a new painting, or just sit back and relax while watching Bob Ross paint (I also have all of his shows and instructional videos on DVD as well as all of his books). In 2019, I got the board game "Bob Ross: The Art of Chill" (th-cam.com/video/pTebfqb9vTc/w-d-xo.html), and this past summer, I got the Bob Ross edition of Monopoly.
The only real scandal around Bob Ross is that all of his paintings are kept in an office randomly piled and stacked all over the place, and nobody is allowed to look at them and nobody can buy them.
Bob Ross is back on tv in the UK, we have become addicted to it. it's a real joy to watch him paint and create something amazing from a few strokes of a brush.
The world needs people like Bob Ross. He was so kind and was more human than most.
I agree, we would be in a happy world like his Paintings, rest in peace Bob Ross.
Steve Ross is not as good of a painter anymore, but he was similar to his father until 1995
Bob had the voice of a gentle soul and he had a heart of pure gold.
the world today doesn't deserve Bob Ross but ironically needs him more than ever.
What are you talking about? The world will always need good people, so can we stop thinking the world is ending because of Donald Trump?
Amen 🙏
Beautifully put, could not agreed more!
@Darth Hatchet nobody did. Trumps cult don't need a reason to triggered though.
@Darth Hatchet what are you talking about? Oh well grammar Nazis do what they do, and I thought the other guy was triggered! Lol
My dad would turn Bob Ross on every Saturday. It was a family experience every weekend.
Your dad turned Bob Ross 'on' every Saturday and this was a family experience...now I know why there is one down vote
Bob Ross, much like Mr. Rogers, was an absolute gift to humanity. I grew up watching the Joy of Painting, and am delighted that Ross's talent and heart have found a new audience.
Still watching Bob at 40 years old. Can't wait for minty to do Reading Rainbow

So humble Minty. Can you do an episode on Jeopardy in honor of Alex Trebek? His final episode airs on Christmas day.
Good call!
Yessss
Yes, I'd like more of these tributes, they'd be lovely.
i always thought they'd have to pry the mic and answer cards from his hands before they stuck him in a casket. 😀
@@BennyLlama39 I hope they buried him with them.
This was great minty. Bob was the Julia Childs of paint.

Here's a fun fact for ya, Julia Childs was an OSS agent in China during WW2.
How people treat animals is a great indicator of a someone's personality...
I always loved watching his show on PBS as a child...it was magical to me how everything started out as a blur and then just seemed to effortlessly appear as he went along

That is quite a talent to knock out a nice looking painting in under 30 minutes. :)

Yeah perhaps because of he lost part of his finger
Well said Minty. It's important to recognize the value of kindness, a gentle heart, & the love of nature; Let's appreciate a man who generously shared his creative spirit and encouraged it in others.

I miss seeing him on TV so much. He was so positive and enjoyable to be around thru television rest in peace Bob🙏
Bob Ross is back on tv in the UK, we have become addicted to it. it's a real joy to watch him paint and create something amazing from a few strokes of a brush.
