Verna Grindstaff: Learn how to paint Bob Ross way
United States on Dec 27, 2023
Pete Xander: Bob Ross's technique, as performed on his shows that ran for years and STILL run years after his death, are absolutely marvelous entertainment. After decades of doing nothing with my latent art talent, I decided to take up oil painting. Before I could even research it, my daughter bought me a beginner easel, set of oil paints, palette, and a small canvas.
However, after my purchase of the Bob Ross book, I researched the styles of oil painting, and the style that reflected EXACTLY what I have pictured in my mind -- the style knows as impasto, simply put, a form of more abstract impressionist painting. Bob Ross's sole style is alla prima -- a wet background with HAVING to paint continuously. Since I'm disabled and never know from hour to hour whether I can sit, hat style, while beautiful, cannot be for me.
Having said that, his book IS very readable, and there are numerous examples of paintings and the progression of adding elements, even taking advantage of what he called "happy mistakes." The style just doesn't fit with me, and I wish that it was the generalist introduction to ALL oil painting styles I'd hoped for.

Sonny G.: I liked the fact that you get a lot of "how to" and "what tools to use for what" in the beginning. This is information you can get from watching Bob Ross videos, but it is nice to have it compactly laid out for you to review.
