Bob Ross was a national treasure who dedicated his life to helping others see that it is wonderful to make or create for the sake of it.
Anyone I've met who thinks he's a joke have been illustrators who hadn't yet come to terms with the reality that they were craftspeople and not fine-artists. As if there is some dishonor for being a dedicated and skilled craftsperson. Having a passion for and love for a craft at any skill level is a beautiful thing.
- ehurrell 12y agoI live in a country where Bob Ross isn't really known at all, and I spend a lot of my free time doing illustration or painting (http://ultimatehurl.tumblr.com http://ultimatehurl.tumblr.com is where I post stuff, to give an idea). Having relatively recently learned of him and his show I think it's amazing and encouraging. I have no formal training yet frequently have people say to me 'I could never do something like that!', Bob Ross worked to prove that's not true, because it's really not.
