We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents

The Joy in 'Happy Little Accidents

I started painting as a hobby when I was little. I didn't know I had any talent. I believe talent is just a pursued interest. Anybody can do what I do.

The Power of Pursued Interests

You have to allow the paint to break to make it beautiful.

Embracing Imperfection in Art

If you do too much, it’s going to lose its effectiveness.

The Art of Restraint

The Lifelong Learner

Go out on a limb—that’s where the fruit is.

Finding Success Beyond the Comfort Zone

Not only was Bob Ross an excellent painter, but he also gave us great advice on how to enjoy our daily lives, and for that, I respect him!

Following the success of his first book, The Best of the Joy of Painting, Bob Ross gathered sixty more of his favorite paintings to create More Joy of Painting. Now available in paperback, More Joy of Painting presents each painting in full color, followed by detailed instructions and a series of black-and-white photos to walk you, step-by-step, through the process of creating a Bob Ross original.So, whether you want a landscape of snowcapped mountains or a serene fall day, with More Joy of Painting you can create a beautiful work of art with the same ease and grace as Bob Ross.
