Necessary FB edit. Guys... guys... it's ok. Yes, this was reposted by others soon after mine, but IT'S OK. It doesn't matter.
Here are 20 Bob Ross quotes to make life better: http://mentalfloss.com/article/65452/20-bob-ross-quotes-make-life-better
FWIW, my originals were animated too, they just didn't upload from the mobile app properly. I'd welcome tips to make it work!!

Bob Ross is honestly, legitimately one of my heroes.
FlyingTigerRose
Bob still rules, after all these years. What a lovely legacy. :`)
FlossieSkillicorn17
No, and yes. He was a Master Sergeant, the First Sgt. of the Clinic at Eielson Air Force Base.

You guys know BOB Ross was retired MILITARY. Blew my mind

As a colorblind man, I salute this.

Oh yeah thanks bob your right anyone can paint. *throws canvas*

It's very rare for someone to be so color blind that they only see in black and white. It's usually distorted colors
WhoTheFuckisGavin
I think that's why he wasn't using only "grey" colours. I see him using hints of blue and brown during the video.

Even in the parallel universe he still paints a happy little bush
Sacurason
I still fall asleep to his videos sometimes.He has such a soothing voice.
UrsaUrsa
I just watched the video in the post and it relaxed me so much :)
warjikin
That's not a bad idea.
AsABiologistWhoIsNotFunAtParties
This is so low quality that Bob looks just as painted as the canvas.
Moveoutofthedesert
I always upvote Bob Ross - he is part of the artworld that is eternally great

There is no replacing him..

Ooooooooooooh like a Ross.

When I was in high school I won an award for my black and white paintings. I was deeply influenced by J. O'Barr's The Crow.
theIdris
I was upvoted, then downvoted. I am too drunk to handle this information. I was almost at two whole points! Points was really hard to spell.
geckokid
i wanna see!
theIdris
I still have a few at home if you're serious xD but they're literally paintings I did of Eric from The Crow. The comic version.
ninmonkey
I was like what's a huge bottle of sake? Oh, `sake` not `sake`.
theIdris
Did you read my profile... thing? Blurb? xD I didn't think people did that. :3

From Wikipedia-"Ross decided if he ever left the military, he would never scream again."

Repost garbage. Downdoot!!!
Scallamoosh
To be fair, this came across another social media site I follow and I knew Imgur shared my love of Bob Ross, so I came here to share.
deletedeletedelete
Fair enough

Bob Ross is a badass.
Visual87
I once had an art teacher give an assignment where you pick and arrist and one of their pieces, then attempt to make it. 1/
Visual87
I chose Bob Ross, but she told me he wasn't a real artist. So, I bought his supplies at Hobby Lobby and printed pictures to put on my desk.
Visual87
Then I explained to her the next day justhow much of an artist she was twaching at a community college.
yayasisterhood
(was).... but i agree

Sad to say, he probably passed away before you ever saw his tutorials.

I draw in greyscale. It doesn't suck sometimes.

You're far better than I am at it.

I'd say it looks a bit plane, but great job at the shading :)

I'm so glad his estate finally decided to put some of their full episodes up on YouTube.

Watching him paint is so calming.

Just watched the whole thing. If someone doesn't like Bob Ross, I can't be friends with them. The man was a saint. The artistic Mr. Rogers.
legessi
Now I'm envisioning both of them up in heaven, enjoying a beer together.
BoringPrivateQRCode
Slowly, calmly. Maybe even gently playing checkers.
legessi
Bob Ross: King me! Mr Rogers: Absolutely, my friend! *Tink* as glasses come together
esgelrothion
Aww! This whole chain made me smile. Thanks, guys! ^.^
ThisMeansALot
Wow, this is literally the only painting I own from my fathers mother, I never knew this was the source. Rip nana, I miss you
Scallamoosh
Are you saying you own THIS painting?? Show us!!!
ThisMeansALot
I just uploaded it!
ThisMeansALot
My nana painted her rendition and gave it to me (not the original)
giftkartoffel
Stations or auctioned off. A local restaurant has a verified painting. They sell on ebay for $5000+
giftkartoffel
So Bob Ross actually made 3 or 4 of each painting, so they could do close up shots as well as wide shots. Most were given to local PBS 1/

Being colorblind myself yet having a love for drawing, this made me really happy.
SeriousSeamstress
I met a wood carver that was absolutely color blind. He was a great carver and his friend said being color blind help him see depth better.
TheTrekkieWhovian
I'm monochromatic and can confirm.
ZebraCockSandwich
as an artist, you could still use color. you could learn what colors to use when/where and what to mix/not to mix. start monochrome 1/2
ZebraCockSandwich
(one color + b/w) and when you get good at that add another color. have friends look at it finished to gain perspective. just go slow 2/2
Boopbeepbeep
My ex boyfriend is an architect & an amazing artist. He just asks what color he's using ever since he colored a dog green in school as a kid
mydailydoseofantidepressantsisyourbooty
The worst part is that people make fun of you for it. I generally don't care, but it's not fun to get poked fun at all the time.
Vicith
If you are colorblind how can you type?!!one!
LieutenantShinySides
I think it would be cool to see a painting by someone colourblind to see what colours they see.
MrSpindles
Much of art is light and shade, with colour really a secondary factor, in my opinion.
Exhibernis
I prefer to draw in just pencil personally, never tried colors yet
jadedbelle21
Then Bobs work is done.
LeSethX
You could do charcoal drawings, they are my fav. I prefer to work with just lights and shadow
AllegedlyUncleTonton
There is an artist who uses sound to substitute color. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Harbisson
ImTheAvatarAndYouGottaDealWithIt
I can't see red and green and this made me really happy.
Babyshanker
Jokes on you picture is in color anyways

Ever tried the enchroma glasses?
Maguc
Never really heard of it, but seeing the price range is more than i can afford right not.
MrFluffyPantsMan
That's for color deficiency (what I have)
CharlieHoxey
Blind Buddies! Me to! Except I call it red-green colour blindness. I failed all the ishihara tests. :D
mydailydoseofantidepressantsisyourbooty
Color Deficiency=Color Blindness in clinical settings.
afriendofmine
http://enchroma.com/technology/ I'm pleasantly surprised they took the time to explain and not BSing people into magic-like technology talk.
CharlieHoxey
tnx 4 sauce
LeedilLeedilLee
Not everyone has millions of dollars to buy things like them
mordaedil
I think you might be overstating the price just a little bit there. People can afford prescription glasses already.
WhatzitTooya
$400 to $600 might be not a everyday purchase but still in the range of doable, contrary to a ferrari for example...
DanyulD
True, plus it's kind of a pretty worthwhile lifelong investment.
PigeonFace
Well, for some people it's doable I guess! After a very long time. I dunno if it's easy for everyone.

Now I'm sad because he just died. :(
AKittenRidingABurritoThroughSpace
Holy shit, I somehow missed that he died. He was a cool guy. Met him once. Fuck.
