The Best of Joy of Painting: Special Edition • WXXI-TV

WXXI TV

Painter Bob Ross works on a painting filled with tress and white capped mountains

Rediscover Bob Ross’s serene, nurturing disposition which can serve as therapy for the weary, and reexperience his respect for nature and wildlife which have helped heighten environmental awareness.

The Best of Joy of Painting: Special Edition airs Sunday, September 8 at 1 p.m. on WXXI-TV

This special highlights the soft-spoken Ross as he completes his beautiful “Home in the Valley” painting and offers a look at his wet-on-wet painting technique. It also explores the varied and sometimes unlikely ways that Bob’s image, voice and catchphrases have become a part of the pop culture landscape.

If you enjoy this program consider WXXI’s Bob Ross immersive painting event, where at a pledge of support at the $150 level, you can enjoy a a three-hour online painting class with Nicholas Hankins, Bob Ross Certified Instructor and host of The Joy of Painting with Nicholas Hankins: Bob Ross’ Unfinished Season (and your own painting kit)!

Painter Nicholas Hanskins stands before a Black background. Next to him a photo Bob Ross and part of one of Bob's paintings of Evergreen trees. Copy reads: Paint Like Bob Ross with Nicholas Hankins October 29th at 8pm.
