Bob Ross Research Paper

Have you ever watched someone who for some mysterious reason puts you in the most relaxed and peaceful mood ever ? Maybe you know such a person in real life or perhaps such a person you may not know personally ,but you see him or her on TV or the movies. Well, that's my case. Although it would be very nice to actually have a person like that in my life (although I do have some friend and family members who do put me to ease), I used to watch a certain celebrity on TV years ago who actually had the power to give me an ultra-relaxed attitude. In fact, he was a very good painter and artist as well, and I'll always be a fan of his work AND calming demeanor.

Some of you may have heard of him. His name was Bob Ross, and he had a painting

For example, he had this technique for painting mountains. To paint a mountain, Bob would usually use a knife-like tool to "outline" and color the mountains in usually a brown color. He would then use a mixture of a tannish-white color, and use it to paint a second coating on the mountain's outline. The result would look like a real mountain, with shadows and a "Frosted" white look. Another example was Bob's technique for lakes and other bodies of water. He'd first paint the lake and then put little touches on the lake such as reflections and little ripples. Of course, when I did it, it was a challenge at first. Bob made it seem so easy, and how the heck did he do it in 30 minutes ?!

Sadly, Bob Ross passed away at the age of 52 on July 4, 1995.
But in my eyes, Bob Ross's legacy will never die, and his work will always be a part of my life and happiness. I owe him a lot of gratitude for how he inspired my life, and the calm and ease he has always given me. If I ever had the chance to meet Bob in person, I'd tell him something that he himself always said at the end of his shows. I'd say "Thank you Bob, and God Bless".
