Best of the Joy of Painting with Bob Ross: America's Favouite Art Instructor

Excellent book, perfect companion to the fantastic shows! Step by step instructions and pictures and full colour full page pictures of each of the 50 plus paintings covered.

So why did I buy this book.. I came across Bob Ross on YouTube about a year or so ago, at which point I realised that this was the guy I used to watch on tv when I was a kid. As I watched more videos I became mesmerised by his talent and his incredibly relaxing voice. I could happily watch these videos all day. Anyway, I decided that I wanted to do a “deep dive” into Bobs painting technique so I purchased this book as a starting point.There is a lot of information here, including details about the paint and brushes you will need. The book then goes on to step by step tutorials. Unfortunately, the book is in black & white, so I would use it in conjunction with a matching video online. A good value and recommended book.Remember, You don’t make mistakes, just happy little accidents.

Package arrived promptly . The book is as described . The pictures and description of the painting process are clear and encouraging to attempt to try this method . A nice book which I am well pleased with for the cost.

Lovely book than took a little longer than expected to be delivered. My first reaction was of disappointment that there was a lack of colour in the instructions but that was unimportant to me as I read more. I am a very inexperienced artist and now find so must wonderful information included.

I really like this book the main picture is in colour but the little pictures for you to follow are in black and white. So easy to progress to making up your own pictures once you have followed a couple of Bob ross demonstrated illustrations gives you the confidence to have a go and paint

Excellent instructions with easy to follow guides. I think it is one of his best books

He makes it very easy to follow. Love the way you can lay out your paints and brushes before hand. Great book

If you already have an ideea about wet-on-wet painting, this is pure gold. If you don't, it still is a strong helping hand and an invaluable inspiration. For the artists still hidden in regular prople :D
