I just saw a full episode of his show. The fuck? I’m not a painter but I’ve seen my mom paint all my life.

This motherfucker just did in 15 minutes what would take her weeks. Like???

And he did it while talking, in clean fucking strokes. So fucking fast. I saw a literal masterpiece being created in fifteen minutes from nothing. From nothing. It was a blank fucking canvas, man.

I knew of Bob Ross, but I’d never actually seen him paint. Goddamn. How did actual artists react to him? Like, how do you not feel just thoroughly outclassed.

All while this mofo is saying how easy all that he’s doing is while I know for a fact how hard it is. Like, is he just gaslighting everyone?

the style he's painting in is partially designed for speed. according to wikipedia he took the style and the show idea from Bill Alexander's The Magic of Oil Painting

William alexander was pretty amazing, screaming about the hammer of thor while aggressively painting is such a mood.

I hadn't heard of this show. It's really interesting seeing the similarities and contrasts between these two. On the one hand, it's exactly the same format. On the other hand, Bill Alexander's delivery is so different from Bob Ross, that it seems almost in a different category.
