The Joy of Painting
The Joy of Painting was a television show in the United States hosted by painter Bob Ross that taught viewers how to paint landscapes in oil. Although Ross could finish a painting in half an hour, the show's goal was not to teach viewers how to "fast paint." Rather, he meant for viewers to acquire specific methods within the time frame of the show. The show premiered on January11,1983, and ran until May17,1994, a year before Ross' death.
