In case you're just like me - always late to the party because you don't use social media - here's what I just found out about: Right now, Twitch is broadcasting a Bob Ross marathon with all 403 episodes of "The Joy of Painting". It's running 24/7 until next Friday. Enjoy.

I love The Joy of Painting but i won't use Twitch.
Fortunately i can watch it on TV, they broadcast a few episodes on ARD-alpha sometimes. :D

Why won't you use Twitch?

I think I'm being censored. None of my offensive posts are going through.

For a second I thought they'd dug him up.

geeze, 45000 people are watching it. gotta admit, i have fond memories of ole bob, his style was so soothing and relaxing

I dig "physical" painting as it's way more expressive than on a digital screen. If you see real paintings, you can get a sense of the techniques. And needless to say that if you're in a "second state" (like on drugs), it's way more enjoyable to express your creativity....

Well, enough ramblings, here's the official Bob Ross channel with many videos that you should download (coz it's more practical than streaming to learn stuff):

Me too, I forgot how good he really was. I use to love watching his show when I was a kid.

Yes, good memories. However, I must be a minimalist, it seemed like most episodes he created (what I thought) was a complete work and then he'd add something more. It always looked nice when done, but my "less is more" stance was screaming " noooo". Happy mistakes. ;-)

Try this for a laugh -

Thanks for the heads up Bavarian! ++
I decided to have a quick look and ended up watching for about two hours : )

My wife is still watching. :)

Because YouTube is already annoying enough and i don't want to use different video sites for everything.

I've been watching a lot of it. So relaxing. :) For you and everyone else: Watch/Record Twitch Livestream using VLC
So this way you don't have to use the website and the Flash plugin. :)

Making a big deal over little things no?
