Have you ever wanted to binge-watch Bob Ross rapidly paint happy trees, clouds and mountains? Well, now you can.

Ross, who died 20 years ago, would have been 73 years old today. To commemorate the soft-spoken painting instructor’s birthday and his legacy, streaming site Twitch.tv will kick off a 403-hour, eight-and-a-half-day marathon of Ross’s PBS show, “The Joy of Painting.”


Twitch is best-known for its live-streaming content, particularly stuff related to videogames. According to Engadget, Twitch, aided by launch sponsor Adobe, is looking to branch out even further with its “Creative” channel to shine a light on users’ artistic talents and projects.

“The Joy of Painting,” which featured the gentle Ross quickly turning around serene nature scenes, aired for 11 years, ending in 1994. The artist, who had been diagnosed with lymphoma a few years earlier, died the next year.

The Twitch marathon starts at 5 p.m. ET today.

On my phone but that YouTube remix song of Bob Ross never fails to cheer me up.

I love this programme. After about two minutes he's got this beautiful painting, and he spends the next twenty just making it better and better. Seeing how the tiniest sliver of paint can give a scene depth, and a few dabs of a brush can create a forest. Every time I watch this programme I want to buy oil paints and just go for it, which is exactly what he wanted!

Bob Ross :wub:

It's very oddly addictive, especially when there's some smooth jazz playing in the background. It's mesmerising.

On a tangental note, there's a Fighting Game Community Bob Ross twitter account that's absolute gold:

One little known fact is he didn't charge any money for the programme, so he basically opted out of being a millionaire. Starving artist indeed.

Was watching an episode the other day and he was talking about his mum not feeling great and being in hospital. Then there was one yesterday where he said she had died.

So many feels watching this, but it's so funny to watch all the memes coming out of this.


RIP Devil :lol:

Then there was one where he was painting a sea scape and was finished but right at the end decided to put in two palm trees and the stream went wild with TREE HYPE!
