Why wasn't Bob Ross ever interested in any serious painting techniques?

>> No.2937335

He wanted to actually enjoy painting.

painting into couch is a serious painting technique, although it's historically used for fresco.

questioning why he painted casually isn't questioning his legitimacy, dipshit

>> No.2937375

one time he was doing figures in a class and his teacher came up to him and said, bob i dont want to hurt your feelings or anything but maybe figure drawing isnt for you maybe you should stick to your trees bushes and landscapes. and thats what he did he said.
check out his painting the camp fire to see a Bob Ross figure. also he wanted a very fast method.

He wasn't a sophisticated artist, he just wanted to show to the world the therapeutic side of painting to unsophisticated and unpretentious people like him.
His show was directed at teenagers, soccer moms, elderly bored people, wageslaves with no prospects. You could criticize him for dumbing down the art of painting, but you should also admit that he was never pompous about it: he was just trying to teach you a hobby which, given a basic level of proficiency, could mend and soothe your soul and make you a calmer, happier and more insightful person.

he learned from some german american guy and decided that's all he needed to know and he "knows what he likes"
