Stressed? Angry? Or just tired? Bob Ross is the answer

[Ravioli]

Most of you probably already know of this guy, but i just have to share him with those who dont. Bob Ross is a incredible painter who did a show called "the joy of life" where he does painting and teaches tips and tricks. Now, what does that have to do with stress etc? Even if you dont care about painting (i personally hate painting myself) this is still great. While he is painting, he talks in a smooth subtle tone, sometimes quite poetic. It is very calming, it works perfect for me as a stress reliever. Just lay back, listen to his voice, watch him paint beautiful art.

Around 1 PM i started watching him...and it was so relaxing that i fell asleep in my chair and i woke up now, 8 hours later... I really recommend this for all of you who just wants to relax. It might sound a lil bit gay...but **** you i dont care its relaxing ffs.

I used to watch art shows on TV for just this reason, they are incredibly calming, I also didn't care about painiting, cheers.

I'd watch this show with my mates during my lunch hour in high school, we'd be sitting around like "What the **** is that?" and then with one brush stroke "HOLY SHIT THAT'S A ****ING TREE WHERE DID THAT COME FROM"

Great shit to watch

Holy shit this guy has had to have done way too many drugs. Oh wow. This would be the coolest thing while high. He does the most amazing little stupid things ever.

"We can add some lavender clouds...you can throw in some happy little things. We will just let them float on out to nothing. OOP theres a big one! that happens some time. Now we will fluff it, lift it, blend it."

"And theres a little wave thats gonna live back here...straight up and down...chikka chikka chikka"

Hahaha I gotta watch this while high.

Aww man this is awesome. I used to watch this show when I was a kid. Sometimes I would watch that One-Stroke Painting show with the lady who paints flowers.

ya I used to watch the show when I was kid ..good speed painter but generic and overly used techniques ..which I guess doesnt matter considering his audience is mostly non-artists

also Ross has been dead for over 10 years ..he finally reached the epitome of calmness/stress-free lifestyle: pushing up daisys

 

[lame-o]

His hairdo ruins it for me.

Nearly.

Joy of Painting, not How To Be A Pro Awesome Original Cutting Edge Painter.

The whole point is the whole unique style in which he does it and describes it.

For some reason I distinctly remember Dalamari posting this thread. Weird.

 

[Vegeta897]

Ravioli, Dalamari, same thing.

 

[Qonfused]

Both are delicious.

Especially cheese raviola.
