The Best of the Joy of Painting

Genre: How-to, Art

Premise: This series of episodes culled from the vast library of the late Bob Ross (``The Joy of Painting'') features the soft-spoken host sharing his painting techniques, including his ``wet-on-wet'' technique, and creating some of his best-loved scenes. From a cabin in the majestic mountains or a covered bride to an owl in a country barn or an autumnal forest scene, Ross creates a complete work of art in each episode -- many of which feature his trademark ``happy little clouds.'' His soothing tone and words of encouragement inspire those painting along at home, and entrance those just watching to see him create his nature scenes.
