Learn to Paint Just Like Bob Ross!

With news of the $10 million listing of his “A Walk in the Woods” (the first painting created for his television program The Joy of Painting), Bob Ross is back in the news. Not that he’s ever truly gone away.

The painter, tv host, and pop culture icon has remained popular for decades, with new generations always discovering his kind nature, good humor, and quickly-created-but-realistic artwork.

For those who can’t spare millions to purchase a painting, but who would like to continue celebrating Ross in their own way, The Quarto Group has books and crafting kits for painters and non-painters alike!

Young artists can learn to paint just like Bob Ross

with the simple-to-follow lessons in Painting with Bob Ross for Kids (publishing October 31, 2023)! In the officially licensed book, children discover how to create stunning natural landscapes such as “Happy Trees Along a Cabin Path,” “Surfing at Sunset,” and “Scenic Snowy Summit,” alongside a cartoon Bob Ross who encourages them at every step. The fun illustrations, easy instructions, and a lighthearted “happy accidents” approach make this subject matter enjoyable for young painters, regardless of skill level.

Adults can get in on the action too.

Painting with Bob Ross—with artwork created by Bob Ross himself using his specially formulated oil paints, brushes, basecoats, and other tools—introduces artists and fans to the basics of painting landscapes. Everyone will enjoy Painting with Bob Ross, as his “happy accidents” approach makes this challenging subject matter enjoyable for all ages, regardless of skill level and materials used.

Painting with Bob Ross includes sixteen painting projects,

each with a complete list of tools and materials needed and instructions for preparing the canvas. Jump into painting with step one, then follow the full-color painting progressions and clearly written instructions until you’ve reached the final step—and your new, joyful work of art! This is the only Bob Ross book with all-color images.

And for those who are more comfortable with a needle and thread than a paintbrush and oils, there’s Bob Ross Cross Stitch! This all-in-one kit honors the beloved artist’s legacy with twelve patterns featuring Bob Ross’s famous quotes and the materials needed to make two of the designs (including cross stitch fabric, a needle, embroidery floss, an embroidery hoop, and 48-page instruction book.).

These products are available in stores and online, including Amazon, Bookshop, and Quarto.com.

Remember, as Bob Ross said, “All you need is the desire to make beautiful things happen.”
