This is all I was able to find (in a couple of mins) where he used yellow ochre to make white snow
fuck everything about this video. banned outside YouTube, regionally banned on YouTube.
How did you find it? Curious as to the method.
I loaded the website youtube.com, and then once the page loads if you look near the top there's a text box labelled "search". into that text box I put "bob ross yellow ochre mountains", and clicked the "search" button. Notice that the page changes from the home page to the search results. I then scrolled through the search results, clicking on the top few videos and skipping to the mountain section in each video to check if it's relevant. I can use the video preview feature on the timeline by hovering my cursor over a section of the video to get a low resolution preview of what part of the painting he's up to. Once I found the correct video, I focussed into the url bar in my web browser by pressing cmd-L, then pressed cmd-A and cmd-C to copy the url, and then in Lemmy I was able to paste that same url by using the cmd-V shortcut.
I'm glad Bob Ross is still popular. He was always my go-to in the early morning after a night of partying, and his skills were even more impressive when I was sitting on the couch, dazed and confused, with the loot from the fridge spread out in front of me.
Bob Ross was always on at 2:00 on PBS, which lined up perfectly for me finishing college classes and getting home. It was always such a nice way to de-stress after school.
Years later when I would babysit my 2 year old nephew, I found that it was actually a good show for kids to watch and calm down. Something about his whole demeanor is just magical.
He’s one of the original ASMR masters.
I used to live watching The Woodright’s Shop saturdays on PBS too. Amazing skill and sharp ass chisels are fun to watch.
When he cleans his brushes? Ecstasy.
I'd say Bob Ross is always a good choice – in any context and for all age groups.
agreed! so much humble skill on display and trying to impart that upon the world, instead of hiding it and charging out the ass
Could you imagine a modern day Bob Ross? "And now we're going to mix a little Titanium White with some Phthalo Green - and while we're doing that, don't forget to like and subscribe."
To be fair, there's a bunch of channels on YT where people just quietly and calmly do something they're good at. But you don't really see them.
Today we’re going to make a beautiful landscape together, but before we put brush to canvas, I’ve got to tell you about something very important…
Today’s painting is sponsored by Canson. Canson paper is smooth, durable, and perfect for all your happy accidents.
Isn’t that just wonderful? Click the link down in the description, or use my promo code HAPPYTREES15 at checkout to save on your next purchase and support the channel.
I would download a bunch a watch them when I would fly. Makes the stress of traveling a lot easier.
Ah, yes. The ruined - saved cycle.
Honestly the meta on the Bob Ross twitch stream is almost intrinsic to the original material for me now
I love the hype when he beats the devil out of it
I can no longer hear alizarin crimson without thinking of the silly lizard.
There are no mistakes, only happy accidents.
I just got the joke! Took me quite a while 😂
Thank you for letting me know about this show ! Thank you!
Oh man it’s so good.
