JMG WET PAINT STUDIO

Bob Ross (1942-1995)
At the age of 18, Bob was in the Air Force, and stationed in Anchorage, Alaska, where he took his first oil painting classes. What started as a hobby was soon to become a lifelong obsession. During the next 20 years, Bob painted to supplement his military income and continued to study art at colleges and universities across the country. He also studied privately with numerous artist whom he greatly admired. It was in the mid 70's when Bob met and studied with Bill Alexander who had developed the modern day technique for applying paint wet-on-wet. He loved the technique and became the most well known artist using this method. He was one of the few American artists selected to demonstrate at the 1982 World's Fair. The Bob Ross Company was founded the same year. His PBS series "The Best of the Joy of Painting" has made him the #1 TV Artist to this day. He later founded his own successful line of art supplies and instructional material. Thanks to Bob's persistence in modifying this technique, millions of people are able to fulfill a dream of painting.
