<\/div>\n
Although we all know him as the \u201cbonus haired painter\u201d, we know very little about him. So, what kind of life did that beautiful person, Bob Ross, who made our childhood beautiful?<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\u2022 He dropped out of high school and started working.<\/b><\/div>\n
\u2022 When he went to Alaska with the US army he joined, he admired the natural beauties and started painting.<\/b><\/div>\n
\n

“Maybe there’s a happy little tree over there.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\u2022 In the \u201cwet-on-wet\u201d technique, which he learned in the military, both canvas and paint were used wet, and this technique allowed the painting to be finished much faster.<\/b><\/div>\n
\u2022 She didn’t actually have curly hair.<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Since Bob’s art teacher was retiring, he wanted to hand over the business to Bob. Bob also toured the country in a trailer, demonstrating his teacher’s “wet on wet” technique. For this process, which lasted for 1 year, she aimed to reduce her expenses and decided not to cut her hair. Later, when the permed hair used in the advertising campaign became a symbol, she could not cut it even if she wanted to.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2022 After being in the military for 20 years, he left the military because he thought this profession was not suitable for him.<\/b><\/div>\n
\u2022 After leaving the military, he promised himself not to yell at anyone again.<\/b><\/div>\n
That must have been the source of his speaking style and distinctive demeanor that made him one of the favorite television characters of the eighties and nineties.<\/div>\n
\u2022 She worked as an art teacher in art schools and became a very popular teacher.<\/b><\/div>\n
Annetta Kowalski, one of Bob’s students, praised her teacher so much that the couple offered Bob a TV commercial and later a program. They even mortgaged their own houses for advertising expenses.<\/div>\n
Broadcasters made Annette Kowalski an offer after Ross’ death: \u201cRoss’ shows were good. The people were very fond of it. The programs are still followed with interest. Make a copy of it and we’ll publish it immediately\u2026\u201d Kowalski replied to them:<\/div>\n
\n

\u201cDo you think the secret of success is in the program? The secret of success was in Bob\u2026\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\u2022 At first, he did not like the idea of advertising, but was convinced when he thought that most people could learn painting thanks to it.<\/b><\/div>\n
Their advertisements also attracted a lot of attention and started to receive offers from programmers.<\/div>\n
\n

\u201cWe touch our canvas with our brush. It’s so easy!.. We touch without fear\u2026 There is no such thing as a mistake. There are only happy little accidents\u2026 Here we draw an old tree. Maybe there are happy little bushes living there. There it is\u2026 Perhaps cute little squirrels are merrily strolling through the bushes. Let’s get some vanday brown, some titanium white\u2026 OK\u2026\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\u2022 His reputation increased as the program he made in 1983 began to be broadcast in other countries. There was no income from these publications made in other countries.<\/b><\/div>\n
\u2022 Its program started to be broadcast on TRT in 1993 and the program lasted for more than 10 years. <\/b><\/div>\n
\u2022 He was an animal lover who healed injured animals he found on the street and then released them to nature.<\/b><\/div>\n
\u2022 He would make 3 pictures for each program. One was drawn before the program to be rehearsed, one during the program, and the other after the program to appear in the end credits.<\/b><\/div>\n
\n

\u201cYou will find that it gets easier as you practice. If there is one secret, it is practice.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\u2022 Every day he received hundreds of letters from people who wanted a picture of the city or village they lived in.<\/b><\/div>\n
\u2022 He did not receive any money because the PBS channel he made the program was financed by state aid and donations. <\/b><\/div>\n
\u2022 He sold the paintings he drew for a living. He donated half of the money he earned from the paintings to the channel.<\/b><\/div>\n
\u2022 Later he founded a company called Bob Ross. This company sold videotapes, art supplies, and books.<\/b><\/div>\n
\u2022 He started working at MTV in his last years. Although his company was getting better financially, he could not see it getting richer.<\/b><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u2022 His company still receives money from episodes aired on Netflix. The Bob Ross channel on YouTube is also managed by the company. <\/b><\/div>\n
\u2022 We don’t know what happened to Bob Ross’ family after his death. None of them have social media accounts. His sons are also painters, but they do not have a say in the company.<\/b><\/div>\n
\u2022 Today, the originals of his paintings are worth 10-15 thousand dollars.<\/b><\/div>\n
\u2022 He replied to the comment, \u201cHe simplifies the art of painting, he does not make art, but makes landscapes\u201d as follows:<\/b><\/div>\n
\n

\u201cYes, I paint landscapes. Because I like to convey the beauty of nature and this perfect balance to people. Just be aware of the beauties, that’s enough.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\u2022 The program was terminated in 1994 after the diagnosis of lymphoma. He passed away on July 4, 1995 at the age of 52.<\/b><\/div>\n
