I'm watching this video:

The way he brought the mountain to life... just incredible!

 

[Loxley]

I don't care if half the folks tuning in are doing so ironically, this warms my heart.

 

[Milchmann]

Streamers who don't read chat.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Bob Ross is crushing it

 

[dh4niel]

So relaxing to watch it's like a brain massage.

 

[Ferrio]

These in chronological order?

 

[Umibozu]

black canvas :-D

 

[Tremis]

LOL @ #blackcanvasesmatter!

Twitch chat is gold.

 

[johnsmith]

still waiting

So relaxing to watch it's like a brain massage.

Welcome to my childhood. Even as an adult it is soothing to watch.

 

[Willectro]

People will disagree, but sometimes you see a lot of talent on Twitch, and this marathon really highlights that. And I'm not trying to compare Bob Ross' unbelievable ability and tasteful show to some dudes COD killstreak, but this is just a cool thing to do. It's a great change of pace, even if I probably will only watch a few episodes. Well played, Twitch.

 

[M.W.]

Guess this will be on in the background the next week or so

 

[Baleoce]

why can't i stop watching xD

 

[narcosis219]

VAC LMFAO

This twitch chat is amazing

 

[Bobs Big Boy]

Are there some good examples of artists doing this type of work over stream currently?

Or is that value that we all know what a Bob Ross is and watch it as a community thing?

 

[SJRB]

I'm literally watching him do it and I still don't understand how he does it.

His skills are god-tier for sure. Really awesome that Twitch is doing this.

 

[IrishNinja]

so vaping to this stuff later

"that tree has more friends than I do"

oh god did i miss that bit? mannnn bob

bob ross + twitch chat is amazing

yeah, when i first saw this stuff (and didnt nearly appreciate it) as a kid in the 90s i think my mind would've warped picturing this combo

 

[Moaradin]

I used to always have this show in the background when I went to sleep LOL

Dude was insanely talented.

 

[dh4niel]

The sunset painting already looks amazing!

 

[LucidMomentum]

I used to always have this show in the background when I went to sleep LOL

This is what I'll be doing this weekend. So good.

 

[jman2050]

To this day it astounds me that he just churns out these beautiful paintings in literally a half hour every single time.

 

[Ferrio]

Wonder if we can look up how much each of these paintings goes for?

 

[Anno]

Bob with the casual pine tree sex joke.

 

[TatteredHat]

For people who enjoy these kinds of painting videos, you should check out Kevin Hill. He has the Bob Ross vibe going on and everything.

 

[Lucario]

chat is going batshit whenever he draws a tree

this is amazing

 

[Rin Tohsaka]

S E L L O U T

 

[Loxley]

I really, really hope this bit from Ross' Wikipedia page is true:

Before the show launched, Ross would try to promote the painting technique but with little interest. He also had to find a way to cut back on spending, so he decided to have his hair permed, just so he could save money on haircuts. The perm hairstyle was not comfortable for Ross, but ultimately became an iconic feature of the painter.

 

[painey]

When I lived in England I had never heard of Bob Ross, and I found a 24/7 stream of him online. I used to watch it and fall asleep to it. It ran for a few months before it was taken down. This was way before Twitch even existed.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

pre fro bob

 

[Gentleman Jack]

the speedrun memes in chat are cute.

 

[revolverjgw]

That handcuff story was disturbing

 

[Paches]

"Leave the trout alone!"

 

[Spiritreaver]

The chat really enhances the experience and is why I love Twitch so much. Not just the troll comments, but the reactions. Streaming is a great medium, it's a shame so many people don't "get" it.

 

[Rektash]

Gotto hand it to twitch.tv. This is a brilliant idea to promote their creative category.

[sgjackson]

this is amazing

2:22 Tifakitteh: Bob Ross please play UNDERTALE

.

 

[Anno]

Okay GAF time to show off the masterpieces you created in the last 25 minutes following along.

 

[Loxley]

"The Joy of Painting is filmed in front of a live twitch audience"

I love that they've removed the phone number and address from the end of each episode, because they know what leaving that information in would do in this psycho internet age.

 

[dc89]

I've watched a fair share of these on YouTube. I can not paint for toffee, but damn if they are relaxing.

 

[apocalidiot]

I'm glad these are on Youtube. Side note, twitch chat is annoying as fuck. Maybe I feel this way because I don't play video games/feel the need to hear what other people have to say about Bob Ross when I'm watching it

 

[Eggbok]

Post twist: Bob Ross is the source of the clouds power.

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

... can I really do this? He's making me think I can do this

yo this is my favorite post. I even added some of his videos to a youtube playlist so that I could "paint them later." lol. maybe one day!

 

[Indicate]

omg. this is amazing.

 

[Chuckl3s]

I wonder if they are watching this in the Twitch lobby.

 

[dc89]

Spoiler:

my favourite episodes are the ones

Spoiler

where he brings animals on to the set

 

[Loxley]

I swear this guy sneezes and beautiful landscapes appear.

 

[Calabi]

This is cool. I didn't know there's loads of artists on Twitch, will definitely tune into some of them.

[Einchy]

I wonder if this was done to get more people streaming in the creative section or if they just did it cus fuck it.
