Synopsis

The Joy of Painting is an American half-hour instructional television show. Created and hosted by painter Bob Ross, it ran from January 11, 1983, to May 17, 1994. In most episodes, Ross taught techniques for landscape oil painting, completing a painting in each session. Occasionally, episodes featured a guest artist who would demonstrate a different painting technique. The program followed the same format as its predecessor from 1974 to 1982, The Magic of Oil Painting, which had been hosted by Ross's mentor Bill Alexander. In 2024, the series was revived with Nicholas Hankins as host, initially using unused paintings Ross had completed before his death.
