Bob Ross’ legacy lives on in new ‘The Joy of Painting’ series

A new generation can learn how to paint happy trees and to make happy accidents with a TV series teaching the Bob Ross method of painting using some of the prolific artist's work that have never been seen before.

Those works were stored away for almost three decades. Certified Bob Ross instructor Nicholas Hankins has studied those seven paintings and paints them from scratch on camera in “The Joy of Painting with Nicholas Hankins: Bob Ross’ Unfinished Season,” which started airing this spring in some markets on American Public Television. Some episodes are available on PBS' website.

Kowalski is fascinated by the online response to Hankin's videos. “People notice that Nick is not at all trying to be Bob, and he's delivering naturally as himself and yet there’s still that same sort of feeling you get watching Bob.” Kowalski says people used to sheepishly tell Ross “all the time” that they would fall asleep to his episodes, but he didn't mind. “He said, ‘I love hearing that you’ve never watched a full episode of me.’”
