Tsuujou Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 http://www.twitch.tv/bobrossTwitch has been streaming this to celebrate the launch of Twitch Creative. Personally, I don't see a reason to stream art on Twitch since there's a dozen art stream services dedicated to it. People go to Twitch for games, but w/e. That's neither here nor there because BOB ROSS. They've been streaming Joy of Painting since the 29th I think and it's just been great. It's enough ad free Bob Ross 24 hours a day to make anyone a happy little tree. I usually have my music playing when I draw, but it's nice to just have this in the background. I used to watch Bob Ross as a kid and he's just got the warmest and kindest nature I've ever seen. It just makes the anxieties and stress of drawing evaporate and I don't feel as bad when I mess up. This was really nice to be able to sit through hours of good TV.The bonus is the hilarious Twitch Chat (which some articles hazed as being hateful because they don't know shit about context and just assumed people were hating Bob). He just puts in a vague shape "RUINED" and then he finishes it "SAVED! CLUTCH! READS!". They actually love him, because who the Hell doesn't? The jokes have been killing me. The best part was when he brought in a little bird named Falky. These people went ham. But I love when he shows the "little woodland creatures". I just love this show so much.

Kaizy Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Just started watching this today and goddamn it's so nice to have going on the second monitor while I do stuff.

Wolflich Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I find those shows strangely relaxing, but sadly I don't like streaming things a lot because my connection is too Australian to handle much at once.On a semi-related note, the last time I watched a stream on twitch my adblocker had stopped >300 things from loading by the end.

Conker Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Decided to jump on board for whynots, and fucking hell, it's so awesome. I wish I knew someone that chill and happy. Also, he's really fucking good at what he does.And like others have said, watching the chatroom explode is awesome. A thousand people going "RUINED!" when he paints something that doens't look right then flips to "FUCKING SAVED" when he makes it work. I laughed so fucking hard. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hewge Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 When I first checked it out, I wasn't expecting to watch it much...  Three hours later, and I was a happy little tree, in a land full of happy little clouds, with a flowing river of love and joy beside me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsuujou Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) I believe they said until they play the last episode which would take 9 days. So that means it ends tomorrow. Edited November 6, 2015 by XoPachi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sourdough Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I'm about to flip buildings.Just plant some happy little trees in their place and you're good.How dare Bob Ross make painting accessible to the common man without any hint of pretension or snobbery.

Tsuujou Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 Interesting that Bob was in the service for 20 years. Master Sergeant. Said when he retired he vowed to never yell again. Isn't that something?Also, I wonder if someone would ever make a digital painting program in his name. One programmed to emphasize how he used his tools in a simple manner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conker Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Do you think this twitch stream will get people into painting at all? I know watching him go, I really want to try now. Or at least buy some books on his method and learn about it more.He makes it seem so fun and easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His show was always on British TV when I was growing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
