He taught me to paint. Now I can put a happy tree anywhere I want. Miss you Bob and thanks.

Im crying too I miss you Bob Ross

I like that the comments only get likes, basically no dislikes. What a positive corner of the internet.

@@leftoverjohnI know this sounds like I’m trying to break it to u but RU-vid doesn’t allow the comments to be disliked

@@fatimathegoat No, not all, i am glad to know that. Regardless, i find that most people who wind up here didn’t come to troll or something, which is nice.

Indeed!!!

People know not to desecrate the legacy of Bob Ross. That man is smiling down on this video and anyone else who carries on his dream. From doing your own paintings in your house for your own happiness to helping others experience what Bob did, he’s happy to see it.

Couldnt agree more, despite the fact that here in Hungary we cant get none of those things and i desperately want a "happy little trees" t-shirt🤣

Máté Csorba hahhaa

Yasha Tovah You haven't a clue. Ross was a MASTER businessman and understood the importance of merchandising and branding. For instance, he hated his afro, but kept it all those years because it had so much importance in the branding - as in his likeness on his products. The business was HIS, and he built it into a multi-million dollar one very quickly. I'll bet he'd be ecstatic that the business is so strong a quarter-century after his passing. Despite what you may think, even Bob Ross didn't find money to be a bad thing. Do some research and find out about the man before you post such silliness.

@ There is definitely some truth to what you say, but why be so aggressive about it? Comments with an aggressive tone immediately sound less believable because truth does not rely on emotion. Aggression is often a way to force someone to believe something without merit.

Bob built his brand with a keen eye. He was quite the stickler about how the show was produced, how his merchandise was handled, and what his image was. Business sense is not a bad or evil thing, and indeed Bob had an excellent business sense. In my opinion, so long as his name isn't tarnished and he continues to be a bright spot in an often dark world, I don't mind if his estate continues to live and make money off of the joy he brought-and still brings- to people.

He really does an excellent job. He channels the Bob Ross teaching technique effortlessly. Love that the format allows for longer sessions, too! Helps us learners.

He was flawless

he is painting instructor there are some videos of classes of him in front of dozens of ppl... seems camera aint much scarier :)

I second this

Dane Park 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹📏🇵🇹🇵🇹🐖🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹qqqqqqqer

The hour time block, too. Nic has time to fully explore techniques and ideas that Bob could only touch on with the PBS format.

I was about to lament that they didn't use the old font to list the colors, then I realized they were doing it in the colors themselves. 😆 Hail to the new technology!

yeah but except that nothing changed since bill alexander show in the 70's, they call the magic white liquid white made the brush smaller and thats it nothing even slightly new after 50 years

@@tsabeat it's oil painting... alla prima has been around forever. Bill Alexander is on youtube, you should watch him too.

Indeed so but he doesn't have Bob's wardrobe.

Check out the channel Crafsman - Steadycraftin', for the cajun crafting version of Bob :)

Um no, his son is the closest we have to Bob Ross. the Bob Ross company screwed over his family big time after his death and kept them from using his name or earning any money from his legacy. Ask where his son is... cause he’s the only one who should be doing this reboot except he’s not allowed and was sued after Bob died... Bob would be cursing these pieces of garbage for everything they took from his family.

No he is himself just bcuz other artists were great doesn't mean we don't have great artist now

What about Kevin Hill?

@@Jealod24 cool, do you have any sources on that?

He is proud

@@unlimitedpower99 I very much doubt Bob Ross is proud of how Steve Ross was side-lined and this this johnny come lately being pushed as his artistic heir. Only reason this guys here is that Bob Ross Inc have realized they can only go so far with the limited video quality of the original shows.

He beat the devil out of it 😭

Andrew David Scott... Steve was offered his own show on many occasions and turned them down. Not sure where you’re getting this “sidelined” theory.

MEGAMIND!!!!

Ahh hahahahaha

Haha 🔥

can someone pls explain the joke

@@nocoyo348 he always says after wetting the brush to wack the devil out of it to dry it off

Nerd_516 that made my heart happy!

Don't you know? Learning to say it is the most important part of the Bob Ross training!

HE SAID IT BOYS HE DID IT *airhorns*

I clapped!!!

God damn, I never thought I'd become emotional over that line.

I like that he puts his own spin on it. He's not just painting the stuff Bob would, he's drawing from his own experiences for inspiration.

I like that hes kind of Bob Ross but he still putting his cararistics on the video

He was a verry long time on Bob Ross channel on twitch for 1 hour 1 time a week. That suddenly stopped in 2018. Dunno why. www.twitch.tv/bobross/video/73034930

I second that

@@Oxizee people hating is why. "Whee he's not bob, go away we want bob" hearing a 1000 people yell that everytime you're painting, I can't imagine that being fun. ^^' which is why I don't actually tune into the twitch channel for Bob Ross. I stick to the youtube channel. :D

Preach Amen to that... the guy is doing fantastic job keeping Bob's dream alive

Ikr people need to calm down, i'm sure bob ross would be proud that they are atleast trying to keep his dream alive and even if this isn't Bob Ross i'm sure with time we could get used to him

Dont use it like that

Not a sad accident. Just a happy little one.

Bob Ross didn’t die, he’s just teaching others to paint somewhere else

It’s kinda ironic because this idiot, AND ME, keeps copy pasting shit we don’t care about

Peepee poopoo wholesome comment chungus keanu reeeeeeves upvote

Thats because its been heavily edited to reflect positive advertisement. I am strongly against this project for there are others before him that have tried but have been sued. This guy is a bully in the business world suing those who cant fight back. He tosses his money around to create a sense of "legacy". This guy is a fake money hungry bully. He deservs to be exposed for his aggressive practices and does not deserve the advertisement being allowed by this channel. This is wrong, unstopable but still very wrong to the memory of Bob.

Downvotes have been hidden, negative responses silenced... There isn't transparency and therefore this is forced to look good. Disrespectful to Bobs memory

Well said.

Facts

And that’s the key. He’s not impersonating him, but rather doing a spin on his style.

This was a very nice tribute... lots of little nods to Bob's catchphrases and such. Very cool to see a student of Bob's techniques demonstrating them for us. Would be cool to see a bunch of different Bob Ross Certified instructors doing paintings as new content for the channel.

So true 😊

That’s so cool, glad he was able to get this opportunity

That's awesome dude!!!

where?

At 7:50 you know he wanted to say it lol

@@mexitalican99 Haha... I was waiting for it too

Well he is a certified Bob Ross instructor

@@Hellraiser988 what's that mean?

Agreed. Nailed it.

@@blabit4983 When Bob Ross was alive, he started his own painting-classes where he was teaching other people so that they could travel around the world and teach the same tecnique to others, so that they again could teach it to others, etc. They have continued with it since, and this guy went to one of these Bob Ross-classes, and did such a good job that he became a certified Bob Ross instructor - meaning, he's qualified to teach others the Bob Ross-tecnique with the Bob Ross-company backing him up.

Even if it’s not the original (❤️❤️❤️) we appreciate the effort.

Oh

Is that Bob's palette?

My question is why didn't Steve Ross take over? I can't find anything about him on the internet.

One of the best painting i have ever seen. i remember watch Bill Alexander in the 70s and then BR in the 80s with his jordache jeans 👖

Thousands of people are continuing Bob's legacy.

*look at this happy little rascal

He doesn't see his untimely death as a mistake, just another happy accident.

This is hwy I love Bob and Nic, just vibin' while painting a happy little painting.

Peter James Villegas I see hwat you did there ;)

I actually prefer this guy over bob. Something about bobs voice always bothered me.

"Tap tap tap" "Don't over do it, just let it happen" "Happy little accidents" Damn, it's good to see these words again.

Cat Wayne You seriously just listed God below Bob Ross smh Bob Ross would be ashamed

Who certifies him? 😂😂 Bob's children ?

@@woodman94 Bob Ross taught right? I imagine he certified certain people who may or may not have the ability to certify others. It's just a guess, but that's what I like to think.

@@CM-4929 sacrifices needs to be made

@@CM-4929 You have a lot of hate in your heart for someone who loves Bob Ross so much (and he probably believed in God). I don't know wich "god" you are talking about too, but have some respect and don't go generalizing like this. Don't go mad and spitting all of this because you are revolted. After what you said, you seem to be offended by someone almost comparing a human to God, but you don't care being offensive to so many other people. And btw, if your imagination tells you that "god" is worst than "most hardened criminals", seeing a nice guy like Nic trying to keep "the Bob Ross dream alive", doing a very nice job, is even WORSE than "god" in your opinion? It doesn't make any sense.

Yep wish the MCU did that after Stan Lee's death but they don't care about him or his work just what they can do with it to profit themselves

@@demontiming3234 do you have any examples of what they've done that would go against what Stan Lee would've wanted? i'm just a casual enjoyer so i don't really know much about what any controversies may be

This comment aged well

@@ZeffiesMC well after his death Disney and Sony immediately got into heated character license problems. Not only that but in the MCU now instead of honoring his work they just tokenize it. By either sex swapping, race swapping, ir gender swapping a character for as they say “representation” which is dumb. Why turn a white character black when their are plenty characters that they can use that are already black and vice versa. I have no problems with anybody for anything but it just gets annoying. Like their are storylines for specific characters that are great and but they just decided to completely change the character. Like in Black Widow, they gender swapped Task Master and who with comic book fans is a really liked character, but they literally made him a girl which amounted to nothing. If they would have at least done something more with it then it’d at least be ok. And but that’s the thing when it comes to tokenizing a character, it’s ok to do so if you plan to actually make something out of it and not just doing it just because you can like the MCU. Many true comic fans absolutely hate the MCU, I’m not that deep into it and I just casually enjoy some things of the MCU but I could never fully get into the MCU because of the just shear disrespect to the comics. The MCU instead of caring about the source material, would rather just appeal to new audiences and completely disregard comic fans 🤷‍♂️

@@demontiming3234 changing a gender, race, or sexuality does not change the story line my dude. You can appreciate both the original comics and the MCU, after all it’s technically it’s own universe. Chill out, they’re good movies and TV shows, just let them be good movies and TV shows

That’s the best part he’s definitely carrying on the legacy and has been heavily influenced by bob ross but he’s not trying to imitate every single little mannerism which would make it seem kind of cringeworthy. But he definitely knows that people loved everything about how bob ross did these shows and is definitely giving us some of that experience

Well said, Jase.

yet he is a perfection of a creature

Yessssssssss!

I was wondering if he was gonna put the “h” in there : )

Hwite*

Should put the h in front of the w. Hwite is the correct word in our world.

@@juanyang838 true

Even the little sounds effects, the Bob Ross spirit is there!

Happy he's continuing the legacy

exactly! 🥰

Both of them give me the same sense of calmness. I'm glad they picked him for this video

so true yea hes not bob ross but he is worthy of his mantle imo

P I think he is saying he is not trying to replace bob Ross. Sure, he copied the style of paintings, but the series wouldn’t be about bob ross if he wouldn’t. Plus he mentions bob ross and it further proves he isn’t replacing him.

@@TheEnderRenderer Facts

@P the question is - what the hell are YOU watching? xD coz definitely not this video.

@P That is exactly what I was doing. In this video he is a bit shy to express himself fully in order not to overdo it and show himself on the bad side. He is certified Bob Ross teacher so it is natural that he will be doing it in the same way first to show that HE IS CERTIFIED BOB ROSS TEACHER. At the end of the video when he creates the water - it is absolutely beautiful and his own way, that can be clearly seen. And in the second video - he is just himself being happy that fans still love Bob Ross' work and that he can safely show his own skills while commemorating Bob at the same time. That's why I like his approach to the fans. So again... I don't know which video did you watch.

Honestly you all are arguing about that he's the legend you want him to be, and sob about it, yet many of you forget he's trying his best delivering this to us. Seriously at this point, it's like nobody wants the something great anymore

My sentiments exactly.

Way to go!!!!!!! Thank you for continuing this beautiful work! I am an artist and have learned almost everything I know from Bob and I cannot wait to paint with Nick!!

Good point.

He used bobs lines so many times if that’s not copying idk what is

@@JosephSantos-kk9hu That's just because god decided to give Bob a friend and they learned much from each other

I would say I enjoyed this but my opinion has gone sour for this channel, they have now blocked almost all of their videos in England so now one of the things I most enjoyed, has been taken away. Who ever runs this channel has some questions to answer!

Kayleigh Reimert Be Bob Ross

That's the basic thing every Bob's fan should know well. Be like Bob Ross.

I didn't see the live but I often see people with no manners posting on the internet. People can be savages. I think Bob Ross would have been proud to see this man follow in his footsteps. I didn't know Bob Ross personally so I can't say that for sure but I know I would be honored if somebody followed in my footsteps in such a way. I hope he doesn't pay attention to all the mean comments and it's 2020 so I wish after so many years of the internet being in existence that people would remember that manners are still necessary even if you aren't actually faced with someone in person. Some of the things some people post are absolutely horrible and uncalled for. It's one thing to have an opinion but being a jerk isn't beneficial to anyone and it can actually be very hurtful to some people. It's too bad people can't hold themselves to a higher standards and treat each other with respect and constructive criticism instead of being downright mean. I think this guy did great and I would watch him again!

If anyone has ever gone to Bob Ross class in person, I have a secret... Bob isnt there teaching you. You get a cool Certified instructor like Nic! This reminds me of episodes when Bob would have his friends guest host. Nic is a good painter, and it was nice to see new content with someone demonstrating Bob's techniques.

Nic did great, and I'm saddened that anyone claiming to be a Bob Ross fan would dishonor him by acting that way. I hope Nic comes back for more!

Is 30 seasons not enough for you? LMAO

He is an amazing teacher as well! I went to New Smyrna Beach Florida and did 3 weeks of classes with Nic to become a Certified Landscape Instructor. I am going back in July to do classes on Florals with Nic.

Agreed! Nothing wrong with borrowing some of Bob's mannerisms! This feels like it was done with lots of love and respect.

If Steve came back I'd lose my damn mind.

He did inherit some of his phrases :)

Jello Flan | Yes, Bob does leave a mark on you

He's not trying to be a modern Bob Ross, but more like a rebirth of him, if you understand. He takes his iconic phrases and uses them, but describes the painting process with a mix of Bob's calming tone and his own thoughts and feelings during the process. I love this guy, I'd be glad to have him bring back The Joy of Painting.
