Explore Bob Ross's iconic style in a new instructional web series that brings Mystic Mountains, Happy Little Trees, and Happy Little Clouds to Painter® 2018. Officially "Bob Ross®-approved," this new 4-episode series has been released along with an exclusive collection of Painter 2018 brushes, inspired by the favorite tools and techniques Bob introduced in his long-running PBS show, The Joy of Painting®.
"Whether you know Bob Ross from Twitch, Netflix, or growing up watching PBS, his philosophy and passion for painting transcends generations. With our new brushes and tutorials, Painter is building a bridge between Bob's unique and traditionally inspired style, and the creative possibilities of today's digital realm," said Chris Pierce, Product Manager for Digital Arts at Corel. "Anyone who's watched The Joy of Painting knows Bob was offering much more than an art lesson - his joy for sharing art with others was infectious. We can't wait to see how artists find their happy place and honor his legacy in Painter 2018!"
Produced by Corel and approved by Bob Ross Inc.©, the series features instruction and digital artwork from Painter Master Karen Bonaker and even includes voiceover from Bob Ross himself. This 4-part special is free to watch on the Corel Discovery Center and includes:
- Paint Your Own Mystic Mountain Landscape
- How to Paint Happy Little Clouds
- Learning to Paint Happy Trees
- Setting Up Your Mystic Mountain Color Palette
To help artists make the most of their Bob Ross experience in Painter 2018, Corel has also released an exclusive Mystic Mountain brush pack. Paint just like Bob Ross using 16 custom-designed brushes that recreate the iconic look of Bob's happy little clouds, trees, rivers, and mountains that make up his Mystic Mountain style.
