Sold at Auction: Bob Ross

It's impossible to separate Bob Ross, artist from Bob Ross, television personality. Ross taught wet-on-wet painting on television for over a decade. He learned the technique from an earlier television artist, Bill Alexander, while he was serving in the Air Force. Each segment featured Ross creating a painting. Being a perfectionist, Ross created three copies of each work: an original, placed offstage for him to reference, the painting he created during the show, and a final copy to use in his instruction books. He also donated many of these paintings to public television stations, which makes finding a Bob Ross painting for sale an unusual occurrence.

Bob Ross' artwork is just part of the Bob Ross phenomenon. While finding the work of artist Bob Ross may be difficult, take a voyage at Invaluable through the many dramatic and serene seascape paintings for sale at auction and online.
