Is his art actually any good /ic/?

The end result speaks for itself, the problem is that /ic/ can't even implement those basic rules so they hate on him.

Competent design and craft
Vacuous aesthetics

I see you weren't here when we had a thread dedicated to drawing 'happy trees'. does anybody got some screenshots from back then?

People hate on Bob without understanding the entire point of why he did what he did. He wasn't trying to make unique pieces of art. He just wanted to get people to enjoy the same thing he did as much as he did.

Yes, fundamentally his art is good. The 'problem' is just that he used brushes to 'cheat'. Bob Ross only wanted to share his Joy of Painting with everyone and get people passionate about it, which he did very well.
He was a great guy who did a lot for the community and he was a great artist too.

Bob is secret nihilist
His art made me happy. So I think so.
>>2388592
no. he's a mediocre artist on a good day, but his contribution was making painting fun and accessible to a lot of people. It's the JOY OF PAINTING, not GIT GUD OR DIE

How do you cheat at painting?
>>2393045
what he means (I assume) is that Bob used cheap brush tricks to achieve texture effects that wow casual observers, but will look kitsch as fuck to anyone with a painting background or eye for art. Basically the same way spraypaint space-scene artists 'cheat.'
