24. Bob Ross Could Film an Entire Season in Two Days
The wet-on-wet oil painting technique is incredibly quick to work with, thanks to not having to wait for the rather long drying time of the oil paints. With a practiced hand, like in Ross’ case, this meant paintings could be churned out with incredible speed. Ross supposedly was able to film an entire season of The Joy of Painting in only two days! With an average of 13 episodes per season, this means Ross was capable of recreating up to seven oil paintings per work day, as well as remembering all of the commentaries he wanted to make for each painting. Incredible!
