The Bob Ross DVD Joy of Painting series 8 is a set of 3 DVDs with 13 painting projects in all. This DVD is from the art instructional TV series The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross. This DVD set permits you to watch and paint along with Bob. ( Hey, slow down there Bob,,,I can not paint that in 30 minutes! ) Thank goodness you do not have to, you can pause Bob while you catch up. Maybe you just messed up that happy cloud and want to just start over. Go grab a new canvas, get the liquid white on it, and start the DVD over again. Save the boo boo canvas, paint it all the same shade store it as it dries (keep away from dust and pet hair)and you have a canvas ready for your next painting. It is sort of like having Bob in your living room teaching you to paint. But now you can control Bob, put him in ultra slow motion so that you can see how he painted that cloud. Watch him at your speed,,not Bob speed. I can not paint a painting in 30 minutes like Bob. So that is what I do I watch in slow motion so that I can study his brush strokes. You can learn so much more by just watching the brush strokes and also how he loads the paint onto the brush. Things you can catch in slow motion. I teach Bob Ross classes my students watch the 30 minute program on DVD of the project we are painting before we begin. This permits the students to see the master at work, and it helps them understand the steps it takes to achieve a finished painting. Maxine
