The way he holds the palette, you'd think it would happen a lot

Imagine having just enough artistic talent to produce really bad paintings very quickly. Imagine never getting any better, and never having the courage to try to stretch yourself as an artist. Such is the pitiful, sad life of Bob Ross.

Imagine enjoying what you do for a living and being able to share that joy with millions of others who appreciated his instruction. His life ended sadly and he and his family were definitely fucked over by his business partners, but he did not live a pitiful life.

The guy had peace. Most cannot say that.

I'd disagree his paintings were bad, per se, but nature background aesthetic doesn't require details like lining so they can be reproduced very quickly with a brush.
