“The Joy of Painting” was a unique program in which painter Bob Ross completed a landscape painting while explaining the techniques to viewers in a short 30-minute format. He passed away in 1995 due to illness.

This is what the real Bob Ross was like.

This work recreates Season 3 Episode 1 “Mountain Retreat,” which aired on January 11, 1984. The title “Mountain Retreat” means a hideaway in the mountains or a mountain sanctuary.

What are the chances of it becoming a product?

This is the first time the creator BrickAbe has advanced to the review stage.

No painting-themed sets have been approved since the release of Van Gogh’s The Starry Night in 2022. Given that it’s been 30 years since the show ended, the chances of passing the review might not be very high.
