The last fact for today ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ I hope this someone learn something new, Cheer someone up or Distract someone from the drama (●'◡'●)ﾉ

For all artistic fans and Bob Ross Fans.

The U.S. Air Force introduced Bob Ross to painting.

The late Bob Ross, the host of The Joy of Painting, was known for being a soft-spoken artist with a signature hairstyle and a stunning talent for painting dreamy landscapes filled with happy trees. But he might not have ever been the painter we came to adore if he hadn't been in the U.S. Air Force, according to an interview with the Orlando Sentinel. While rising to the rank of Master Sergeant, Ross was also able to take a painting class, and he was inspired by the scenery in Alaska where he was stationed. The state's landscape would often pop up in his work throughout his artistic career.

As a member of the Air Force, Ross was able to take a painting class at a U.S.O. club, which marked the first time he studied painting. He didn't care for the abstract teaching style that focused on "color theory and composition" but "wouldn't tell you how to paint a tree."
