Top Episodes Quotes
- “He definitely inspired me to continue with art. And then when I rediscovered him, it was just life changing.“ by Ted Simpson
- “We want majestic peaks, plural. By God, we'll put them in.“ by Ted Simpson
- “Bob's golden rule. This is another instance here where Bob simplifies things for you. There's a phrase there that artists use in oil paintings. It's called fat over lean, okay? It means if a paint has more fat in it, it's going to be runnier. Fat in this case is linseed oil. So a fat paint has a lot of linseed oil in it, which makes it runnier, which is easier to put on a layer that has less fat in it. That just sounds complicated as all heck, right? Bob just says a thin paint sticks to a thick paint. Everyone can understand that.“ by Ted Simpson
- “You can move mountains. You really can move mountains, at least on this canvas.“ by Bob Ross
