Bob Ross' final paintings are now being shared with audiences through a new series called “The Joy of Painting with Nicholas Hankins: Bob Ross’ Unfinished Season.'
A new generation can learn how to paint happy trees and to make happy accidents with a TV series teaching the Bob Ross method of painting using some of the prolific artist's work that have never been seen before. Before Ross died in 1995 from cancer, he had completed seven paintings to use in season 32 of 'The Joy of Painting.
Those works were stored away for almost three decades. Certified Bob Ross instructor Nicholas Hankins has studied those seven paintings and paints them from scratch on camera in 'The Joy of Painting with Nicholas Hankins: Bob Ross’ Unfinished Season,' which started airing this spring in some markets on American Public Television. Some episodes are available on PBS' website.

'He said, ‘I love hearing that you’ve never watched a full episode of me.
