The Joy Of Washing Your Brush

Bob Ross (1942 - 1995) was an American painter, art instructor, and television host. He is best known as the creator and host of The Joy of Painting, a television program that ran for 12 years on PBS stations in the United States.

During each half-hour segment, Ross would instruct viewers in the art of oil painting using a quick-study technique that kept colors to a minimum and broke paintings down into simple steps that virtually anyone could follow. One of the things he frequently did was washing his brush. And he enjoyed doing it.

I've got almost every episode of Joy of painting on VCR tapes (I'm so retro!).
That show was the most relaxing yet interesting show I've ever seen.
