Nobody can really replace Bob, but Nicholas, with his calm demeanor, soothing voice, and performance, does a superior job!

Nicholas has a nice voice and a calming demeanor. He is a worthy successor to Bob. And he even "Beat the devil out of it!"

Great continuation of what would have been season 32. My only want would be show the Bob original with yours Nick.

I enjoy watching you paint, and appreciate the way you include little memories about Bob. You do a good job making the show yours while honoring Bob. I think he would be proud of you.

I am so incredibly happy this new series is out. I have recently retired and have started painting in my new found spare time.

This is very enjoyable. Just like the original Joy of Painting that Bob Ross had done. He would have been very impressed with Nic’s painting skills.

So nice to see all those techniques, I like how many ways of rock painting there are. Useful beyond the seascapes!

Nicholas has his own style. It's very nice to see.

This man nailed it, also feels relaxing and nice.

What could be better

Guys don’t involve where it Bob Ross died at 52 in 1997. This is a fake channel. This is not Bob Ross.

Did this air on a private US channel about a year or two ago? Don’t lock anything behind members only! Bob Ross was on a public broadcasting channel - he would have wanted access for all!

I don't get how none of the color shows before the white is added on the black gesso. I've tried it 3 different times and all 3 times the color pops out.

Copy cat traitor.

Show down and chill it out man. It's beautiful but you're killing all the wonderful subtlety of the delivery.

It's too bad Bob Ross paints won't work in the wet on wet technique he used. Alexander Paints are thick dry butter type paints, you cannot hold a palette upside down with Ross paints.

Good artist but every artist needs to be an individual. Bob even stressed that all the time. This guy is trying too hard to be Bob.

ABSOLUTELY terrifying for a beginner, Dude. There is a TON going on with the gesso, already. You basically painted a quarter of an acrylic painting before you started.

10 seascapes 0 seagulls..... I love me Bob Ross but these paintings are too realistic for that.

I don't like the different music.

Had a class with Bob Ross?
