Bob Ross believed that each of us has the power to create our own world. In every episode of The Joy of Painting, he showed generations of viewers how to compose beautifully painted landscapes-many with sturdy, cozy cabins-that were places imbued with calm. The same lessons and wisdom he shared about painting can also be applied to how we view, create, and decorate the places in which we live. Framed by his famed techniques, anecdotes, and iconic images, and filled with interactive bravery tests that will challenge you to discover a host of newfound possibilities to make any space a living space, this unique book will help you apply Bob Ross's lessons about color, texture, proportion, and balance to create living and work spaces that are calm, comfortable, practical, and filled with joy and creativity. As Bob Ross told his many students, "All you need is a dream in your heart and the desire to put it on canvas."
