Talk:The Joy of Painting
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original Host
Was there another host before Bob Ross? I remember watching "The Joy of Painting" years ago with an older, grey-haired host. He had a European accent of some kind, and his instruction was somewhat less soothing than Ross's... When painting a mountain, for example, he'd exclaim, "Fire it right in there!" while 'stabbing' the brush into the canvas. Once he was gone, that's when I recall Bob Ross doing the show.

- According to Talk:Bob Ross, this should actually be "Joy of Painting II", with the current tile being a (previous) show with this mentor as the host. --GargoyleMT 20:50, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
- That was a man named Bill Alexander, I believe. Mr. Ross said he studied under him.

- Yes, that was the guy! Here's a link to his Wikipedia page...
