If you're like me, you grew up watching and adoring Bob Ross, PBS's beloved oil painter, on "The Joy of Painting."
Now, thanks to Canvas and Cocktails, you can be Bob Ross. [caption id="attachment_23308" align="aligncenter" width="300"]

That's right: on specified "Dress Like Bob Ross" nights, amateur artists arrive in blue button-down shirts and are given a smock and an iconic permed wig before delving into the world of "happy little clouds" and "happy little trees."

But the soft-spoken, encouraging demeanor and the ability to turn all mistakes into happy accidents? That's left entirely up to you.
Each session features instructions on how to paint a Bob Ross-inspired masterpiece.

Canvas and Cocktails first began offering the Bob Ross nights over the summer, and they've been popular enough that the studio has ordered 2,000 more wigs to be doled out at future classes. The sessions are generally offered on a monthly basis. Check your closest Canvas and Cocktails location for more information and to register!
True fans of the painter will love this remix, from Symphony of Science's John D. Boswell and PBS Digital Studios. And if you've seen it already, it's definitely worth watching again!
