I'm Bob! I discovered oil painting while I was enlisted in the U.S. Air Force in Alaska in the early 1960s. I studied the 'wet-on-wet' technique, also known as 'Alla Prima', used by other great painters such as Rembrandt & Monet. This allowed me to produce complete paintings in less than an hour. I then became an art instructor, creating my iconic image and eventually teaching a TV audience of millions on the TV show The Joy of Painting.
