* Also counts a moment of SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoment, but it fits here too: A fan approached Ross saying they could never paint something like Ross due to being colorblind. Ross's response? ''Paint an entire snowy landscape with whites, blacks, and greys''. All to show that '''ANYONE''' can paint.
* Art critics sometimes derided Ross's work as kitschy, with Ross himself [[HumbleHero good-naturedly conceding]] his paintings "probably wouldn't hang at the Smithsonian." Fast forward to [[https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/whatever-happened-all-bob-ross-paintings-180972672/ the present day]], and [[HilariousInHindsight guess whose paintings]] have been acquired by the Smithsonian American History Museum? Hint: [[TakeThatCritics Not the critics]]!

* If you're unaware of the "transparent colour over black" trick the addition of white to a black canvas resulting in an explosion of colour that seems to come from nowhere is pretty mind-blowing. Ross suggested using that trick when painting in front of others without telling them about it beforehand, as it was guaranteed to impress.

* Everybody has it in them to be an artist, everybody. You have it in you to be an artist, you just need to believe in yourself. [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre Bob believes in you]]. Even if you don't produce masterpieces it doesn't matter because the real value is just enjoying the experience of creating something.
