Paint like Bob Ross digitally (Udemy.com)

Neil Fontaine teaches digital landscape painting in the style of Bob Ross, using Paint Storm and a set of free brushes he built for the job. At 5.3 hours it is a compact course, aimed at beginners but described as friendly to more advanced painters too. The course description promises happy clouds, trees, mountains and water, echoing Ross's own cheerful vocabulary, and the course leans into that mood rather than teaching digital art theory from scratch.

Reviewers like Fontaine's demonstrations and say the software is easy to pick up even with no prior digital art experience. One reviewer called the lectures clever and said the course gave them hope after years of admiring Ross from a distance. Another praised the instructor's demos and called it good value. The only real knock in the sample is a reviewer who seemed unimpressed by Paint Storm itself, more a software gripe than a teaching one. There is little else negative in this small review batch.

The course was last updated in 2019, so expect Paint Storm's interface to have moved on since these lectures were filmed. Requirements list Paint Storm and a drawing tablet, both extra costs beyond the course itself, and something to factor in before enrolling. For a niche hobby course with a specific instructor and a specific style, it delivers what it promises: a relaxed, paint along path to landscapes that look like Ross's, on a screen instead of a canvas.
