This is by far my favorite Bob Ross ski collab to date because of the way he fills the sky with the northern lights makes this piece look so different from any other Bob Ross work. The painting is beautiful, literally popping off the ski!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBob uses his legendary \"wet-on-wet\" oil painting technique where he applies new layers of oil paint on top of still-wet layers. This method allows him to complete entire paintings in 30 minutes using brushes and painting knives, transforming simple colored smudges into intricate landscapes in seconds. This northern lights piece required some tricky work extending the aurora up the tip and blending them with the reflected lights in the lake at the tail, but Fank channeled his inner Bob making it look like a breeze!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSome fun facts about Bob... He spent 20 years in the U.S. Air Force stationed in Alaska, where he first saw the snow and mountains that became his trademark subjects. He took his first art class at the Anchorage U.S.O. club and believed everyone had artistic talent. His philosophy was simple and has become one of his most famous sayings inspiring millions of others, \"There are no mistakes; just happy accidents.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is our 4th Bob Ross collaboration. Each time people tell me, \"oh, I missed it. Are there any more?\" And I have to tell them, sorry they’re sold out. Remember once a Limited Edition ski sells out, it’s gone forever! I'm only building 450 of these, which is less than I’ve made in the past so order now to get them before they're gone!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J skis","offers":[{"title":"162cm","offer_id":41661905010775,"sku":"J25ESBR162","price":849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"169cm","offer_id":41661905043543,"sku":"J25ESBR169","price":849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"176cm","offer_id":41661905076311,"sku":"J25ESBR176","price":849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"182cm","offer_id":41661905109079,"sku":"J25ESBR182","price":849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"188cm","offer_id":41661905141847,"sku":"J25ESBR188","price":849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/7219\/files\/ESCALATOR_TheJoyOfSkiing4_FULL-SKI2.png?v=1753287775","url":"https:\/\/jskis.com\/products\/bob-ross-4","provider":"J skis","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
