In Bob Ross - The Joy of Painting season 20 episode 7, titled "Autumn Fantasy," the beloved artist takes viewers on a journey to capture the beauty and magic of fall season. Ross paints the stunning landscape of golden and orange trees standing tall amidst a serene lake and blue sky.
As always, Ross begins the episode by preparing his canvas with an autumnal color scheme. He mixes together a warm orange hue and a deep green shade before applying them to the canvas with broad strokes of his brush. These colors create a perfect base for the painting's fall theme.
Once the canvas is covered with the background colors, Ross starts adding in the details of his landscape. He creates the trees by using a fan brush with different shades of brown, orange, and yellow. With his signature technique, Ross taps the brush onto the canvas to create a textured look for the foliage.

As the scene comes together, Ross adds in a few touches of his favorite color, titanium white, to highlight the details of the trees and create the illusion of sunlight filtering through the foliage. He also works on creating the reflections in the lake, adding a hint of orange and yellow to the water that complement the autumn colors of the trees.
As he finishes the painting, Ross admires his handiwork and exclaims, "Isn't that a pretty little world we just created?" Viewers will likely agree as they take in the masterpiece he has painted.
Overall, "Autumn Fantasy" captures the beauty and tranquility of the fall season, showcasing Bob Ross's unmatched talent for bringing gorgeous landscapes to life on canvas. The episode is sure to leave viewers feeling relaxed and inspired, ready to embrace the beauty of nature that surrounds them.
