I wasn&#x27;t raised in the states, so the first time I watched Bob Ross was when twitch hosted the marathon. The painting process felt so surreal - I was witnessing an act of creation, the birth of a painting from blank canvas, yet at the same time I was the painter, deconstructing the painting in to mechanical techniques. I guess there is something unique about Bob Ross.<p>On a side note, in some sense coding is like painting, other than the fact that mistakes in programs are certainly not happy.
