LEGO Ideas welcomes the calming influence of Bob Ross to the list of potential fan-designed builds that could become a real LEGO set.
Designed by first-time 10K club member and former Grand Prize challenge winner BrickAbe, Bob Ross: The Joy of Painting builds on the previous LEGO Ideas set, 21333 Vincent van Gogh – The Starry Night, with artwork and a minifigure of the artist : Bob Ross. Known for his calming and encouraging televised art lessons, the late Bob Ross was a fixture of the 80s and early 90s, offering a welcoming place for people to paint alongside him.
He was best known for his natural landscapes similar to the one depicted in the upcoming set. A gradient sunset sky, snow-capped mountains and a lush forest meet, complete with a cabin and a lake in the foreground. The bricks are laid together to create a landscape that stands in relief from the brick built ‘canvas’ and there are hooks on the back so it can hang on the wall.
Bob himself can be found in a small TV next to the painting or sitting on a log bench inside it.
Bob Ross: The Joy of Painting will be the 31st LEGO Ideas project in the second review from 2024. Remind yourself what else has made it so far in the table below.

I write about all the very best fandoms – and of course that means LEGO. Spending so much time looking at and talking about LEGO sets is dangerous to my bank balance, but the LEGO shelves thrive. You win some, you lose some.
