What do Robert Good and Jayne Good have in common? (Apart from our surname – we are not related as far as we know).
I was introduced to the world of Bob Ross by a friend, and I was hooked. Bob Ross was an an ex US army officer who delivered kitsch art demonstrations in a soothing, reassuring and always positive voice. In the current pandemic he has become a cult figure as people look for ways to reduce their stress and anxiety.
Jayne Good is an accredited Bob Ross instructor, teaching people to paint in the Bob Ross style. I was fascinated to find out that such instructors exist, and wanted to find out more. Does Jayne think that what she does is kitsch? And is it creative to teach everyone to paint in the same way?
Jayne discusses positivity, pleasure, and the importance of quality biscuits.
