Seven hours, one wall, and a whole lot of Behr paint later, ANJA had turned her bedroom into a Bob Ross landscape.

YouTube creator ANJA published “following a bob ross tutorial on my bedroom wall! (again)” on April 4, 2019, documenting a full-day project that took Ross’s classic wet-on-wet painting method off the canvas and onto drywall. Instead of oils and a palette knife, she worked with hardware-store house paint straight from the can, treating her bedroom wall like an oversized version of the landscapes Ross built on The Joy of Painting.

• The entire mural took ANJA seven hours to complete, according to her own account in the video.
• She used Behr interior paint in seven specific shades: Bonnie Blue Eyes, America Cup Navy, Old Monetary Grey, Big Chill, Ascot Blue, Shaede Fern, and a large amount of plain white.
• All of her paintbrushes came from Home Depot, not an art-supply store, reflecting the hardware-store approach to the whole project.

Swapping Canvas for Drywall

Bob Ross built his tutorials around firm-body oil paints and liquid white base coats designed for stretched canvas — materials made to stay workable long enough to blend mountains, clouds, and tree lines wet-on-wet. ANJA’s version strips that formula down to what’s sitting on a Behr paint chip rack. Wall paint dries differently than oils, doesn’t blend the same way under a brush, and offers none of the forgiving texture canvas provides, which makes replicating Ross’s technique on a flat bedroom wall a genuine technical experiment rather than a straight copy.

That mismatch between tools and outcome is the whole hook of the video: watching someone force a TV-painting method built for canvas to behave on a surface it was never designed for.

The Palette Behind the Landscape

The seven-color lineup — Bonnie Blue Eyes, America Cup Navy, Old Monetary Grey, Big Chill, Ascot Blue, Shaede Fern, plus a heavy supply of white — reads like a fairly standard Ross sky-to-mountain gradient, built from cool blues and grays for depth with a green for foliage. Buying it all from Behr and Home Depot, rather than an art store, kept the project grounded in materials any homeowner could pick up for an actual room renovation instead of specialty painting supplies.

This took me 7 hours!!

Part of a Running Series

This wasn’t ANJA’s first attempt at translating a Ross tutorial onto a wall — the video’s title even flags it as a repeat with “(again).” It sits inside a broader run of room-makeover and art-challenge content on her channel, where Ross’s signature motifs of mountains, tree lines, and sky gradients get reapplied to domestic spaces instead of framed canvases. Viewers drawn to that same blend of low-stakes creativity and DIY problem-solving tend to gravitate toward other project-style content, like the trying pinterest mug recipes video or the 10 Cookie Shaping Hacks to Impress All the Cookie Lovers!! clip, both built around the same test-it-yourself format.

Seven hours in, ANJA had a finished landscape running across her bedroom wall instead of a rolled-up canvas she’d have to find space for — and given the “(again)” in the title, it’s not likely to be the last wall in her house that ends up looking like a Bob Ross episode.
