Bob Ross Painting Tagging - Call For Arms

dracula

This is a great idea!
Perhaps these would be useful tags?

Seascape (More general than ocean or beach or wave)
Tape Design (Like "Dimensions")
Sunrise/Sunset

Umagaan

I would suggest tags:
hills (or foothills) for the paintings that have distinct foothills
clouds (so that we can differentiate paintings according to what the sky looks like)

When I tried to tag paintings it just gave me random paintings to tag, can I choose which painting to tag?
And maybe it would be easier if tags were split into groups (for instance - first general tags, like winter/desert/seascape/forest scene, then specifics, like river/lake/waterfall or evergreens/trees)

Great idea, I'm happy that you're always trying to improve the webpage. Thanks 🙂

Colin Hudson

Have you considered tags for Stormy or Spectacular Sky?

Colin Hudson

Isi t possible to differentiate between Snow / Winter Scene and Mountain Snow?

Sunnylady

Felix, is it possible you could add tag - "Hill", "Valley", "Rocks" ? Valley however is something that might be not needed, up to you.

Sunnylady

Also my be weather related tags "Storm", "Clear sky", "Sunset/sunrise", last is not weather though... I did 3 paintings tags and would it be easy to arrange by Alphabet so we can do things quick and efficient way?

Sunnylady

Ahaha, silly me. They are actually in alphabetic order. It turns it is my issue of working with a lot of tables where alphabetic order always vertical. Sorry Felix, no issues with Alphabet.

Kps257

All the categories from the statistic analysis fivethirty here maybe?

Colin Hudson

Felix - have you thought about people doing their own tabs on all new images?

Felix

Fantastic suggestions, thanks guys!

I've took the page down for now and will make some more improvements in the coming days.

Felix Hi you are doing a fantastic job with this web site, that being said is it possible to include orientation, landscape vs portrait? thanks for the opportunity for us all to share in the great job you are doing.

Felix

BStonebridge sure!

LJMpaintings

What about a section for other artists?

LJMpaintings I'm always interested in Bill Alexander compositions, but he's pretty obscure and not a lot of his TV work is readily accessible. My suspicion is some of his episodes were taped over, as was common in the '60s into the '70s. I've e-mailed both KOCE and Alexander Art and never got a reply. Although Alexander Art always takes my money. 😁

Hi Felix, Good idea. Another thing I've noticed is that some of the pictures are not representative of the painting concerned. A good example is S7E4 'Mountain Cabin' where the picture shown is only 10% or less of the beautiful total scenery in the whole painting. Just based on that picture, I wouldn't have given it a second look. S7E1 'Winter Cabin' is another example. While your tagging is underway, is this something that could be looked at please - if not done already.

Sunnylady

DaveJ I think it is great idea, to have option to add better screenshot of the Bob,s painting if the current one is partial. Because anyway we will be scrolling through the video to identify if there are extra things. Taking screenshot and trimming it will not add much time and effort.

Felix

These partial shots were the best one I could get from the YouTube videos. Sometimes they aren't showing the full painting at the end, so it's either an unfinished shot or a partial one.

Voy Kay

Felix I agree there. I watched so many episodes already and it happens frequently that the entire painting isn't shown.
With the end credits, the painting shown can even differ somewhat from what Bob actually painted. Then they took another version of his three painted creations per episode.

dracula

Felix I don't know if there's a copyright dimension to this, but we could photograph the versions from the books in cases where a complete version was not available on the TV program.

Dellajoy

Felix thank you so much for all the work you put into this site. I love being a member and love that there are other Bob fans who I can learn tips and tricks from. I am a huge BR fan myself and fairly new to painting so I'm really enjoying this new experience!

Felix

Dellajoy thank you for the kind words! 😊

BStonebridge I've taken a few days off work (my real job, not working on this website 😉) and plan to finish the feature this week or on the weekend. Since Vienna is in total lockdown there isn't anything else to do, so (hopefully) no distractions

BStonebridge

Hi Felix, Is the picture tagging still in development? No rush because when it is done it will be the best addition to this web site, thanks to you......
