Looking into the show itself, you'll find Bob painted each work three times - the first serves as the model for the second, which is what the audience sees painted. The third is a further refined version, for use in his art books. A consistent system of production, with which he made several hundred artworks.
He's attracted a big following online, leading to stuff like stats about his painting subjects: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/a-statistical-analysis-of-the-work-of-bob-ross/
