I'm a Artist and been through Art Academy, and I do Oil Paintings in different styles and done "Bob Ross" wet on wet and it was so easy if you know what your doing wet on wet, the only thing I do different in my Painting I never use the mixing knife on the canvas, I think it's the younger generation want to rush through a Oil Paintings that you can't.....
100% Not photoshopped 😂😂😂 The biggest issue I have is putting on highlights..I tend to cover up too much of the dark. Your list is spot on, especially the part about slowing down. I’ve been guilty of this! Thanks again for another very useful, helpful video!
Yeah - Highlights can get away from ya real quick. Its tough butt if you can do what Bob says and just do one highlight at a time it helps. But even more... if you can do 1highlight stop and look at it from like 2/4 feet away. It will have you stop adding too many highlights
Thanks! I am very new to painting and I found your channel after ruining a seascape. I have a feeling that wasn’t the best painting to try on my second time. I had to start over. I don’t think i put enough liquid white and clear because it was very hard to blend from the get go. The first one I did okay with in that regard. Anyway, i love your videos! thanks for the help, it encourages me to continue.
Thanks for the Love & I am glad that you found me too and that I can come in clutch for you and your painting adventures. Sounds like you need to add a layer of gesso or a little more Liquid White or Clear to your canvas like I said in the video... It will really help with the blending of colors. I have two videos that might help you even more. I will link them below if you are interested: Getting Started: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AnGE7AYu9RY.html Paint Like Bob: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8OIMoi2DpN0.html Don't forget to hit that Sub button too 💪
I keep hearing A thin paint sticks to a thick paint. If you’re starting with a wet canvas how are you supposed to get thick paint to stick to it? It contradicts itself. What am I missing? I’m ready to chuck this oil and go back to acrylic

Your videos have been so helpful!. Question about reusing a canvas. After I scrape off the oil paint should I apply a coat of gesso or just reapply the magic white? Thanks!!
I am glad I can be helpful for ya Linda. Below is a video that covers this precise question. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-smUFBaqwMoU.html

Hello hope your having g an awesome day . My question is , I painted something now I wish to place an animal in the front left, my question is does it matter the size
When you buy more expensive canvases you might not have to add that extra layer of gesso ( because the coating might be good enough already ). But like I say in the video if you are buying cheaper canvases, I would recommend adding additional layers of gesso. And Yes, You apply gesso ( let it dry ) then apply your liquid white base.
Just add some liquid medium to the section you want to re-wet & start blending from there. You might have to do a little more layers to hide where you re-started BUT thats about it.
@@WildCreates thank you. Tried BR liquid clear and it worked. Also, I blend to the point that I get down to gesso and have to add everything again. Much learning to be done.
I’ve recently also given it a try and my biggest problem is, that highlights in those dark clouds just become one with the dark color and make it a grey mess. I guess that also falls under using too little color for the highlight areas 😅
I have 2 videos that will help with this ( one is brand new ) watch in the order below to fix this issue. Hope that helps. Sky: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m_LTAgS7RCg.html Clouds: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i4ax8C8H47o.html
@@WildCreates Yes, it definetly did! Those are my first two attempts, your videos really helped me to improve some things already. Keep up the awesome quality! First: drive.google.com/file/d/109MW6BzzmtlPjz7Tw9wHNp-JlPy0-hVZ/view?usp=share_link Second: drive.google.com/file/d/17_4kNyNe5gvyL5Dc7upt0OAtyQwXXEww/view?usp=share_link
I can really see the improvement from each... keep it going buddy. For an added exercise - Try painting the exact same thing again a few days later. I think you will be amazed at how much you learned.
Hi Wild, I had used too little liquid white and after my painting is done I see splotchy oily spots in a certain light when I tilt it . will it dissipate when it dries completely? Yikes!!
Sadly No.... It may minimize a tad BUT since you know its there... you will always see it (thats just the critiquing artist in you ha ha ha ). HOWEVER, I got you! This wont fix it but it will help even out everything. When the painting is completely dry add a coat of spray varnish to it. This will really help!!! Plus its easy to do too. I have a video on it below. Check it out. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mZfZ1V8g2VE.html
Probably the first mistake is trying to copy the student "Bob ross" when you should be copying the person he copied, his instructor "Bill Alexander". Bill has many videos on RU-vid.
Then you would probably enjoy watching some of my other videos: Try Bill: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HGupvP43TzQ.html Painting with Bill and Bob tips: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8OIMoi2DpN0.html
absolutely agree with you Gary!! Bill was the master, bob was just a thief and poser.. If you watch many of Bill's tutorials, he will show you everything you need to know. No need to go anywhere else and if you look at Bill's pallette he doesn't need a lot of paint as suggested here.. (BTW I did learn a good trick from Kevin, blotting the canvas to soak up extra oil if you have a lot of paint on.. use blue shop towels not paper towels this minimizes mud if you start painting yourself into that corner)
