Glad you enjoyed it! I think my experience is one many others have - wishing the canvas would grow a few inches! Look forward to having you along for more tutorials - Paul 😎
Thanks for watching and discovering the joy of painting.... eventually. It dosn't matter how long it takes as long as you have a go sometime. Hope to see you for more paintings soon😊😎
Hey there Paul…again. I loved the mountain seclusion tutorial! But I wanted to share something about the other video with the birch tree. I tried your technique sort of scraping and rounding the trunk with a palette knife and I made a pretty cool looking tree. But what’s more, I accidentally made a knot hole!! I think I’m really going to enjoy this painting thing. Thanks again!!
Sorry I meant to say that I’ve never heard of black gesso before the seclusion video. Heck, I’d never heard of gesso period. Anyway I’ve got some on order. When it gets here I’ll revisit seclusion and give it a go.
Those happy accidents are the life blood of an artist! Top tip: when you have them and someone askes if it was an accident the answer is always 'no, I planned it that way' 😃😃😎😎
Great question! They're my home made DIY 'canvases' which are actually made of paper. I made a video all about this here in my G Getting Started with Oils Playlist ru-vid.com/group/PLia0kTctmZ_cjdl5rlQRjnYgBkiTBQ6wv
Awesome, thank you Edward. LIke painting I guess a little practice with making videos is starting to improve my style - err or something! Not quite sure yet 😀😎
I happened onto your channel and am enjoying your paintings and especially the careful way you explain how to do these things. That's very helpful to me. By the way, this was always one of my favorites too. I really like your version a lot.
Thanks Bethany - welcome onboard my little art channel - I hope to make your art journey a fun and interesting one. I love rehashing Bob's work and adding a little extra if I can. Yes this is one of Bob's best ever mountains. But I love them all truth be told! Happy painting week - Paul 😃😍😎
Absolutely gorgeous! Love the brown mountains and the lighting is stunning.😎 Can't wait to try painting this one. Thank you for showing us your "oops" and how you go about fixing the mistakes. Every one of your tips & tricks are added to my knowledge base for future reference -- if only I can remember where I put them. 🤣
Oh dear Cheryl - I also worry I'm forgetting more than I can remember hence the videos! Hope your week is going well and look forward to something a little more simple for this weekends tutorial. After the last epic I'm fagged out ( tired LOL ) 😍😍😍😍 Big art hugs and thank you as always - Paul 🥰🥰
Hello, Paul! Love the contrast of the warm sun hitting the mountain against the cold dark sky. Great fix, moving the iced trees. Your eye would have been pulled off to the other side of the canvas, indeed. Hope you and the family is well. Hugs for you and T, and pets for the kitties. 💖
Hey Robyn - great to hear from you. We're all good and trying to grab a little outdoors time with the autumn colors just starting to show. Field trip today for some B roll and inspiration. Love your last video of the tropical fish a fan tail guppy if I'm not mistaken. Hope your all doing well and speak again soon. 🥰😎
Another brilliant painting of a mountain love the use of the browns and blues I agree with you about the frosted trees They were best left out,another classic to try out in the future again great tips and tricks I use a colour wheel to help with the colours as I have difficulty with blues and green seeing the difference, slight colour blind to certain colours.thanks Paul ps like the cats just like mine ...incharge
Welcome Kris - thank you so much for the Super Thanks! As I self fund everything your kind donation will help pay for new materaisl and supplies. If you have a favourite Bob painting please let me know. I have a growing list to paint 😊 - Paul
Another great one! Do you prep your own canvas? Ever think about making a how to video for it? Been using canvas boards as I practice, but at the point I need to get serious!
Hi Gregory - yes and yes I have! So, I'm using my favourite DIY paper canvases ( yes I use a decorators lining paper) preped with a couple of coats of light grey gesso. I made a Getting Started with Oils playlist with a video of me making them. Links to the products are in the description Here's the link ru-vid.com/group/PLia0kTctmZ_cjdl5rlQRjnYgBkiTBQ6wv
You should! Its another painting that needs a bigger canvas. Maybe a future wall filler for the house. Make you laught - I have a studio full of paintings and yet all our walls are bare - talk about plumbers with dripping taps 😎
I painted recently from the numbers. But I am dying to buy all the equipment and try some of those wintery paintings. I am just to scared I will fail badly 😬😅
Have a look at some of my getting started videos. It might save you a few $$ on getting set up. Here's a link to them ru-vid.com/group/PLia0kTctmZ_cjdl5rlQRjnYgBkiTBQ6wv As for failing - you see how many times I go wrong! So expect a learning curve and the odd happy accident. Just remember to have fun! 😍😎
I really really love this!🥰 Beautiful. I like your painting a lot more than Bob's(shhh🤫 don't tell). I should be back to painting with enthusiasm again soon as I have a new muse(a puppy). I found my new puppy, Trumpet, at the same rescue as my sweet dog, Nixon, that passed. He'll be joining us in 12 days, when he's 8 weeks old. I'm not looking forward to my canvases and brushes getting chewed on but i guess that will happen, at least for a few months😜
Thank you so much 😀Amy - super news you have a new pup arriving soon. I think Nixon would approve. You gave him a wonderful life so I know Trumpet will have a lovely home too. I keep looking at the house and thinking about decorating. Then I see the shredded wall paper and my ' I didn't do it ...' kitties sleeping in the studio. Maybe a job for another day. 😎
@@PaulRansonArt I've had kitties in the past and I, too, lost some wallpaper. Also, a couch and a piano leg😜 No more kitties for me!😁 One, that was evil, peed in my coffee cup and frying pan😜 However, he was the most freakishly smart animal I've ever met. Oh, the joy of having pets😁
Brilliant Paul just perfect and this is going to make a lovely Xmas gift for my sister who lives in OZ it will remind her of the very cold 🥶 winters we have here ,at Xmas she will be roasting and not just a turkey either lol 🥵 I want this one on my wall too so I'm going to be busy ,thank you Paul for another great tutorial 🐈⬛🐈🐶
Oh your welcome Sylvia. The postage to Australia ( or is she at the end of the yellow brick road? ) will be a killer. Check first as I sent a couple of paintings to the USA and needed a sit down with a hot cup of sweet tea for shock. Maybe a smaller one on a canvas board would be easier to send too - Have fun and get those brushes working its less than 100 days to Christmas - oh bugger I've said the C word ... 😍😎
@PaulRansonArt yes your absolutely correct Paul the postage is a killer and a double brandy is called for lol ,however it's a special occasion (XMAS) looks like beans on toast for few weeks for me lol 😆 I will send it on 30x40cm canvas and try not to cram it all in ,certainly not a cabin unless it's flat packed haha 🐈🐈⬛🐶
Wow! This is a real coincidence- the last painting I did was great until I ran out of foreground space. It was frustrating but I managed to take a break and returned with a new plan.. thank you Paul! I also was (still am) mesmerized by Bob’s snow application too. I use this to also make sand on beaches. Your mountains are so gorgeous… and the painting turned out so nice, your interpretation makes me want to try some night time mountains… bravery test ahead! Have a great week! Wonder what’s going to be next? Any hints?😍✨🖌️🎨🤗
Hey Stephanie 😍Another fun reworking of a Bob classic which I hope you try. Running out of room often means I have to have a rethink. Sometimes its for the better too. Although the bears keep complaining I'm taking away their picnic spots! We're on a field trip today so maybe a little inspiration for the next video. 😃😎
Yes, I was very saddened by the mindless destruction of this tree 😥 What on earth is going on I wonder. I'll give this a slot on my to do list. Thank you for the suggestion - best wishes Paul 🙂

Yes, a little accidental art. Sometimes my palette looks a little better than my painting! One of my teachers used to smear the left over paint onto a sheet of oil paper and make butterflies and all sorts of designs. He made a happy $ at the craft shows with them.
@@PaulRansonArt Thanks for the reply. Yes it's funny how things go I have a sheet of 400 grit wet and dry and I use it to sharpen the points of my colour pencils. .instant jackson pollock lol .I enjoy you posts great fan of mr Ross .. Ps your paintings are wonderful. I love Your steam train on black gesso .so I am attempting the same but with pastels (my favourite medium) regards shaun
The $64,000 dollar question. TBH there's no direct equivelent. The two paints are complete oposites so its a case of experimenting with retarders to slow the drying times. Check out a range of acrylics called Atelier Acrylics from Australia. They use an unlocking spray to liquify dry acrylics for reblending - Good luck ! 😎
Hi - liquid black is an oil based paint and like liquid white and clear it can take quite a while to become dry to the touch. If its in a warm environment this may be a few days, but much longer if its cold. 😎
Hey no problem - its why I make them! A black canvas is exactly what I used to start my painting. Its actually a heavy paper ( lining paper from the DIY store ) painted with black acrylic and left t until completely dry before starting with oil paints. Acrylics are water based paints and must be dry as they don't mix with oils - Hope that helps @@josephzaitz2250
WHY DOES EVERYBODY COPY BOB ROSS PAINTINGS !!!!???? HOW ABOUT FINDING YOUR OWN PAINTING STYLE !!!! I DON'T SEE ANYBODY COPY REMBRANDT, PICASSO, GIGER, !!!!????
Hello Bengt. I gather from your comments that your a little frustrated. The answer is quite simple - its what Bob wanted beginners to do. The clue is the word 'beginners'. I'm sure if Picasso or Giger had made a TV show for beginners they would be copied too. Bob just wanted to provide a place for people to start their journey. To learn and get confident. Then to go on and develop their style. many millions have. I have too. Theres quite a few of my own paintings on the channel as well as the remastered versions of Bob's own work. I hope you can find a way to express your own art too. Kindest regards - 😃😎
Settle down dude. To me Paul's Bob Ross paintings are a much more refined version. Maybe like Bob's could have been if he had more time. I started painting in this style doing Ross paintings. Fastword 30 years now I can paint in almost any style.
