It would be cool if you tried to do one but without the visual. I think only following his directions through audio could give you a lot of creative freedom and it would be fun to see what you thought he was describing vs. what he actually did. It might also be a good comprimise between the viewers who want follow alongs and the ones who want free style painting. This is a fun concept though, makes me want to paint along with you guys. I would definitely watch more!
Yeah, I really like his art, and also really like his videos, but him trying to match his painting with what Bob was painting was kinda painful, especially every time he said it looked bad. Their styles are so different that It just wont match, but like you suggested, just listening will leave him with a lot more room for creativity and his own style.
He did do this! He made a video from this idea about a year ago. The vid is called "Trying to paint a Bob Ross without watching Bob Ross paint the Bob Ross I'm painting"
The commentary is what made this video! You showed that painting isn’t all ‘soft voices and perfection’ a lot of the time it’s flapping and disorganised but you still get a great piece of artwork at the end. 🙂
You did make a great painting dude - like genuinely amazing painting. I was watching and while you were beating yourself up and getting frustrated, I was just in awe at how natural the brush strokes were in your hand, you've clearly developed the discipline to get the right strokes. Specifically when you were laying down the field color on top of the center there, it looks great! [Been seriously doing art for a few years now, studied it in college too, constant studies, with only a bit of painting - so I know what I'm sayin' here lmao]
Would love Kryoz painting prints! I can already imagine being able to wake up every morning, look over at my wall, and exclaim “fuck you tree” to start the day
Love to see more art and painting! I'll always enjoy watching these videos. And on another note, I really liked how you had different camera angles, it adds a bit more depth and made the video feel more dynamic!
I'm an acrylic person too lol I don't have the patience for oil to dry lmao. I found putting acrylic paint in one of those dollar store palettes with the separate pots for colours, and adding a bit of water to each paint and stirring that together, then using THAT to paint, helps you blend it out a little bit more. I heard gouache has an acrylic/watercolour feel, that might actually be neat to use
I've been binge watching your art videos lately. It's inspired me to buy some new paints and supplies. I haven't painted in probably 10 years. I love these videos.
ANOTHER ART VID LESGOOO! Im genuinely so excited for these videos everytime its insane Gives me so much joy. Keep the art videos coming John i love em This is motivating me to paint again!
Always been my favorite RU-vidr and has been one of my favorite types of videos for you. Honestly you inspired me to actually attempt painting for fun and I actually enjoy it!! Thank you for being you and doing what you do
I had an idea come to me once you "lit the tree on fire". Try taking a personal piece you weren't too happy with, or one you "just can't seem to finish" and put tape over top of it in select patterns, cover everything in white, follow a Bob Ross episode, and once it's finished, peel off the tape and have your art peek through. Could be interesting, could be terrible. Once you peel the tape you could also paint along the tape line edges and make it seem like one piece is cracking/ripping/bleeding into the other.
This is an accurate representation of what my internal monologue is like when I paint with Bob. It's a process, I know, but dude just creates life out of nothing while I make a few blobs that might look good if you squint real hard. I will say with practice I am getting better though. I do love painting though. Maybe I should get out the paints again...
Probably to late for the man to see it, but I would love to see a painting video with a red light or something like that so you can't Probably identify colors, with your style of painting to make it even more abstract, love the content and hope you keep it up. Hopefully I explained my idea good enough
As someone with adhd (probably) I feel like this would be my exact experience if i ever tried following a Bob Ross tutorial I'll keep falling behind bc my shit wont be in order before i start 😭
Bob is a calm, sweet man. But he would be fuckin L I V I D if he knew the owners of his recodings where copyrighting artist doing paint alongs. He would love to see other artists and non artists just stumble through trying to recreate his works for fun. Cus that's what he wants. He wanted to spark joy from art. People suck I can't wait for the apocalypse so I can regress to nature.
