I'm not sure what Bob would have enjoyed more; that he's still teaching people to paint decades after his death, that he's inspiring people all over the world, or how AWESOME your van looks after following his tutorial
"I am not him" I think it is exacly the message Bob Ross wanted to deliver by showing how he did his art. Inspiring you to grab a brush, and some paint to put on a canvas and make your own art.
@Kelton KehlGod doesn’t play it’s not a joke to Him! God bless you truly. Jesus is the only way. Without Jesus you are doomed in hell. Jesus died on the cross to save all from sin and death. “For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son that whoever shall believe in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.”

I'm super glad to see you sanded the panels down first before painting! I see alot of people paint beautiful murals on their cars on TH-cam, BUT they paint straight over shiny paint! I am an automotive spray painter myself and knowing that you went to the effort to sand first to give the paint something to adhere to, means I know all your hard work will last alot longer than most other similar projects that I have seen! Super well done! Your van looks awesome!
You fail to mention the lack of fine line use, the fact that she could have 400 gritted the panel instead of priming and cleaned, and from a lack of sanding the primer to create a mechanically etched surface to adhere to , she essentially created a worse surface to paint than if she just scuffed the black. And the lack of enough clear coat to create a smooth finish that can be cut and buffed. No hate coming from this way, she did an amazing job but from a painters stand point it was painful to watch lol
I absolutely looove how she didn´t try to sneak an ad in, all clever and sneaky. Instead she straight up said "Yo! Here´s an AD!". Bullshit level: zero. I love people who are straight up and direct and honest.
I've seen loads of "following Bob Ross tutorial" videos on youtube but this is legitimately the first one where I could easily believe the end result was actually Bob Ross' work. Absolutely amazing! (I know I'm over a year too late, I only now found your channel and I'm binging on your videos)
I've been doing that too. Found them a few weeks ago, and totally binging. I'm learning quite a bit about depth and highlights from watching Martina. Using colours that don't necessarily seem like they would make sense, but totally do.
You have managed to combine Bob Ross with the Van. Either this channel has reached its peak or its just the best channel on all of TH-cam. (We all KNOW it is, tbh)
@Hannah Bellamy look at the advantages for members. It sais "early access to videos". If you want to see videos before others as well, all you need to do is support their channel with 1-25€ per month. (You also get a flame behind your name and you get mentioned in one of their vids).
And it's among the best without all the click-baiting and drama, too! I wish that could be said of more channels tbh. I get way too distracted by the constant dumpster fires on TH-cam.
I'm honestly amazed at how this turned out... I'm also thinking....."Bob Ross probably passed away before this girls was even born...and here she is using his tutorial to paint an entire van..." That's what the internet SHOULD have been invented for.....
And it's being used as such. I, like probably thousands of creatives use YT and other platforms to learn techniques that would take years to figure out on our own. Lots of crap online but it's still treasure trove of information that it valuable. We all better use it to the fullest while we have it.

@Epic Droplets OFFICIAL Son, in whichever planet is it that you live, have you guys ever heard of poking fun at things people say? Try it sometimes, understanding that basic human concept will help you guys blend in more easily.
"he must have been the most chill person ever" Bob was a Master Sergeant in the Air Force and used his painting as a way to disassociate himself from all he yelling and anger he had and it worked tremendously 😁 he also hated his hair. He originally got that permed hairstyle because it was cheap to maintain but then as he gained popularity his hair became part of how people recognized him so he kept it.
What I love the most about these videos is that I automatically connected with my old self of self doubt. "I'm going to fuck this up, what am i doing, i should just stop, this is going to be horrible" but the truth is that even if it is horrible, the part that you need to get through is the scary part. In these situations, you're not worried about the result, you're worried about the process, and then when the result shines through, the reward feels so much better. To anyone watching, take the risks, make the mistakes, because trust me you will gain a whole new level of self appreciation.
Not an artist myself, but I spent countless hours watching Bob Ross with my grandmother. You did an amazing job and the van looks awesome! Good job, and I know Bob Ross would love it.
I have been completely awestruck this entire video by how amazing this turned out. I would suggest however that you might want to get your channel name on the van somewhere because everybody who sees this is going to want to know who did the amazing artwork.
I loved this whole video. I wanted to see more Clear Coat put on. As a mechanic, I screamed for more clear for protective reasons. I also know how a good clean, thick clear coat can make paint look SOOO deep. I was hoping to see you watch a video on clear coating or so on. I think it would have made it pop so much harder. Great result either way. Maybe in the future, you can "color sand" the clear down smooth, then shoot two more coats on it, then polish it. It'd look AMAZING. I've wanted to clear some of my own Bob Ross inspired paintings in automotive clear and buff them. X-D seems like an interesting project.
@@BrianOfAteionas Yep.... Ive used 2k clear from rattlecans and it holds up/looks great. Maybe she wanted it to still have that textured handpainted look but I would worry about that clear coat breaking down after a couple summers in the sun, It turned out great would hate for it to fade.
Definitely needs a thicker layer of clear as well as PLENTY of wet sanding and buffing to get it smooth like the rest of the van. Then the clear won't distort the paint with all those bumps and you'll get the depth @VicariousClouds is talking about.
@@deezdrama In the end, as long as you did the clear coat correctly, you'd end up seeing the "hand painted look" even better, the clear would create depth as explained before. Specially in the little valleys and high spots of paint. As long as the clear is thick enough, and smooth enough, you'll get nothing more/less than a deep clear that exaggerates the hand painted look.
I remember my uncle and dad telling me when they were teens they had a van and they painted the sides and back of it. It was in the 60's and everyone was doing it. I think this is so awesome and if you want to paint your van, car or truck DO IT!!! Just research on what to use and what you want to paint!!!
Yeah, there were some crazy fantasy art murals on the sides of vans and the fuel tanks of motor cycles all the way into the mid-80's in the part of Texas where I grew up. There was even a guy who painted his El Camino up like a zebra, adding a black and white very real looking bristly mane on the roof and a silky rope tail to the latch pull on the tailgate. Made me smile every time I saw it cruising around town. 😄 The Houston area is kind of famous (notorious?) for having a large number of "art cars" on the road thanks to the annual Art Car Parade. That's where you get to see the wildest of the wild. Some people have literally spent decades altering their art cars.
Fun Fact: Bob Ross loved animals and would often rescue and rehabilitate injured or sick animals directly on the set of TJOP, so basically when you watch, there is most likely a cute critter just off camera where Bob can care for them. He had a friend named Peapod the Squirrel who made many appearances, as well as birbs, raccoons, and even a baby deer one time. He joked that he wasn't manly or tough enough for actually hunting animals, so he would go on "hunting trips" where he would "shoot animals" with his camera... lol apparently he was so chill like actual Disney princess that wild animals often just approached him for some love and cuddles. He has loads of selfies with wild animals you can find if you dig for them. So yeah, Bob Ross was a pretty incredible dude. The most wild thing about him was that he was actually a Drill Sargent, the guy who screams at recruits and yells "GIMME 50 PUSH UPS MAGGOT!" and he was known as the meanest and most terrifying Sargent. He tells a story where he believed that he was being mean for a good reason to make them strong so they could survive, but after witnessing a grown man cry and have a mental breakdown because of him, he vowed to never yell or be mean again. Painting was his escape from the daily stress of being a Drill Sargent, he was stationed in Alaska where the landscapes were beautiful and inspirational to him, so he focused entirely on that and retired from the military. Bob Ross was truly an interesting and inspirational man.
Of all the projects I've watched that you both have done, including the Tomes, this is my absolute favorite. Bob Ross would be proud of you both for taking his "world" and making it your own.
I love how she’s all modest about being afraid to paint on the van and her painting skills and then she comes out whooping butt. Her talents are insane!!!
I thought “Oh that paint will eventually fall off.” Then she got out The Orbital Sander. When she said “I’m nervous. We’re committed.” I knew it was hardcore!
"I'm not made for this heat!" *wears shirt and short pants* seconds later... "It's too cold!" *goes inside to grab long pants and two (not one, TWO!!!) jackets.* You and my wife must be relatives...

"There are no mistakes." Bob Ross is definitely one of the most wonderful ppl that ever lived. Definitely one of my favorite. Great job!! U did him proud.🖤
Girl you have some mad skills, talent and a lot of guts, to do that painting on your van, just from following Bob's video. I'm sure Bob would be very proud of you. I think you did an awesome job on it, and on everything else you have taken on for projects.
Fabulous painting work, and it looks awesome on the van! Well done, and especially brave working with an unknown medium and substrate. I couldn’t help laughing when you said “I’m not built for this heat”, I have been saying that almost daily since we moved to Australia! 😂 (Vi är från Sverige/Finland) Another great video! 🤗👌🏻👍🏻🥳
Magnificent! I am not an artist, but even I would occasionally watch Bob Ross do a painting just because it was fun to see how easy he made it look. You did an incredible job, and Mr Ross would be honored to see your artwork.
I remember him saying that - my late mum ADORED him. When my late dad also passed away last year we found a small suitcase FULL of videos of Bob Ross' show. Made me cry as I remembered watching it with my mum. Such a beautiful human soul was Mr Ross and this van would make both him and my mum smile I think. :)
Same. I took my pup out to potty the other day - it was 109° felt 112° and a fire warning goes off on my phone. It felt like the intensity inside the oven. Less than 4 mins outside and my arms & feet were burnt... no joke. Some of us aren't meant for heat and that happens to me even when there isn't a fire warning.
Even funnier once you read this: In Norway the warmest time of year is generally late July where highs are regularly around 65.1°F (18.4°C) with temperatures rarely dropping below 51.6°F (10.9°C) at night. What would she do with 105°F (40°C)? lol It's currently 85° F (31° C) here in June.
@@eatmedrinkme9628 Seriously? haha Aww, poor girl. I live in Vegas, heat is what we do but I hate it. Temps like that here is cold, like ppl wearing full blown ready for winter clothes. Ppl don't realize Vegas goes from 100°+ for months to 1 week of 70's to rain for one week then back to high heats for 3 days and then 25°-45° for months. Our bodies don't have time to accustom to the drastic change. So the heat feels like we're cooking and the cold feels like we've stepped in a freezer. 80's can be hot if it's humid.
@@nanuq83 Humidity was in the high 70's% yesterday, it's 67% today. Yes the 80's suck at these humidity levels and these are cool days, the hot ones are coming. :D
Thanks for doing this video, it stopped me from going insane too soon. As an Australian living in Victoria, we are being enclosed by restrictions, even as I write this, as our 2nd round of COVID-19 makes its presence felt. All I want is to load our caravan and 4x4 and GO. It was awesome to see the fun you had doing your van - It may give me some ideas for the rear of our caravan... I'm up with everyone else here, loving your accent, loving the work you both do, and all the previous videos. It is a joy to watch you work, so please, keep up the brilliant videos, you have THE best channel here on TH-cam. Stay safe, n' stay well and I'll catch you in your next video ❤️🌹❤️
Congrats Martina! You did an incredible job on your first try! I've worked in cars a lot in my life and I absolutely despise painting cars but you made it not only fun but beautiful! Thank you for being so brave and wonderful throughout the whole process! You're truly an inspiring person, keep it up!!
***WOW*** I was just scrolling through TH-cam when I saw this post. You did an AMAZING JOB. By the Way, I live in the town where BOB ROSS was televised & my X wife works for that Channel and she met him before he passed years ago. She is now the Marketing Director for that channel and She actually has one of his Panting pallets. YOU did and EXCELLENT JOB. Many Blessings to you.
Hey....I don't know if I'm the only person who has ever done this but I have to recommend that when the video is speeded up during the painting part that you knock back playback to .25. There is something very surreal and performance-art like in watching the slower yet, time-jump nature of the painting with the music fully distorted. Very 1980s in sound but watching her execute the painting is enthralling. It's like a performance inside of a performance. Fascinating!!! Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention that the work on this van is GORGEOUS!!! A really wonderful piece of work.
Yeah I would be proud of that, it looks freeking amazing, love your work ,you have inspired me to paint again , haven’t picked up a brush in a long time, thank you. 💐💐💐 👍
Bob was a great man because his legacy is still very much alive. Fantastic 1st try on a big uneven canvas outdoors. True ten quality content I must say.
So here you are, driving out in the woods when suddenly...SMASH. Someone smashes into your van. You: Hey, What's wrong with you? Didnt you see my van? Driver: Umm, Actually, no.
when she said that she was going to paint her van using a Bob Ross video I thought, "Uh oh, she's lost her mind and how in the world is this going to look?" And when she took the orbital sander to it, I knew she had lost her mind!! lol I watched and knew this girl had some talent!! And I have to say, it looks beautiful!! Awesome job.
She must have been using the newer sanders that they use for final cutting and buffing. I would have wet sanded it with 400 grit and taken advantage of the rain! When I was painting airbrushed murals on cars in late '90's once the final clear coat went on...that was it. No buffing! Scary to watch today's car shows when they break out the air sanders on top of the fresh graphics or clear coat!
Well for someone that claims to not paint that well, you Did an A AMAZING JOB ON YOUR VAN!! I SWEAR the way you paint you have been painting All your life! You are very talented!
I'm old enough to have seen Bob "back in the day" and I've never been a fan of his work, though he makes painting look easy! Having said that, you did an AMAZING JOB on your van!!!! Bob Ross would be proud!
And remember: " There are NO MISTAKES, just happy little accidents ". Air Force Staff Sergent BOB would be hecka proud of you. Congratulations @Nerdforge.
Well, there's that and then there's the fact you don't want any... more impressionable kids to get it into their minds that something like this would be a great surprise gift for their parents. 😄
I wish Bob were around. He's a good man and he would have loved the art you create. I think TH-cam would have been something he'd loved to see people's artwork.
Speaking of cats, I see Inspector Cat showed up when the painting was complete to make sure she got it right, looks as if the cat approved. Cheers! Well Done
This is only the 2nd time watching you work. It’s so fun to see you so brave in what you do. First, your work is so good & so fun!!!! I love it!! Your not chilled as you said, but your fantastic! I love your emery enthusiasm & spunk!!! Thanks so much this made my day!!! Your very talented & brave! Whoot whoot!!💞💕☮️💟👍🏼👍🏽🌟🌟🌟🌟💝🌈
Van murals were a big thing in the ‘70s, so it’s nice to see a nod to nostalgia. And extra points for being inspired by Bob Ross rather than clichéd Frank Frazetta on your van mural.
i have no artistic ability and have seen almost every episode of bobs show, i am impressed, it actually looks like a bob ross painting....i starting to feel inspired

I remember my uncle and dad telling me when they were teens they had a van and they painted the sides and back of it. It was in the 60's and everyone was doing it. I think this is so awesome and if you want to paint your van, car or truck DO IT!!! Just research on what to use and what you want to paint!!!
Yeah, there were some crazy fantasy art murals on the sides of vans and the fuel tanks of motor cycles all the way into the mid-80's in the part of Texas where I grew up. There was even a guy who painted his El Camino up like a zebra, adding a black and white very real looking bristly mane on the roof and a silky rope tail to the latch pull on the tailgate. Made me smile every time I saw it cruising around town. 😄 The Houston area is kind of famous (notorious?) for having a large number of "art cars" on the road thanks to the annual Art Car Parade. That's where you get to see the wildest of the wild. Some people have literally spent decades altering their art cars.
Fun Fact: Bob Ross loved animals and would often rescue and rehabilitate injured or sick animals directly on the set of TJOP, so basically when you watch, there is most likely a cute critter just off camera where Bob can care for them. He had a friend named Peapod the Squirrel who made many appearances, as well as birbs, raccoons, and even a baby deer one time.
He joked that he wasn't manly or tough enough for actually hunting animals, so he would go on "hunting trips" where he would "shoot animals" with his camera... lol apparently he was so chill like actual Disney princess that wild animals often just approached him for some love and cuddles. He has loads of selfies with wild animals you can find if you dig for them.
So yeah, Bob Ross was a pretty incredible dude.
The most wild thing about him was that he was actually a Drill Sargent, the guy who screams at recruits and yells "GIMME 50 PUSH UPS MAGGOT!" and he was known as the meanest and most terrifying Sargent. He tells a story where he believed that he was being mean for a good reason to make them strong so they could survive, but after witnessing a grown man cry and have a mental breakdown because of him, he vowed to never yell or be mean again. Painting was his escape from the daily stress of being a Drill Sargent, he was stationed in Alaska where the landscapes were beautiful and inspirational to him, so he focused entirely on that and retired from the military.
Bob Ross was truly an interesting and inspirational man.
Of all the projects I've watched that you both have done, including the Tomes, this is my absolute favorite. Bob Ross would be proud of you both for taking his "world" and making it your own.
I love how she’s all modest about being afraid to paint on the van and her painting skills and then she comes out whooping butt. Her talents are insane!!!
I thought “Oh that paint will eventually fall off.” Then she got out The Orbital Sander. When she said “I’m nervous. We’re committed.” I knew it was hardcore!
"I'm not made for this heat!" *wears shirt and short pants*
seconds later...
"It's too cold!" *goes inside to grab long pants and two (not one, TWO!!!) jackets.*
You and my wife must be relatives...
MAH WYFE.
Wether has been crazy lately tho
@@kiri92azel Ours here in the NE US, too. It took spring about 5 false starts to finally settle in and then it moved on much too quickly to the "joys" of tick and mosquito season.
It's all women unilaterally. They have two degrees of comfort.
guess i'm female then
"There are no mistakes." Bob Ross is definitely one of the most wonderful ppl that ever lived. Definitely one of my favorite. Great job!! U did him proud.🖤
Girl you have some mad skills, talent and a lot of guts, to do that painting on your van, just from following Bob's video. I'm sure Bob would be very proud of you. I think you did an awesome job on it, and on everything else you have taken on for projects.
Seriously, is there anything you can't do? This is phenomenal! Bob Ross would be so proud.
Dude, that’s fantastic and fun! I love how you took Bob’s initial idea then went on your own adventure. Great work and thank you!
Bob ross would probably shed a tear over this awesomeness
Fabulous painting work, and it looks awesome on the van! Well done, and especially brave working with an unknown medium and substrate. I couldn’t help laughing when you said “I’m not built for this heat”, I have been saying that almost daily since we moved to Australia! 😂 (Vi är från Sverige/Finland) Another great video! 🤗👌🏻👍🏻🥳
Magnificent! I am not an artist, but even I would occasionally watch Bob Ross do a painting just because it was fun to see how easy he made it look. You did an incredible job, and Mr Ross would be honored to see your artwork.
IDK why you get so nervous. Your painting skills are out of this world.
because it's a van and not a canvas maybe?
5:28 next to this tree we have his little friend. Everybody needs a friend...
I remember him saying that - my late mum ADORED him. When my late dad also passed away last year we found a small suitcase FULL of videos of Bob Ross' show. Made me cry as I remembered watching it with my mum. Such a beautiful human soul was Mr Ross and this van would make both him and my mum smile I think. :)
I would love to see her continue the painting all the way so that it looks completely full
I came here to say that hahahah
Probably against the law to drive around in nature with an invisible vehicle.
@@larnregis 😂😂
Beautiful! I love her bubbly personality and her infectious humor! She is so talented at so many things!
"I'm being boiled alive, I was not made for this heat!" As a pasty blonde, you have my understanding and my sympathies. Still very funny, though :D
Same. I took my pup out to potty the other day - it was 109° felt 112° and a fire warning goes off on my phone. It felt like the intensity inside the oven. Less than 4 mins outside and my arms & feet were burnt... no joke. Some of us aren't meant for heat and that happens to me even when there isn't a fire warning.
Even funnier once you read this: In Norway the warmest time of year is generally late July where highs are regularly around 65.1°F (18.4°C) with temperatures rarely dropping below 51.6°F (10.9°C) at night. What would she do with 105°F (40°C)? lol It's currently 85° F (31° C) here in June.
@@eatmedrinkme9628 Seriously? haha Aww, poor girl. I live in Vegas, heat is what we do but I hate it. Temps like that here is cold, like ppl wearing full blown ready for winter clothes. Ppl don't realize Vegas goes from 100°+ for months to 1 week of 70's to rain for one week then back to high heats for 3 days and then 25°-45° for months. Our bodies don't have time to accustom to the drastic change. So the heat feels like we're cooking and the cold feels like we've stepped in a freezer.
80's can be hot if it's humid.
@@eatmedrinkme9628 Those look like the temps we see in Alaska. It does feel broiling hot, even when it shouldn't.
@@nanuq83 Humidity was in the high 70's% yesterday, it's 67% today. Yes the 80's suck at these humidity levels and these are cool days, the hot ones are coming. :D
Thanks for doing this video, it stopped me from going insane too soon. As an Australian living in Victoria, we are being enclosed by restrictions, even as I write this, as our 2nd round of COVID-19 makes its presence felt. All I want is to load our caravan and 4x4 and GO. It was awesome to see the fun you had doing your van - It may give me some ideas for the rear of our caravan... I'm up with everyone else here, loving your accent, loving the work you both do, and all the previous videos. It is a joy to watch you work, so please, keep up the brilliant videos, you have THE best channel here on TH-cam. Stay safe, n' stay well and I'll catch you in your next video ❤️🌹❤️
Bob taught me pretty much everything I know about painting, glad to see his advice lives on!
I was really scared for you when the rain came down! 😄 So glad it was fine. You did an incredible job! 👏😊
Congrats Martina! You did an incredible job on your first try! I've worked in cars a lot in my life and I absolutely despise painting cars but you made it not only fun but beautiful! Thank you for being so brave and wonderful throughout the whole process! You're truly an inspiring person, keep it up!!
This is one of the best "follow Bob Ross" paintings I've seen!
Looks even more dramatic and interesting than his (sacrilege). Congratulations!
***WOW*** I was just scrolling through TH-cam when I saw this post. You did an AMAZING JOB. By the Way, I live in the town where BOB ROSS was televised & my X wife works for that Channel and she met him before he passed years ago. She is now the Marketing Director for that channel and She actually has one of his Panting pallets. YOU did and EXCELLENT JOB. Many Blessings to you.
„Because the sun is here, and I‘m DIEING!“ pretty much the only mood I have during summer😂
If I'm ever stuck in a traffic jam, I hope your van is right next to me to mellow me out. That's a head-turner.
Says: mist
Paints: mist
What kind of sorcery is this!?
Hey, nice work! I'm impressed!
The man himself!
Thanks for the spoilers.
@@tobiasreiper371 its.....not a spoiler?
I am preparing to re-spray my wife's car due to some damage, and you have just helped me choose the colour ... all of them!
Hey....I don't know if I'm the only person who has ever done this but I have to recommend that when the video is speeded up during the painting part that you knock back playback to .25. There is something very surreal and performance-art like in watching the slower yet, time-jump nature of the painting with the music fully distorted. Very 1980s in sound but watching her execute the painting is enthralling. It's like a performance inside of a performance. Fascinating!!!
Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention that the work on this van is GORGEOUS!!! A really wonderful piece of work.
Your personality is equal to your art, both things are so amazing, I love your channel so much
Dad, do you want to see my drawing!?
Sure, where is it?
Its on the ca...*shotgun sounds
😂😂😅😅😆😆👍👍👍
Yeah I would be proud of that, it looks freeking amazing, love your work ,you have inspired me to paint again , haven’t picked up a brush in a long time, thank you. 💐💐💐 👍
Bob was a great man because his legacy is still very much alive. Fantastic 1st try on a big uneven canvas outdoors. True ten quality content I must say.
So here you are, driving out in the woods when suddenly...SMASH. Someone smashes into your van.
You: Hey, What's wrong with you? Didnt you see my van?
Driver: Umm, Actually, no.
A happy little accident.
This is really wholesome. I think Bob would be amazed how this has turned out. Looks really, really good.
when she said that she was going to paint her van using a Bob Ross video I thought, "Uh oh, she's lost her mind and how in the world is this going to look?" And when she took the orbital sander to it, I knew she had lost her mind!! lol I watched and knew this girl had some talent!! And I have to say, it looks beautiful!! Awesome job.
She must have been using the newer sanders that they use for final cutting and buffing. I would have wet sanded it with 400 grit and taken advantage of the rain! When I was painting airbrushed murals on cars in late '90's once the final clear coat went on...that was it. No buffing! Scary to watch today's car shows when they break out the air sanders on top of the fresh graphics or clear coat!
„Because I love complicating things...“
Me: relatable 🤷♀️😂
I feel sorry for birds when they fly into it.
It does need a happy little scarecat
This validates how good Bob Ross was at teaching and that his techniques will work - the van looks great.
Every time I try painting or just drawing, I end up with whole bunch of happy little accidents
Genius comment! Hope u get better.
Well for someone that claims to not paint that well, you Did an A AMAZING JOB ON YOUR VAN!! I SWEAR the way you paint you have been painting All your life! You are very talented!
I love it! It's such a cool painting!
No joke man if you got someone to do that you'd have to pay a lot.
My car caught fire so there's a running inside joke in my family about it being a dragon...
You inspired me to paint a dragon on it
I need to do this to my van. But first I need to buy a van.
I can paint it if you want...I hope me being colourblind won't be a problem...I can still draw very good in white and black
@@parishehner9993 f
Buy the paint first and practice on your neighbors car. You want to make sure you do a good job on your new van.
I already have a white van
I started the morning with a headache and after watching this it's melted away! 🤗
Wow just amazing, I love what you do! It would be interesting to see how the van looks like now after a year 😁
I'm old enough to have seen Bob "back in the day" and I've never been a fan of his work, though he makes painting look easy! Having said that, you did an AMAZING JOB on your van!!!! Bob Ross would be proud!
Bob Ross would love this! He would like "oh my gosh!" :D
That was fantastic, Bob is looking down and smiling, I'm insanely jealous, great work !!!
I always love when people custom paint their Van's, from fancy Bob Ross paintings, to just a few friends and some spray paint
And remember: " There are NO MISTAKES, just happy little accidents ". Air Force Staff Sergent BOB would be hecka proud of you. Congratulations @Nerdforge.
She took the "I did a Bob Ross tutorial" trend to a whole new level
Saw video thumbnail: OH GOD NO!!!
Watches video: HOLY CRAP! THAT'S AMAZING!!! ❤️❤️❤️🎨🖌
Gorgeous. He would be really proud of your work using his tutorial. Way to go! You are so talented.
Fantastic, proportions and the way the water falls over the wheel and you give depth to the painting Fantastic work.
“It’s not bad it’s okay” me: 😳😳 wow so good

*Drinking an energy drink*
Me: "Well... there's one reson y u clarify that this content isn't made for kids... Bruh moment right there!"
Well, there's that and then there's the fact you don't want any... more impressionable kids to get it into their minds that something like this would be a great surprise gift for their parents. 😄
I wish Bob were around. He's a good man and he would have loved the art you create. I think TH-cam would have been something he'd loved to see people's artwork.
That came out great! Beautiful painting!
Speaking of cats, I see Inspector Cat showed up when the painting was complete to make sure she got it right, looks as if the cat approved. Cheers! Well Done
This is only the 2nd time watching you work. It’s so fun to see you so brave in what you do. First, your work is so good & so fun!!!! I love it!! Your not chilled as you said, but your fantastic! I love your emery enthusiasm & spunk!!! Thanks so much this made my day!!! Your very talented & brave! Whoot whoot!!💞💕☮️💟👍🏼👍🏽🌟🌟🌟🌟💝🌈
Van murals were a big thing in the ‘70s, so it’s nice to see a nod to nostalgia. And extra points for being inspired by Bob Ross rather than clichéd Frank Frazetta on your van mural.
Love it!
Amazingly good result. I love your raw and honest presentation style too.
Happy camping
Clearly, she knows her way around a paintbrush ...
you mean a p****** bush.
@@vysearcadia522 huh
Next, on Nerdforge: Painting with Martina - Martina Bob Rosses the exterior of their garage! Stay tuned!
😂
i have no artistic ability and have seen almost every episode of bobs show, i am impressed, it actually looks like a bob ross painting....i starting to feel inspired
