The first painting that I did was Bob’s very first one (season 1 episode 1). I found it pretty simple. The only thing that I had trouble with was the tree with the 1 in brush(maybe 2 in I can’t remember). Do you have any videos of painting trees with a 1 in brush?
Easiest... there are 2 that I can think of... both black canvas and could of been part of this list if it were the 12 easiest... lol... Winter Birch... and... a forest painting using white, black and gray gesso... let it dry and then colorize it.. or not... anyway.. Thanks for all your good videos
I was thinking about going through many of the Bob Ross paintings to see which ones seemed the most easiest to paint for a beginner. Thank you for doing my homework. I am now a loyal fan of yours.
Thanks for becoming a loyal fan. Let me know how your paintings go. If you are looking for a challenge - Then you can always try the hardest BR paintings seen here: th-cam.com/video/QqVRt4zAbgg/w-d-xo.html
So helpful. I am a beginner but have not done anything in 3 months so I'm starting over again and so glad to see these 10 beginner paintings. To build my esteem I'm going to start at NUMBEr 1 and up to 10. TKS
I took art for 4 years in my younger days. I have learned more from Bob Ross in 1 month than I learned in 4 years from my classes way back when. Thanks
After attempting to do one of Bob's paintings on my own, with an awful mess, I looked to see if there were an Bob Ross certified instructor's in my area. Much to my surprise I found one that taught classes a half hr away. The painting we done was #2 on this list "Old Home Place". It was well worth the $60 for the class, which included everything to do a 16" x 20" painting in 5 hrs time. The only thing we needed to bring was paper towels, baby wipes, and the will to learn.
I love this video. As a Bob Ross CRI, I'm often looking for easy beginner painters. This list is great, and I agree with your criteria on what makes a painting easy or difficult. Wonderful. Thank you.
I'm so glad I found you!! There are so many things that I've had struggles with but I've had some great successes too. Great job on your explanations and tips!! While Watching one you referenced to in this video, that light bulb in my head went off... you had talked about using a paper towel to wipe off excess paints to make better clouds, mountains, and pretty much make your paint stick better... Awesome!! Thanks! Also, yes I think you should do... (if you haven't already) top 10 hardest but also top 10 most colorful or least colorful as well...
Sorry for the late reply... I am glad that my videos are helping you out. The paper towel trick is OP for sure.... its a must. Tomorrow launches a Top 10 Hardest Bob Ross, so make sure you hit that follow button to know when it goes live.
I haven't even had time to watch the video yet, and I am freaking out. I have been hoping you would do something like this. I can't wait to see what you have come up with for examples. Thank you!
@@WildCreates I am definitely trying out Blue Moon. I have been terrified of the waves (in painting, not real life). This looks like the one to start with. I will eventually be trying all of them. This was a super helpful video. I also just ordered all the supplies to make acrylic liquid white and slow drying golden open landscape set. The smell of the oils was really getting to me. So I appreciate you mightally. Thanks man!
As a person who has watched just about every episode of Bob I have to agree for the most part. I can do mountains and sky and water pretty good but when it comes to grass and foliage I have some issues
I would I normally struggle with those parts most often too. If you like this list... get ready for the next video. It will be interesting to see what you have to say about that.
Love your tutorials! Until I developed an autoimmune and now cannot tolerate the odors of oil paint. Do you have acrylic tutorials I can follow? Thank you for sharing your time and so much talent.
Not sure if it would still effect your energy and abilties BUT you can take a look at working with water mixable oil.... You dont need an solvents ( so no vapors ) and much healthier BUT to my nose they have a slight vapor scent that isnt that great ( but I have a sensitive nose ). Research that and see. I hope that helps
Ha ha ha ha - everyone feels this way when starting out. When you dive in and practice your 2 left hands slowly transform into master hands.... BUT it takes practice. I am just glad that me videos are helping you out.
Good video. I agree that Steve goes slower, thanks for sharing I forgot about that video. I've been wanting to do a spring painting and you've given me a few choices. Letting things tacky up is an amazing hack for adding layers. I often do that for my mountains and I get way better paint breaks.
Hey Wild!!! I wanted to thank you for putting together the DYI kit for the Bob Ross painting style. I went out an purchased everything you recommended. I am attempting my first painting tomorrow, which will be the blue moon one. Thanks again. Carlos.
Hi just seen your channel and was inspired by Bob Ross to begin painting, however I use acrylics. He always made it look so easy but that was his talent along with his relaxing style and quotes!! ie " You can do it" etc. You also have a humerous and passionate style. Thank you.
Glad you found the channel - I have a few videos on here on how to paint with acrylics. I will attach one below for ya. Feel free to check out the rest: Paint like Bob with Acrylics: th-cam.com/video/LFqd-jj1lQ8/w-d-xo.html
I went straight in to Grandeur of Summer - the 1hr long special as my first ever. It turned out pretty nice but it took me a good 5 to 6 hours!! My favourite to paint was northern lights S8E13 which also had the same cabin from winter mist! I agree with what you said about skipping the cabin I really ended up caking a lot of paint on until eventually I was happy with it (found that bit quite stressful lol whereas the rest of the painting was a joy). My favourite finished painting is probably from following Ocean Sunrise S5E6 which was done by Audrey Golden and I didn't find super complicated. It has a nice feeling to it
This is also the video I am beginning with (as we speak). My very first oil painting. Managed to get the sky done, but when trying to add the clouds (white), it just mixed with the sky (blue). So frustrating.
I cracked up on # 9 when you said "women love girth". It put me in good mood the rest of the day. Is it possible that there are still " Bob Ross "kits" . It was what I used when I painted for the first time of my life. But also used a sty[e or book/magazine with instructions to look back over. I love the wet on wet technique which make the flow of the paint easier and mistakes are often easy to fix.By the way, I have no artistic talent and cannot draw a straight line. LOL
Well I am glad I can give you a giggle and make ya smile all while educating you he he he. They have a new BR Kit if you are interested in picking it back up.

LOVE this video. It is nice to see which episodes might be easier for the novice. I recently came across another video, Ocean Sunrise - Season 5, Episode 7 with guest artist Audrey Golden. It was pretty easy for a newbie. I admit, I missed Bob's calming voice, but the painting was easy for a beginner (like me). Thanks for your videos!
Glad it was helpful! If you are feeling adventurous - Then take a look at my top 10 hard bob ross painting video: th-cam.com/video/QqVRt4zAbgg/w-d-xo.html
@@WildCreates I admit, I already watched the top 10 hard paintings. Sadly, two were on the list my daughter and I want to paint, Night Light and Campfire. We just need a little more practice before we tackle Night Light. ;-)
Super awesome video, thank you so much for putting this list together! I'm definitely going to give a couple of them a try, especially now I know they're not as difficult as I thought. I'm looking forward to doing Blue Moon, I always loved that painting 💜
Blue moon is a great one. It’s an awesome overall landscape that feels approachable and non intimating. Let me know how it goes when you give it a try 💪
Yes you can. I haven't had a chance to cover it in depth on this channel yet... but i do have a few video on it. I will attach the playlist below for it th-cam.com/play/PL1j4vqU7W_o14Z_YPytXuYhgBtJUwEBSj.html
Hello: New to your channel and a new painter. Love your channel and loved your list. Will definitely follow your teaching on techniques. Thanks for being here. Sue from Canada
What a fun video! Tropical Seascape, Campfire, Cabin in the woods, Golden rays of sunshine and Evening seascape all seem like tough paintings to do, especially those ocean waves. The “foliage” comment was hilarious…I keep saying out loud to you it’s “foll E edge” not “foil edge” only bc I have a degree in Horticulture hahahaha. But I forgive you and love you! Quick question..Do you listen to Girth Brooks..err Garth Brooks while you paint? 😉
Glad that you like the video. I think making a Hard slash Difficult one would be fun... it would just take a while is all ha ha ha I don''t know what it is about that word... it gets me every time. Must be the handsome SoCal boy in me ha ha ha. And it will always be about that Girth, 100% Girth Brooks all the way 😂💪😂
Thank you for that sub love. If you are interested I also did the top 10 hardest BR paintings. Feel free to check it out here: th-cam.com/video/QqVRt4zAbgg/w-d-xo.html
Amazing video, gonna check out the one with Steve Ross. Also one you could do next is a Bill Alexander easiest paintings. His "A Morning Kind of Mountain" is an extremely good introductory painting in my opinion.
I think we all start that way... I know I did. You look at the final result and think OOOO that one looks great I will start there... Then it looks nothing like it at the end ha ha ha. Thats why I wanted to make this list of paintings that are more approachable :)
I watched the 10 hardest videos first. I’m 5 BR paintings in. It never truly occurred to me that some wjere harder than others I just chose my painting by eye appeal. Hence I’ve found my weakest points are waterfalls streams and rocks or walkways.
Thank you so much for this video! You have yourself a subscriber. Question about blue moon painting… he doesn’t mention using liquid clear after the gesso base, any reason why he doesn’t use it?
Thank you for the sub love and glad to hear that my videos are helping you out. I cant confirm but I am sure Bob is used LC at the beginning aka it was already on the canvas ( he just forgets to mention it ). After doing numerous TH-cam videos myself, you sometimes forget to mention things ha ha ha. Just to let you know you can do the painting without LC. Its just more difficult for newbies Sooooo use LC. Hope that helps.
I am subscribed. I just started watching and subscribed to your videos. I don’t understand do I put black gesso and let that dry then add a transparent color when I start to paint like the blue that Bob uses? I’m confused.
99% correct. Paint your canvas with black gesso ( let it dry completely, about 10 to 15 mins ). Then ad a thin layer of liquid clear. Now you can add your base colors like blue or red. Now you can start painting. When you paint on top of these paints. it will pull the base color forward making awesome colors and effects. I hope that helps.
The first painting that I did was Bob’s very first one (season 1 episode 1). I found it pretty simple. The only thing that I had trouble with was the tree with the 1 in brush(maybe 2 in I can’t remember). Do you have any videos of painting trees with a 1 in brush?
I kinda talk about trees a little bit in this video here - Near the middle and end. I plan on doing a full tree How To series. So hit that sub button to know what it goes live
Hey, thanks for another great video! I started watching Blue Moon on TH-cam and I didn't hear him mention what base coat he used. Does it have one? Also, does the canvas start primed with a black gesso? Hope I asked that correctly. Totally new to this. Thanks again! Love your very helpful videos!
I can't be certain if he used a base coat ( since he didn't mention it ) BUT I would recommend YOU use one if you just starting out. It will help you blend. Yes the canvas starts primed with black gesso. Glad to help you out. If you are need I would recommend you take a look at my videos below. It will help you a ton when starting off: Common Problems: th-cam.com/video/e1o6EeIPISU/w-d-xo.html Paint like Bob: th-cam.com/video/8OIMoi2DpN0/w-d-xo.html Start Right: th-cam.com/video/YNhIQSaECeI/w-d-xo.html
That sounds like many episodes ha ha ha. There is this cool website called: www.twoinchbrush.com/ You can search and filter episodes there. I hope that helps
You can get like 90% there with certain materials and paints. A little long to go into ( and I will make a video on it ) but you can use certain heavy body acrylics and certain mediums to make your paint act more like firm paint.
I dont have a dedicated video on that just yet, but could make one if you are interested. I do have a few videos where I do touch on that subject that can help you out ( I will attach them below). They should hold you over til then :) Improving: th-cam.com/video/YNhIQSaECeI/w-d-xo.html Common Mistakes: th-cam.com/video/e1o6EeIPISU/w-d-xo.html
Sounds like you are not working in the paint correctly. Take a look at the 2 videos below where I give some awesome mountain tips. I am sure they will help a ton: Better Mountains: th-cam.com/video/qZPWfIAy9mA/w-d-xo.html Simple Tips: th-cam.com/video/dJao3LQ70pg/w-d-xo.html
That is a great easy one too if you minus the cabin.... Some will also have trouble with the trees... which is why it didn't make my list BUT still a dope and good starter painting. Hope that helps
I want to do the seascape Blue Moon. One of the paints is phthalo green. Is there a substitute for that color that can be used? I am having trouble finding it without ordering it and I want to do now.
You can leave out the green and just stick with Phatlo blue. It will still work just fine. You can buy these like mini tubes of color from winsor and newton. Just get a Phatlo Green that way.... I think its only like 4 to 6 bucks at most :)
I guess bob painted each 3 times. One for practice, on during the filming ( what we see) and one even detailed done slower afterwards to show everyone.
Yeah... this is true. In fact one of the tips I give on my channel is to paint the same thing multiple times. It will really help you learn and grow with your painting skills
In the video bob says he has coated the canvas with Prussian Blue, Phthalo Green & van dyke brown in the corner. What I don't understand is how hes using the wet on wet technique here. Does he paint a blank canvas with the aforementioned colors and then immediately do the painting? Do I not use liquid black or liquid clear at any time?
Glad to help - He most likely already added LC to the canvas to save on time for the painting. Just paint your canvas black with gesso ( let it dry completely ). Then add a very thin layer of LC. Then add your base colors ( the aforementioned Blue, Green, Etc ) Now when you paint on top of those... those color will pull forward or give an undertone of that value. I hope that makes sense
@@WildCreates Yes, you make complete sense. Now I shall proceed in painting it! And because of you I've been watching Bill Alexander. His approach to the canvas is more attainable for me.
I recommend using gesso (paint it and let it dry) I have a few videos that go over why its important and some tips. Check out the videos below: - th-cam.com/video/vIl1gV8pkyM/w-d-xo.html - th-cam.com/video/P3K3ZcywA70/w-d-xo.html
That was one for consideration when I was making this list. However the reason I didn't add it was because the colors you use to layer can contaminate easily ( which will be rough for newish painters ) PLUS this is the first episode So Bob was still figuring out his groove and format. And the video quality is a little low ha ha ha
You do yourself a disservice with your innuendo. You have a good message your tips are helpful, your voice is pleasing and your paintings are great. Remember many of your viewers are women. Stop cheapening yourself with the sexual remarks. You don’t need them and we don’t either.
I disagree... its my channel and content. Everyone will have their own taste for what they think is funny or acceptable... If you don't find it to be either, you are welcome to watch someone else. I like to have fun on my channel and with the content I make. Which mean at times it will be in bad taste or to some rub them the wrong way... but that's humor and life.
Bob Ross landscapes are mostly done in oil. If you would like to do acrylic painting. Then take a look at this video to see how: th-cam.com/video/LFqd-jj1lQ8/w-d-xo.html
You can build one for cheap. the 2 videos below show you how: Hardware Knife: th-cam.com/video/7TDynMZxIYI/w-d-xo.html DIY Knife: th-cam.com/video/isGFzm2x-3M/w-d-xo.html
I forget which one it is off the top of my head but you can use: www.twoinchbrush.com/all-paintings?page=1 This will allow you to quickly search the painting.
the videos arent even available on youtube anymore. they took is free content to make even more money out of him and put them on subscribtion sites. wanted to paint my dad a bob ross painting as a gift.. but the ones that are available are hard ones... :(
Are you outside the US? I just checked and they are all there. I have a video on many places you can watch BR, check it out... might help you out: th-cam.com/video/OmvPuGH2u_k/w-d-xo.html
Just wanted to say, don't feel bad about mispronouncing "foliage." There is a game development TH-cam creator I watch where a running joke in his videos is his inability to say that word. Most of the time, he coughs rather than try to say it!
Sorry, but why would you want to paint like Bob Ross? I mean he was entertaining and stuff, but his paintings were the kind of thing that hang in cheap motels. He really was not a very good painter,
Like all art its subjective - You might not like it but others do and that's fine. That would be like someone judging & saying why would you build and paint models? Their cheap crappy version of the real thing. Everyone is allowed to have a creative outlet in life.
Your way of speaking is not appropriate to talk about someone who is as calm, composed and soothing as Bob Ross. You are not the only one, many think that it attracts attention, but in my opinion it does not attract people who follow Bob. I'm sorry ...
Well the good news is if you don't like my content you dont have to watch. There are plenty of other YT artist out there. I will be more than happy to point you to them
What do you think is the easiest or hardest Bob Ross Painting to follow along to?

Wild I enjoy your videos, can you do some of the techniques with acrylic products.
Yes you can. I haven't had a chance to cover it in depth on this channel yet... but i do have a few video on it. I will attach the playlist below for it
th-cam.com/play/PL1j4vqU7W_o14Z_YPytXuYhgBtJUwEBSj.html
I had no idea he had such variety thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Great video Wild. Very informative. Please consider doing a similar one for Bill Alexander. that would be very helpful.
Its On the agenda :)
Cool video my friend, can you tell us which video of the black ones he make there is good to begin with also it would be so nice kind regards Henrik
If you mean black canvases... then Number 1 in this video is the prefect one to try 🔥
@@WildCreates OK Thanks
You are welcome buddy - We will call it even by you smashing that SUB button.
@@WildCreates have done it are in your subs
Thanks bro :)
Wowwww........ Super super informative... 🥳🥳😍😍😍😍😍😍😍supreme content 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Glad to help you out 💪
For me it’s using the two inch brush because you have to clean it many times when changing different colors
Hello: New to your channel and a new painter. Love your channel and loved your list. Will definitely follow your teaching on techniques. Thanks for being here. Sue from Canada
You are welcome Sue.
Make sure to hit that sub button to see more awesome and helpful videos from me :)
What a fun video! Tropical Seascape, Campfire, Cabin in the woods, Golden rays of sunshine and Evening seascape all seem like tough paintings to do, especially those ocean waves. The “foliage” comment was hilarious…I keep saying out loud to you it’s “foll E edge” not “foil edge” only bc I have a degree in Horticulture hahahaha. But I forgive you and love you! Quick question..Do you listen to Girth Brooks..err Garth Brooks while you paint? 😉
Glad that you like the video. I think making a Hard slash Difficult one would be fun... it would just take a while is all ha ha ha
I don''t know what it is about that word... it gets me every time. Must be the handsome SoCal boy in me ha ha ha.
And it will always be about that Girth, 100% Girth Brooks all the way 😂💪😂
Thank you for all the help
You are welcome for all the awesome content 😝
Omg thankyou so much for giving me this list.
I love it, you just had a new SUBSCRIBER
Thank you for that sub love. If you are interested I also did the top 10 hardest BR paintings. Feel free to check it out here: th-cam.com/video/QqVRt4zAbgg/w-d-xo.html
Great video, as always, Wild! Thank you!
I am glad that you like it Mike
Amazing video, gonna check out the one with Steve Ross. Also one you could do next is a Bill Alexander easiest paintings. His "A Morning Kind of Mountain" is an extremely good introductory painting in my opinion.
I would love to do that - I haven't seen all of Bills videos yet. So that one will have to wait ha ha ha .
Thanks for the feedback on the video :)
Good stuff! I’ve actually tried a couple of those before. I’m very guilty of looking for the “pretty” ones to try, with less than desirable results.
I think we all start that way... I know I did. You look at the final result and think OOOO that one looks great I will start there... Then it looks nothing like it at the end ha ha ha.
Thats why I wanted to make this list of paintings that are more approachable :)
Guilty of that as well. Often, the final result is the trash and more stress, rather than less.
100%
I watched the 10 hardest videos first. I’m 5 BR paintings in. It never truly occurred to me that some wjere harder than others I just chose my painting by eye appeal. Hence I’ve found my weakest points are waterfalls streams and rocks or walkways.
Well I am glad that his video is perfect for you. I also did a top ten hardest. Give it a peek:
th-cam.com/video/QqVRt4zAbgg/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much for this video! You have yourself a subscriber. Question about blue moon painting… he doesn’t mention using liquid clear after the gesso base, any reason why he doesn’t use it?
Thank you for the sub love and glad to hear that my videos are helping you out.
I cant confirm but I am sure Bob is used LC at the beginning aka it was already on the canvas ( he just forgets to mention it ). After doing numerous TH-cam videos myself, you sometimes forget to mention things ha ha ha.
Just to let you know you can do the painting without LC. Its just more difficult for newbies Sooooo use LC. Hope that helps.
Great video - very helpful. Thanks
Thank you Leslie. I hope it helps you on your Bob Ross painting adventures 😝
Please explain the black canvas. Your Easy list helps. Please do a more in-depth technique video. I’m a new subscriber. Thanks for doing all videos
What do you want to know about a Black Canvas. If you sub to my channel you will see a bunch of videos that are perfect for new painters.
I am subscribed. I just started watching and subscribed to your videos. I don’t understand do I put black gesso and let that dry then add a transparent color when I start to paint like the blue that Bob uses? I’m confused.
99% correct. Paint your canvas with black gesso ( let it dry completely, about 10 to 15 mins ). Then ad a thin layer of liquid clear. Now you can add your base colors like blue or red. Now you can start painting.
When you paint on top of these paints. it will pull the base color forward making awesome colors and effects.
I hope that helps.
I also would like to ask is black gesso and liquid black the same
Great video Wild
Thanks King. I hope it gives you some ideas on tutorials to try 👍
You should do this for Bill Alexander next :)
I really want too. However, not all the BA episodes are available.
I could do it on the ones that are on his TH-cam Channel though.
Thanks so much! I’m saving this one for future reference.
This one will be great to go back too for future painting tutorial recommendations
This is such a really helpful video Wild!!!
Definitely giving these a go in the summer😁
This list took my a long time. So I am glad it can help you out on your adventures 💪
This is very helpful
Glad the video can help you out.
Brilliant thanks mate.
Glad you think so.... debating if I should do a top 10 hardest BR paintings ha ha ha
The first painting that I did was Bob’s very first one (season 1 episode 1). I found it pretty simple. The only thing that I had trouble with was the tree with the 1 in brush(maybe 2 in I can’t remember). Do you have any videos of painting trees with a 1 in brush?
I kinda talk about trees a little bit in this video here - Near the middle and end.
I plan on doing a full tree How To series. So hit that sub button to know what it goes live
So glad you ended with a beach scene, I'm tired of Mountains
I tried my best to get a good mix of everything.
I think I did a decent job of it.
Hey, thanks for another great video! I started watching Blue Moon on TH-cam and I didn't hear him mention what base coat he used. Does it have one? Also, does the canvas start primed with a black gesso? Hope I asked that correctly. Totally new to this. Thanks again! Love your very helpful videos!
I can't be certain if he used a base coat ( since he didn't mention it ) BUT I would recommend YOU use one if you just starting out. It will help you blend.
Yes the canvas starts primed with black gesso. Glad to help you out. If you are need I would recommend you take a look at my videos below. It will help you a ton when starting off:

Hi! I've been looking for the ep. where Bob uses black canvas, white gesso trees & bushes then adds oil colors. U know the ep.?
That sounds like many episodes ha ha ha.
There is this cool website called: www.twoinchbrush.com/
You can search and filter episodes there. I hope that helps
I would love to see a top 10 most difficult.
I was thinking that will be a fun one... It will take some time to make ha ha ha

The liquid white that bob paints his canvas all over first with do you buy it or dilute white paint
Its easier to buy.... but if you can't find it you can make it here: th-cam.com/video/TyKPBE_WBt8/w-d-xo.html

Being a newbie to painting (acrylic) i am wondering if bob ross' paint break technique on the mountains is achievable in acrylic
You can get like 90% there with certain materials and paints. A little long to go into ( and I will make a video on it ) but you can use certain heavy body acrylics and certain mediums to make your paint act more like firm paint.
Is there a tutorial out there showing exactly how to know how much paint to load into brush? How do these paints NOT muddy into each other every time?
I dont have a dedicated video on that just yet, but could make one if you are interested. I do have a few videos where I do touch on that subject that can help you out ( I will attach them below). They should hold you over til then :)

@@WildCreates Thanks, buddy 😂
Glad to help
Is there any tips for the snow? When I am adding snow to the mountains, it gets mixed with the mountain color. Is there any tip to avoid that?
Sounds like you are not working in the paint correctly. Take a look at the 2 videos below where I give some awesome mountain tips. I am sure they will help a ton:

What do you think about evening's glow
That is a great easy one too if you minus the cabin.... Some will also have trouble with the trees... which is why it didn't make my list BUT still a dope and good starter painting.
Hope that helps
@@WildCreates i did it yesterday and had some problems with the cabin but eventually i made it look good and the trees werent that much hard
I would love to see what you created
@@WildCreates where can i send you photo?
@@WildCreatesBut its not nearly as good as bobs
Can I paint all those with water mixable oils?.
100% you can 🔥🔥🔥
For the blue Moon painting, is there no liquid clear applied?
I am sure there is a little thin layer of it... Bob most likely forgot to mention it in the beginning
I want to do the seascape Blue Moon. One of the paints is phthalo green. Is there a substitute for that color that can be used? I am having trouble finding it without ordering it and I want to do now.
You can leave out the green and just stick with Phatlo blue. It will still work just fine.
You can buy these like mini tubes of color from winsor and newton. Just get a Phatlo Green that way.... I think its only like 4 to 6 bucks at most :)
I guess bob painted each 3 times. One for practice, on during the filming ( what we see) and one even detailed done slower afterwards to show everyone.
Yeah... this is true. In fact one of the tips I give on my channel is to paint the same thing multiple times. It will really help you learn and grow with your painting skills
I don't know if it's just a problem in the UK but there is only about four Bob Ross videos on the youtube channel...
I have heard that before with some EU people. The only thing I can suggest is using a VPN. Or if you have access to IP channels
@@WildCreates Great, thanks for answering all my questions this week!
Glad to help out buddy.
In the video bob says he has coated the canvas with Prussian Blue, Phthalo Green & van dyke brown in the corner.
What I don't understand is how hes using the wet on wet technique here.
Does he paint a blank canvas with the aforementioned colors and then immediately do the painting? Do I not use liquid black or liquid clear at any time?
Glad to help - He most likely already added LC to the canvas to save on time for the painting. Just paint your canvas black with gesso ( let it dry completely ). Then add a very thin layer of LC. Then add your base colors ( the aforementioned Blue, Green, Etc ) Now when you paint on top of those... those color will pull forward or give an undertone of that value.
I hope that makes sense
Also here is an old video on it that might help too:
th-cam.com/video/3DcXh6-1RHA/w-d-xo.html
@@WildCreates Yes, you make complete sense.
Now I shall proceed in painting it!
And because of you I've been watching Bill Alexander. His approach to the canvas is more attainable for me.
Cool let me know how the painting goes.
I think Bill is way more approachable - At sometime I will do a top ten of Bill Alexander.
@@WildCreates heck yes! Please 🙏 🙏 do! I would much appreciate that!
Thank you so much!
You are welcome buddy 😝
Do I just paint my canvas black and let it dry?
I recommend using gesso (paint it and let it dry) I have a few videos that go over why its important and some tips. Check out the videos below:

Love it, how about a Top 10 Wild paintings 😁… top 10 of your favorite personal paintings😎
Oh that would be a fun idea BUT a lot of the paintings I have done I sold or gave to friends. I might be able to slap something together 😝
Great Video Wild but you forgot one Season 1 Episode 1 A walk in the woods
That was one for consideration when I was making this list. However the reason I didn't add it was because the colors you use to layer can contaminate easily ( which will be rough for newish painters ) PLUS this is the first episode So Bob was still figuring out his groove and format. And the video quality is a little low ha ha ha
Yes this helps

You do yourself a disservice with your innuendo. You have a good message your tips are helpful, your voice is pleasing and your paintings are great. Remember many of your viewers are women. Stop cheapening yourself with the sexual remarks. You don’t need them and we don’t either.
I disagree... its my channel and content.
Everyone will have their own taste for what they think is funny or acceptable... If you don't find it to be either, you are welcome to watch someone else. I like to have fun on my channel and with the content I make. Which mean at times it will be in bad taste or to some rub them the wrong way... but that's humor and life.
Seems I was correct about you from the get-go.

Is it acrylic or oils
Bob Ross landscapes are mostly done in oil. If you would like to do acrylic painting. Then take a look at this video to see how:
th-cam.com/video/LFqd-jj1lQ8/w-d-xo.html
Title says top 10 but you said,after the first one, back to the top 5. Lol no big just thought I’d point that out. Great for beginners such as myself!
Where?
I do the first 5 of the 10, then take a promo break... then do the remaining top 5 to round out the 10 list
Well now I don’t see it! Perhaps I misunderstood,that’s always possible! My bad,I’m sorry.
Wine and whiskey can be a bad combo ha ha ha... Just kidding ha aha ha
Oh I’m sure it is! But,fortunately,I don’t drink. Just not my thing.
Merci infiniment 🌸🇫🇷
Thank you for watching 😁
What is mud mixing?
when you mix or layer too many colors together it will turn an ugly muddy brown. Ruining your vibrant colors
what happens if i dont have the knife he is scraping the paint with. what eles can i use/
You can build one for cheap. the 2 videos below show you how:

Glad I could help you out.
The girth comments were so unnecessary
Maybe your alter Ego wont find it unnecessary ha ha ha.
I appreciate your feedback and thanks for watching ❤
Just wanted to say, don't feel bad about mispronouncing "foliage." There is a game development TH-cam creator I watch where a running joke in his videos is his inability to say that word. Most of the time, he coughs rather than try to say it!
I dont know what it is with that word. My mind just goes blank every time ha ha ha
Great video except for the girth comment. 😮
Gotta love those girthy trees 😂
Not all women love gerth
Oh thank god :P
Why are Americans obsessed with the word super?
I would assume the Americana of Super Heroes embedded into our culture :)
Sorry, but why would you want to paint like Bob Ross? I mean he was entertaining and stuff, but his paintings were the kind of thing that hang in cheap motels. He really was not a very good painter,
Like all art its subjective - You might not like it but others do and that's fine. That would be like someone judging & saying why would you build and paint models? Their cheap crappy version of the real thing.
Everyone is allowed to have a creative outlet in life.
Please keep the g$&@! to off camera because I really like to watch your videos🤚
The what?
Your way of speaking is not appropriate to talk about someone who is as calm, composed and soothing as Bob Ross. You are not the only one, many think that it attracts attention, but in my opinion it does not attract people who follow Bob. I'm sorry ...
Well the good news is if you don't like my content you dont have to watch. There are plenty of other YT artist out there. I will be more than happy to point you to them
Great video wild
Thanks buddy. I hope it helps you with your Bob Ross painting adventures 😝
