@@WildCreates "its like looking in a mirror! Not this package ladies, THIS one" hahaha did you for real used to be a underwear model 🤣 hey, u never know dude, I've got some crazy past-life endeavors that no one would ever believe 😜
@Derrick Cohee Funny enough - I was a fashion photography for about 10 years - When the male models didn't show up or had to leave early.... Sometimes I would have to step in and be the model for some shots/scenes. And sometimes the products I had to show off were underwear. So its somewhat true ha ha ha!
Baby wipes are awesome - I use them for everything. I talk a little about them I think in these 2 video here: Cleaning Hands: th-cam.com/video/miq3hceSOBs/w-d-xo.html Cleaning Tools: th-cam.com/video/k1wM8_illII/w-d-xo.html
AHHHH - Love that! I have heard but never tried yet - Certain body lotions do the same thing. Thanks for this awesome tip. I will have to give it a try because I am curious if it makes it harder to hold a brush 😝
Its best to stay indoors under these weather conditions and paint ,I've just finished a painting of a cowboy by a campfire it definitely helped warm up my room .
You got it. I would love to show you all how to make a simple wall drying rack BUT my garage is filled with Halloween decorations at the moment 😂, so no room to build anything. I will see what I can do in an upcoming video
I love these common sense things, I'll share one with you; buy an old salad spinner from a charity shop/ carboot sale, when cleaning your big bob ross brushes, after rinsing it off in thinners, pop it in tha salad spinner, and give it a good going at, and the brush is dry enough to reuse instantly, and the run off can be disposed of without contamination of the clean thinners!
That such a unique idea. How do you stop the paint, thinner or spirits from being pushed into the paint brush ferrule though? I might have to play around with this.
@@WildCreates the g-force of the revolution seems to stop it from travelling up into the ferrule and wicks it out of the bristles into the spinner, has been my experience? Tip get one with a wide enough diameter to get the brushes laid down flat in the basket..I took my brushes with me to measure before parting with my £1.50!
Nice hacks, definetly usable. I had a canvas with a small crack so I put a label/sticker on the back side and gave it an extra layer of gesso. Can you give me a tip for an easy way to make a frame. I thought about maybe using skirting board or some kind of angle/edge board
Nice little hack there - I like to use a spare piece of canvas and use Mod podge to seal the cracks or holes. I plan on doing a video with my friend on how to build simple and cheap frames - It may have to wait til after the new year though as my garage is over run with holiday decorations at the moment ha ha ha
Hi Wild thnx 4your usefull tips nd tricks I wonder, do you know what to do to avoid the top of the tube of oilpaint getting stuck...? I had some trouble opening my tube of paint ... also the same with Bob's magic white and magic clear container... it got stuck almost like glue... Love your vids btw many thnx
That just happens when the paint starts to dry when your capped is not sealed correctly. When you are done using your paint for the day, make sure you wipe the cap and the tube threading clean. This will allow it to seal tightly and stop the paint from drying on the threads of cap.
I've seen videos on brush cleaning some say don't clean then unless your not going to paint for a month others say to just use s brush dip and let them sit and others have said was with soap and water after you have dipped them in brush condition. What is your thoughts
Many thoughts here (hopefully I can keep it short ha ha ha)... best answer is do what your think is best for you and your supplies ( so basically experiment and test). However if you want my personal opinion (which is just my own thoughts and theories BTW 😜) I have spent a lot of money on my supplies SO I want it to last as long as possible. For my natural bristle brushes - I dip my brushes when done painting then pull all the color out with tools (like racks, palette knifes, and towels), after that I will use a brush soap and conditioner on all my used brushes. Then I shape me brushes and let air dry. I do this every time IF I am painting more than like 3 to 5 days apart. Because 3 to 5 days can turn into weeks because life gets in the way (so best to have your brushes prepped) If I was painting the next day. I would only clean with thinner, pull colors out with tools, then air dry. (natural bristles again) For all my synthetic brushes, I clean them with brush soap and luke-warm water every time, even if i am painting the next day. Hope that helps some.
To those following along, the paper towels that Wild suggests, shop towels, can often be found in automotive sections of departments stores or you can go to an auto parts store and find them or order them in bulk online.
@@WildCreates true but you mentioned taking your paints with you on the road and it's always a wise idea to know where you can buy some things while you're away from the net. Just in case you're painting in the great outdoors and suddenly find yourself in need of paper towels you should know where to go to stock up fast and easy.
I love the bungee tip, very smart. But I do have an issue with so many tips that involve single use plastics.... I'm wondering if anyone has an alternative to ziploc bags for separating thinner, like some type of reusable wax food bags? I'd be curious to know. Otherwise I love your videos and appreciate your lame humor 🤣👍👍
I have never used reusable wax bags before BUT maybe I will give that a try and see. I would say if the plastic bags are an issue, you could always have 2 buckets for your thinners. When you are done painting for the day, let the dirty thinner bucket sit for 24 to 48 hours. Then separate the thinner layers, add the used clean thinner to the new bucket and wipe clean the old used bucket. This way you can swap back and forth on the same 2 buckets - saving on plastic. Its a little more work but doable. Using this tool in the video below will make it super fast too. Changing Thinner: th-cam.com/video/R6Fy13Zs-BM/w-d-xo.html
@@WildCreates yes I actually have 3 buckets. One for dark paints, one for lights and one for a final rinse. Thanks to your videos I've been able to save my thinner, something I knew nothing about! Thank you for your great tips, I look forward to more!
Been painting on and off for decades. Baby wipes in those plastic containers get oil paint off your hands. I can't believe they use them on baby's bottoms.
Hot in California, I heard that in summer season it get so hot that french fries stand are close during the summer season, is it true? Meanwhile our french fries stand are closing for this coming winter. It’s getting colder in Canada.
Never really heard of solo fry stands here in SoCal. Hotdogs, pretzels and fruit stands are more the norm here. But I would be 100% down for a French fry stand 💪
The singing alone made me like this video. The tips are great too.
Awesome! Thank you!.

I use the plastic linen bags for my shoes and liquids when I travel.
Oh that’s a good one too.
All my mens shoes normal just come wrapped in tissue paper.
I put painters tape on the brush tray of my easel that way when it gets dirty I just pull it off and put new on
Great minds think alike.
I use saran wrap and wax paper for the same reason.
I love your channel and all your tips, I also put the painters tape on the ledge where the canvas sits
That is a great way to keep clean edges on your canvas :)
Thanks for this tip! I'm a beginner and was trying to come up with a solution for this.
4:47 omg!! I love this one! The zip plastic bag for oil paints is brilliant!
Thank you for all the tips.
First time watcher … that was frickin awesome !! Thanks ! ✌️

@@WildCreates 😆🤟 that's fantastic! cool my man 💪 that hair I'm sure helped lol
It paved the way 😂😂😂
the papertowel hac kis also great for plein air painting.... as long as it isnt too windy
Just use a paper clips ( 1 or 2 ). Slide them in on the side and the wind wont effect it

AHHHH - Love that!
