You are definitely Bob Ross number 2! Brilliant artist with that gorgeous voice. So glad I’ve just discovered your channel. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent 🥰👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I have been using the Bob Ross technique for some time now. I do enjoy following his tutorials as well as MANY of his creations. I must say, however, that your renditions offer a different perspective with more detail and vibrant color. I am a fan of your work and look forward to enjoying more of your presentations and instruction. Thank You for sharing your ideas and talent.
Hi Joe - thank you so much for the kind comments. Bob's paintings have been my source of inspiration for over 20 years as a full time instructor. I'm delighted to hear my take on Bob's work is hitting the spot. I'll add a few new paintings along the way to show how his techniques can be adapted for our own original works. Happy Painting - Paul
Did it. I was concerned that the rays would be the tricky bit ~ and they were. They definitely need to look like they all have the same small center part and splay out. Mine were too parallel so there was a lot of removing and redoing, but in the end, I felt like it was better. Love "working with you." Those of us who are beginner-beginners really need stuff broken down to the wee bits! I'm so high strung that it's all very stressful for me. You help calm me down ~ especially when you offer insider tips (like finger smudging.) Thank you!! I'm stateside so I can only send you a virtual coffee. *clink!*
Hi Sue, sounds like you've had a wonderful time. This is what I love to hear and makes all the effort to produce videos so worthwhile. I'll be doing my best to include all the tips and tricks I've learned in future videos. Thank you for the virtual coffee clink back p.s. The coffee cup link works world wide - Paul - I have to go because Poppy Cat wants my chair 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Paul! My wife and I followed and painted along with you on another tutorial and entered the paintings in our local County Fair. She received a second place ribbon, I got a first, and best in class. Thanks again!
Wow thats awsome - so good to hear you're both doing well with your paintings. Now I hope you told her she's the best and bought her a nice bunch of flowers. 🤩🤗😃 Happy painting - Paul
Its the first time I have watched you painting, you have a calming and reassuring voice which is inspirational I will definitely follow your work and will use the techniques you demonstrate to improve my artwork, kind regards Frank
Thank you so much 😀Frank for your kind comments. I hope to see you for more of my videos. I try and make one each week. I'll be using different styles and materials as time allows. best wishes Paul😎
I have recently taken up painting as a hobby and need to learn so much. I love how you explain how to paint during the process in your video. This is what gets me excited to try new things. Your art looks amazing, Thank you
Omg I have always loved painting Bob Ross . Not done any for awhile. Seeing you and the new ways have really inspired me to go again. I am very excited to try this painting. I love your banter. And your funny ways that make your videos so extra special for me xxxx wish I could show you what I have done
Thak you so much for watching and leaving a lovely comment. I'm also excited to have insoired you to have a go. Thats a real bonus for me and the reason why I create these tutorials. As for the humour - well if I don't laugh at all my mistakes then I'm doing something wrong. And as the immortal Ken Dodd would say - "Did you know that a laugh is something that comes out of a hole in your face? Anywhere else and you're in dead trouble!" Have a fun day - Paul 😎
Well done for getting started. How did hubbies painting turn out? I remember my first attempts were, well .. awful so your doing better than me😍😍 @@gwenny1000
Mesmerising and magical to watch Paul - this forest scene is sooooo beautiful. I love those green colours with just the right amount of vibrancy in those soft shafts of sunlight. What a treat to watch, and I'm sure anyone could paint this with your expert guidance - thank you 👍😀
Hello Paul, another amazing tutorial. I like the way you started the whites with sponge and then filled with blue and greens. Absolutely beautiful technique. Learning a lot from you. Big like 😍❤️❤️❤️
Hi there Pam 😃So pleased to have connected with you. Have a go at this painting. Its a great starting point if your new to oils. I have lots more as well. Enjoy the channel - Paul 😃😎
Hi Hugh - this is definitly one of my favourite paintings for a beginner or even an experienced artist looking for a fun project. Hope you get a chance to try it 😃😎
Thank you so much. Some days a painting just flows from the brush. This was just such a day and I'm pleased to have captured it on video. Have a great day 😊😊
Thank you so much 😀Nancy. They we're always but after a little practice I've certaily impoved. But it was a wonderful journey despite the odd (often maybe) fail. The biggest bonus for me was to be able to teach for over 20 years and to meet and connect to other folks who also wanted to learn and enjoy painting. Happy Painting - Paul 😃😍😎
Thanks for watching and asking a question. There is a specific order in which acrylics and oils are applied. Oil paintings need a sealed surface so are primed with either gesso or acrylic paints which are water based. These are left to dry completely and seal the surface. I then use layers of acrylic to under-paint some scenes. Again these must be left to completely dry. Then I can paint in oils. Once oils have been applied no water based products can be used as they wont stick to the oil. Hope that helps - Paul 😃😎
This is stunning! Would this work without switching to the oils and just do the whole thing in acrylic? I’ve only ever painted in acrylic and hope this magical technique would still work for me🤞
I think you should give it a go. The Black and white version looks great and if you use a thin layer of drying retarder it might give you a similar effect as the transparent oils. Maybe try a test on an old canvas first. Let me know how it goes 😁
That’s crazy. I have to admit I’ve never seen anyone do a black and white painting then choose to transform it with colour. You also have an interesting sense of humour. lol
haha Ron. Glazing a black-and-white painting is a fun process. I wonder if it's possible in Procreate? As for my humour. Well, I guess If I laugh at myself I'm beating someone else to it! 😃🤔🤗
@@PaulRansonArt Actually it is. In either the brush or the layer you can drop the opacity to whatever you like. If you use the layer, you can move the layer behind other stuff you’ve already painted. Very handy. I get laughing at yourself first. I did the same thing for years before I stopped giving a damn. Defense mechanisms help greatly.
@@PaulRansonArt This is going to sound really stupid. Wondering if you’d be willing to help out. Should be crazy easy for someone of your obvious skill. I’ve been picturing a campfire forming into a woman’s body. Still all fire. Well, a mixture of smoke and fire. I’m hoping if I can see it made, the image might go away. Sounds dumb, I know. I can only equate it to a tune in your head that just won’t go away. I had the circus tune in my head for the better part of two weeks. All day every day. How I didn’t go on a rampage I’ll never know. lol
Do you do any surface preparation such as Gesso and/or primer? (Apart from Liqud White, which I DON'T enjoy using.) I don't like the way the liquid white dilutes the colours. I like to keep mine transparent and vivid, NOT diluted. I tend to use glazing techniques.
As I tend to use my own DIY paper canvases they always need a couple of coats of gesso to seal them up. Most canvases come pre-primed but thats no guarantee its been applied well. Unless it's a brand I know well I always apply a coat of gesso. I love both the Liquid White and clear depending on what I'm painting. But I say do what makes you happy. - Paul 😃😃
Beautiful landscape composition - love how the rays creep through the trees Big Like👍🏻 Really enjoyed the content - Great work thanks for sharing 🎨 👍🏻 👩🏻🎨
I use an old canvas as a backer. I made some Getting Started with Oils videos that show you how. Here's the playlist th-cam.com/play/PLia0kTctmZ_dpScJTWRBQGJfA2n9sNNOH.html - Happy watching
@@PaulRansonArt I have to admit that I wrote my comment before you started to use oil paint. At first I was like oh okay, thats sad cause I dont own any oil paint and I have no experience with it. But when I saw your magic - the way the sky got blue without harming the trees - I decited to make a new experience. I bought some tiny oil colours and the clear liquid online. I can't wait to experiment and to learn how to do this Magic by myself 😊 sorry for my poor language, english isn't my first language
@@keneit No problem your english is great BTW. I'm doing some more of this style of painting as we speak so you'll get to see more paintings you could do with oils. You might even design some of your own! 🤗🤗🤗🤗
@@PaulRansonArt Thanks 😊 And I'm really looking forward to see more of this amazing technique. Your explanations are very good, easy to understand and to follow. 😊
Hey, Paul. Thank you very much for your videos. They are great! Your workflow and speed are spot on. You go into great detail and give us more than adequate instructions and how to's. The top tips are great as well! Your humor is always very enjoyable. Please keep up the great work! Is there a way I can upload and share my version of this tutorial?
Hi Bob - thank you so much for the kind comments - you even like (suffer maybe) my humour - always a bonus! Now if you checkout the links you can post your version on my Instagram page. I'd love to see how your doing - Paul 😃😎
How beautiful Paul! I received the black gesso I’ve ordered and plan to give it a go on Christmas Day. I’m hoping to create a little gift for my wife. This will be my first painting on an actual canvas. I’m not expecting much. But I’m looking forward to painting along with this video.
Brilliant Robin. I'm sure you'll produce a winner and she'll be delighted. Top tip - if there is a small detail or point you know could be better keep it to yourself. You wife won't see it and more importantly, she won't care. Its a lovely gift from you so she'll love it anyway 😃 Merry Christmas - Paul 😄😎
I came from Robbie's channel, wow this was a great tutorial video, I like how everything came together and the end result is awesome, I wouldn't mind taking a walk through that forest 😊
Thank you Mike - I'm pleased your finding my videos helpful. Just getting started can seam such a hurdle for folks. I'm painting some fun paintings for beginners or kids today. They can personalise them too. Lets see what I make this Sunday- Paul 😃😎
Wonderful! You'll have a lot of fun for sure. If you want maybe post it on my Facebook page (link in the About Sectionon my channel). I'd love to see how you get on😊😊
Great tutorial. I tried one following along and mine looked great in B&W and less stellar in color. Is there any way to contact you so I can show you my results? I totally understand if that's not something you do/want. Thanks!
Hi David - I often like my monochrome versions more than colour too. I have a bunch of B&W wildlife paintings that haven't made it into colour too. Look on my 'About' page and there's an email and links to my website too. Contact me either way. 😃😃
I don't see why not. You'll need to use something like water mixable linseed oil very thinly in place of liquid clear. Then everything else is the same 😀😀 .
Absolutely beautiful painting. I have a question, I only have acrylic paints, do you think the oils part with the liquid clear can be replaced with acrylic retarder medium and then more acrylic paint for your oil part? Thanks in advance.
Hi Robin thanks for stopping by. TBH I don't know. I've used acrylics a lot but not particularly as a glaze. I think I would test a few colours first. The retarder would propbably work in place of the liquid clear as you suggest. Applied thinly over a dry acrylic background then try a few colours. Pigments that are more translucent in nature are: permanent rose, permanent crimson, alizarin crimson, dioxazine blue, ultramarine, pthalo blue, Prussian blue, viridian green, terre verte, sap green, burnt sienna, raw sienna and raw umber. Yellows are tricky because most are opaque. Play with Indian yellow would be my best guess. have fun amd let me know how you get on - Paul 😃😃
@@PaulRansonArt thanks Paul for your reply I will give it a go. Do you have more videos where you mix acrylics with oils in your channel? You got a new subscriber btw ❤️
Perfect! Its great to hear your getting involved with your kids and having fun with art. Sounds like you have a little work to do on the pickle front --- all part of the joy - best wishes Paul 😍😎
Hi Eric - thank you so much for the Super Thanks. I spend all the money raised on supplies for future paintings. So your kind deed will be part of a new video. If you have a favourite Bob Ross painting please let me know and I'll add it to my list of future paintings! - Paul😎
Hi Jackie - no problem. You can use black and white gesso or black and white acrylic or any combination of the two. Just use what you have to hand. They all play nice together. 😀😀😀😀
Great question! Acrylic paints are extreamly tough and bond well with most surfaces. I've got a number of oils I painted over 25 years ago and they're still perfect. Not a crack or flake in sight. Hope this helps 😃😎
Thank you I really appreciate it!~ another question! The lining paper you use which brand is it? I am having trouble finding some in the US on amazon for a good price do you think you could help?@@PaulRansonArt
Oh my gosh! This was my very first painting on canvas. Before that I was relegated to old cereal boxes. The only real problem was painting the branches thin, clear and pristine, like yours Paul. Well, practice makes perfect. Back to the cereal boxes! 😅
Hi Robin - I used to paint on anything - now I use my DIY lining paper 'canvases' so much its strange to paint on a real canvas. As you'll often hear 'practice makes .... progress' - Happy New Year and thank you for the Super Thanks 😃😎
Wow, thank you Bhupen! I realy appreciate your Super Thanks. I put all the donations into the supplies for future tutorials. Your kindness will play a part in many of the future paintings. Have a great New Year and see you soon - Paul 😃😃😎😎
As it turns out, I completely messed up on your tutorial despite working alongside the video. However, I created a sort of surreal and incongruous piece that might work and that she says she loves. And I suppose that’s the way of it for a beginner like me. Thank you Paul for the wonderful tips!
Yes indeed. The journey often starts with a few of Bob's happy accidents. There will be more I'm sure but for now its a matter of learning and making small improvements. 😃😎
OK, so all is not lost. You have two choices. Either,) use a baby wipe and wipe the lower half of the canvas clean of any liquid clear and color. Allow to dry then complete the underpainting with gesso OR do the lower section completely in oils. Unless you've already started the lower section a wipe-off would be my favourite solution. 😍😍
Hi Joe - a god place to start is by using the Amazon Links in the description below the video. Then shop around for the best price. happy future Bob Ross Painting 😃😃😎😎
Hi Dave - absolutely. As Bob would often say 'its your world' . When you pick up a brush you have the power to change anything you want. Happy painting 😃😃
OK so the start of the painting is all acrylic or gesso and must be allowed to dry completely. If its not then the oils will smear it all over the canvas 🤔Have fun painting this 😎
Hi Luke - thanks for watching and trying this painting. I know just what you mean. I've painted this scene a few times over the years and its really easy to over glaze things. The background colours tend to merge so easily there is a tendancy for everything to become a blue/green wash. Try again and follow these tips 1) Add the smallest amount of colour at a time. Creap up slowly on the value your looking for. 2) Dry clean your brushes between colours. I spend several minuets between colour changes. If you have a second dry brush even better. 3) If it starts to go wrong don't be afraid to baby wipe the canvas and let it dry before having another go. 4) Be patient with your self. - Happy Painting - Paul
Hello Maria - its a mixed media painting. So, the starting point is to use acrylics as an underpainting for the trees. Then, once dry I use a glaze of oil colours to add colour. My latest tutorial uses coloured acrylics and oils - Hre's a link to it th-cam.com/video/QPb6Tad53tw/w-d-xo.html - Hope this helps Best wishes Paul 😎😎
@@mariasusanasanhuezaespinoz4180 Thank you Susie 😍😍 My wife isn't a fan of her name either so she always goes by the name of Terri not Theresa - Have a lovely week and hope your painting something soon.

Hey Paul! 👋❤️ particularly love the sponge technique👍😍 thanks for sharing! 🎉
Thanks so much 😊Annie. Its a simple yet effective way to create a background. I think I'll do some more videos on it. Hope your well - Paul 🤗🤗
@@PaulRansonArt We shared this video in my group on Wednesday - your tree painting comments are really helpful 👍
He is correct. Anybody can do this. Just pick up the brushes and start.
Thank you Mike - I'm pleased your finding my videos helpful. Just getting started can seam such a hurdle for folks. I'm painting some fun paintings for beginners or kids today. They can personalise them too. Lets see what I make this Sunday- Paul 😃😎
Thank you. I am going to try this one today.
Wonderful! You'll have a lot of fun for sure. If you want maybe post it on my Facebook page (link in the About Sectionon my channel). I'd love to see how you get on😊😊
Thanks so much for this, just tried it and loved doing it..
Wonderful! I'm so pleased you had a good time with this painting. I have a Facebook page in my about section so you can post it for me to see. 😋
@@PaulRansonArt okay I will try, I aint so good with tech lol.. if I can sus it out I will get you a coffee as well, thanks again
@@stephengray6996 thats so kind of you I'm not to good with tech either so please don't stress. Its the thought that counts 😃😃
Came across your channel today and absolutely love it! Thank you for sharing!
Hi Laura thank you for your lovely comments. I hope you'll stop by for some more fun painting tutorials 😄😄
Great tutorial. I tried one following along and mine looked great in B&W and less stellar in color. Is there any way to contact you so I can show you my results? I totally understand if that's not something you do/want. Thanks!
Hi David - I often like my monochrome versions more than colour too. I have a bunch of B&W wildlife paintings that haven't made it into colour too. Look on my 'About' page and there's an email and links to my website too. Contact me either way. 😃😃
Hello Paul. One question can I do this painting with water Base oil paints ? Thanks
I don't see why not. You'll need to use something like water mixable linseed oil very thinly in place of liquid clear. Then everything else is the same 😀😀
.
Absolutely beautiful painting. I have a question, I only have acrylic paints, do you think the oils part with the liquid clear can be replaced with acrylic retarder medium and then more acrylic paint for your oil part? Thanks in advance.
Hi Robin thanks for stopping by. TBH I don't know. I've used acrylics a lot but not particularly as a glaze. I think I would test a few colours first. The retarder would propbably work in place of the liquid clear as you suggest. Applied thinly over a dry acrylic background then try a few colours. Pigments that are more translucent in nature are: permanent rose, permanent crimson, alizarin crimson, dioxazine blue, ultramarine, pthalo blue, Prussian blue, viridian green, terre verte, sap green, burnt sienna, raw sienna and raw umber. Yellows are tricky because most are opaque. Play with Indian yellow would be my best guess. have fun amd let me know how you get on - Paul 😃😃
@@PaulRansonArt thanks Paul for your reply I will give it a go. Do you have more videos where you mix acrylics with oils in your channel? You got a new subscriber btw ❤️
I have a few one here. My favourite one is Indian Summer th-cam.com/video/h0EFENwueaA/w-d-xo.html
Tried this at home with my kids. So many pickles, but tons of fun!
Perfect! Its great to hear your getting involved with your kids and having fun with art. Sounds like you have a little work to do on the pickle front --- all part of the joy - best wishes Paul 😍😎
This is so cool, I saw you paint this on Create and Craft TV today! It was brilliant! 👍😁
Thank you Terri 🥰🥰
Painting today 😌 love it 😊
Have fun and paint your own version. Do you have a favourite Bob painting? 🤓

@@kaygriffin9928 ill put it on the to do list Kay😉😉
Keep it up bro
Thanks Cape. I have a new video in the works as we speak. 😊
Thanks!
Hi Eric - thank you so much for the Super Thanks. I spend all the money raised on supplies for future paintings. So your kind deed will be part of a new video. If you have a favourite Bob Ross painting please let me know and I'll add it to my list of future paintings! - Paul😎
Nice job. Good idea with the pushpins and q-tips. Do you ever just want to leave the black and white and not add the color?
Check out this video - I have a little black and white portrait for company - th-cam.com/video/znrbAtrniR0/w-d-xo.html 😃😎
Paul…I don’t know how to get a question answered. I want to paint this but the only acrylic paint I have is my gesso. Will that work for the trees?
Hi Jackie - no problem. You can use black and white gesso or black and white acrylic or any combination of the two. Just use what you have to hand. They all play nice together. 😀😀😀😀
does the acrylic background hold up over time? does it not flake?
Great question! Acrylic paints are extreamly tough and bond well with most surfaces. I've got a number of oils I painted over 25 years ago and they're still perfect. Not a crack or flake in sight. Hope this helps 😃😎
Thank you I really appreciate it!~ another question! The lining paper you use which brand is it? I am having trouble finding some in the US on amazon for a good price do you think you could help?@@PaulRansonArt

Oh my gosh! This was my very first painting on canvas. Before that I was relegated to old cereal boxes. The only real problem was painting the branches thin, clear and pristine, like yours Paul. Well, practice makes perfect. Back to the cereal boxes! 😅
Hi Robin - I used to paint on anything - now I use my DIY lining paper 'canvases' so much its strange to paint on a real canvas. As you'll often hear 'practice makes .... progress' - Happy New Year and thank you for the Super Thanks 😃😎
привет вам супер видео молодец
Thanks
Wow, thank you Bhupen! I realy appreciate your Super Thanks. I put all the donations into the supplies for future tutorials. Your kindness will play a part in many of the future paintings. Have a great New Year and see you soon - Paul 😃😃😎😎
As it turns out, I completely messed up on your tutorial despite working alongside the video. However, I created a sort of surreal and incongruous piece that might work and that she says she loves. And I suppose that’s the way of it for a beginner like me. Thank you Paul for the wonderful tips!
Yes indeed. The journey often starts with a few of Bob's happy accidents. There will be more I'm sure but for now its a matter of learning and making small improvements. 😃😎
I forgot to put my bushes and path in before I applied liquid clear and my Prussian blue. Dang.
OK, so all is not lost. You have two choices. Either,) use a baby wipe and wipe the lower half of the canvas clean of any liquid clear and color. Allow to dry then complete the underpainting with gesso OR do the lower section completely in oils. Unless you've already started the lower section a wipe-off would be my favourite solution. 😍😍
Can you use acrylic paints and get the results instead of oils?
Where can I buy Bob ross paints.
Hi Joe - a god place to start is by using the Amazon Links in the description below the video. Then shop around for the best price. happy future Bob Ross Painting 😃😃😎😎
9.36 I think to myself "This is magic" ... 9.37 you say "This is magic" 😍😜😀
Hahah we appear to be in sync! 😍😍. I often catch myself saying that when I'm having a good day with the brushes.
Love it!!!!,🔴🫢🤫
Thank you 😃😎
Can the path be changed to a stream ? 🤔
Hi Dave - absolutely. As Bob would often say 'its your world' . When you pick up a brush you have the power to change anything you want. Happy painting 😃😃
At the start. .. is the black wet?!?!
OK so the start of the painting is all acrylic or gesso and must be allowed to dry completely. If its not then the oils will smear it all over the canvas 🤔Have fun painting this 😎
I tried recreating this, but mine looks very, one toned.
Hi Luke - thanks for watching and trying this painting. I know just what you mean. I've painted this scene a few times over the years and its really easy to over glaze things. The background colours tend to merge so easily there is a tendancy for everything to become a blue/green wash. Try again and follow these tips 1) Add the smallest amount of colour at a time. Creap up slowly on the value your looking for. 2) Dry clean your brushes between colours. I spend several minuets between colour changes. If you have a second dry brush even better. 3) If it starts to go wrong don't be afraid to baby wipe the canvas and let it dry before having another go. 4) Be patient with your self. - Happy Painting - Paul
I thougth this was acrylic painting Its not is it?
Hello Maria - its a mixed media painting. So, the starting point is to use acrylics as an underpainting for the trees. Then, once dry I use a glaze of oil colours to add colour. My latest tutorial uses coloured acrylics and oils - Hre's a link to it th-cam.com/video/QPb6Tad53tw/w-d-xo.html - Hope this helps Best wishes Paul 😎😎
Thank you so much Susie (i hate the name Maria so it is Susie:)@@PaulRansonArt
@@mariasusanasanhuezaespinoz4180 Thank you Susie 😍😍 My wife isn't a fan of her name either so she always goes by the name of Terri not Theresa - Have a lovely week and hope your painting something soon.
Well I tried it and it looks horrible lol.
Sorry you beat me to it. This technique works best with oils. Their slow drying transparent quality makes all the difference 🤯
Thanks!
Thank you Robin 😃😎
