Hi Wild Guy!, I'm been painting on and off for a few years. Always said I'm not the artist my child is. But they gave me confidence and watching your video I'm so ready to finish the painting that I started 6 months ago. Before I go away, I really want to tell you how awesome this video is. I will be looking for more that's for sure. Stay well and keep that wild presentation on for all of us!
Great video, I have been painting wet on wet now for 5 years and still struggle at times with mud mixing. Letting things get tacky or dry is the best tip, I don't know where I learned this but gently placing a clean shop paper towel on the canvas where you want to add another layer of paint for half an hour to an hour really speeds this process up.
Yeah do that sometimes too - The towel will soak up a lot of the lose medium in the paint... thus making it firmer. It really helps for when you want to apply highlights and such.
Ok so I painted for the first time ever last week! I went to a paint like Bob Ross experience bought for me as a present.. I spent the day with the coolest guy and some others and came home with my proud painting! 👏🏼 yay! (My mountains sucked but hey my first painting) I've seen all 6million episodes of the joy of painting so decided to grab some canvases, brushes, paint and an easel and go for it.. I mean how hard can it be! VERY is the answer to that!! Made some bad ass northern lights on a black canvas!! Was going proper well until I wanted to put the trees underneath! I have no idea what went wrong but can't get highlights to stick and ended up just overworking the whole thing until it was mush!! Then I saw this video! Thanks so much! Fresh canvas out and a new teacher in you to guide me!! Let's go paint some happy little accidents! 😊
I am glad I can help you build a little confidence in your creative journey. I have a ton of videos that will give you some awesome tips to nail those mountains and northern lights. Below is a great video to help you get started correctly. Check it out! th-cam.com/video/AnGE7AYu9RY/w-d-xo.html
Before I got into landscape oil painting I did a lot of astrophotography. I captured all the best nebulas and galaxies in both hemispheres then processed data from Hubble and James Webb telescopes then I wanted to paint my nebulas after printing them on canvas. Always jealous of my sisters gifted talent. Thought I can’t do that. I talked to her about oil painting and she gave me everything I needed. TH-cam is my teacher and teachers like you make this hobby so much easier. Thank you for your efforts in bringing us the best tips for getting what we want , a great painting.
Welcome to a new creative journey... I have a few nebula and galaxy tutorials but they are in acrylic. You can check them out below.... I will do you a favor and do one in oil soon.... Or maybe one day you send me one of your photos and I can show you have to paint a simple version of it. th-cam.com/play/PL1j4vqU7W_o0nyWDr3IOZ08LuHy2_ScZC.html
Thank you so much for all the helpful info. I really, really needed info on why my paintings turned out so awful. Thanks to YOU , I now have a good chance of doing a great oil painting. I will be watching all your videos. When I become rich & famous , I will acknowledge you as my mentor !!!
Heck Ya Buddy - I am glad I can help you on your creative journey. We will call it even by you smashing that SUB button and when you do become RICH & FAMOUS... Toss a few dollars lil ole WILD'S way 😂😂😂
Thank you so much for your videos. You have become my go-to channel, as I am just getting interested in trying painting, myself. I have always been a design and fabricate kind of person, though I have always had a lot of good ideas for the canvas. Time to put them to the test, and your videos have helped me immensely, before I even get started. Thanks again.
It’s as though you made this video just for me. Based on several of the comments, I’m not the only one who felt this way, either! Some of these things I had learned or heard over the past year (likely from you), but having them all together as a collective reminder was very helpful! Thanks again!
I do read all the comments and see how I can incorporate them into my videos... so ya... This video was kinda made for ya 😝 Hopefully the video touch on some issues you were struggling with or at least showed you how to minimize some of the issues. Happy Painting Mike 💪
Dude. I feel so lucky to have this knowledge now. Thank you thank you thank you. You restored my confidence. I don’t know why your channel isn’t bigger.

Hi Wild i am a new artist and your techniques have helped me out so far, i was really struggling with mountains, when i went to put snow on them it was smearing and looked flat and horrible, since wiping of access paint its a lot better, thank you my friend, you totally rock!!!! 🙂

@@WildCreates The grouping of so many tips in one video that has taken me months of watching various painters to collect. I have followed you, Bob, Bill, and Kevin for months... but you brought many of their (and your) key tips into one place. The last of your video you said Slow Down! I heard you say this a few months ago. "We are not BR or BA.... and we should not expect to complete a painting in 30 minutes." I slowed down and had more fun and better outcomes. Someone just had to give me permission. While this tip is just mentioned here in passing, hopefully others who are just becoming Wild fans will catch it, too.
Slowing down helps so so so MUCH. Not only do I get to enjoy it more ( cause there is less pressure ) but I also find myself taking more time with each brush stroke.... Which pays off :)
@@WildCreates We see EXPERIENCED MASTER painters slamming the colors and highlights on so rapidly, se are better served by slowing down and seeing one's strokes put life into the painting giving more joy and satisfaction.
I have a few art friends that spend days, weeks and even month on a single painting. I will have to do a video with them so people can see that perspective.
@@WildCreates You videos have helped me a lot on my paintings. I got better almost instantly following your videos. Thanks for the content, I know it takes a lot of time and effort to make the videos
I didn’t get to watch the whole video the first time. Just watched it again. Your tips are so so valuable!!! You have answered all the questions I babe beem asking myself. You are so good. Thank you once again. Your videos are the best and so informative!!! Did I mention you always answer questions unlike many others here. A huge thank you 😊
@@WildCreates well. All 😄. But the one about the clouds. Leaving some white areas and / or Taking off a bit of Color. Using thinner paint for shrubs and also I kept wondering if I could walk away half way in my painting and kept thinking I had to finish in one go. No I know I can stop and come back in a day or two. I am really not experienced at all so I wasn’t sure. Bob Ross makes it look so easy. My first attempt at paint was your tutorial ( I wish I could send you ) and since I am hooked Thank you so much. 😊😊
Oh Goodness, this video has answered so much. this great thank you so much. its like the light bulb lit up over my head. this video needs to be pushed so much. . again thank you
Glad you like it - This video is a banger filled with a tone of awesome tips. If you are enjoying the channel don't forget to Sub or you can even become a YT member to support the channel.
Just love all the helpful tips and tricks you present as I start out on my wet on wet painting journey! None of them were included in the Bob Ross videos to my knowledge.
Glad I can help you out on your creative journey. I know what it is like to be lost when starting out with painting... this channel will be perfect for you.
Wild I have to agree with you that this is one of the best tutorials you have done! These tips are great foe new painters and the more experienced as well. Finally someone actually discussed not having to keep up with Bob or Bill or anyone else. Thank you again for a great video.
This link below should take you right too it: th-cam.com/channels/J0nGU-oZthfagTyVVXiVQA.htmljoin Not sure how it works on an iPad ( would be interested to know ) Let me know if you have any issues. And thanks for the support - I really do appreciate it 😝
I always pre prep my canvas panels. But my panels already are coated whit primer wen i buy them from the hardware store in the netherlands. Thats were i live😊👍🏾😁👋🏾✌🏾 i love this video
Thank you so much for your words of wisdom! I am working on my 1st major art project and am at a frustrating point of a muddy mess! I hope I can pull it out but if not, now I know what not to do! Y!!ou have given me great advice.
@@WildCreates wish I had watched it a long time ago. Some of the tips seem so simple! I guess because for years I’ve had the mentality that if I “didn’t see Bob Ross do it”, it doesn’t need to be done. LOL. I never thought about the time constraints they had back in the day. Thank goodness for TH-cam, as you have shown me the light!
Thank you for this video! So many great tips. I'm so glad I stuck around until the very end for the last bit. I KNOW my biggest problem is getting into that mindset that I need to do this in 30-60 min like I see Ross, Alexander and numerous other wet on wet painters do in their videos. You are the first one that I have seen that has said it is OK to put it aside and come back hours or even days later and pick up where you left off. To me that is a HUGE piece of information. I've been discouraged lately and this gives me the inspiration to drag everything out and start painting again!
Yeah - I started out the same way. Finish in the same time as the tutorial. When you slow down you enjoy it so so so much more AND you really see a difference. Hence why I like to pop a nice bottle of whiskey and wine when I paint... Thats the true painting hack there ha ha ha
I have this problem too, but i like to finish the day I start. I find by the next day, week, any time later, I cant get in the same headspace and I want to start a new piece. I find myself starting way more pieces than I ever finish.
If you find yourself in that spot - I find it best to do more simplistic paintings. This way you know you will finish in the time you want to dedicate to it.
Super excellent advice throughout this video. The first step to becoming a great painter is paint management! After you learn how to stop mixing mud is when you really start seeing your paintings really come to life. Also, +100 to the paper towel method!
Yes those shop towels are on another level... Like legit ha ha ha. I also checked out your painting video... can't wait to see more from ya in future videos 💪
@@WildCreates haha oh no! I wasn't ready for someone important to see those yet lol. I'm still very, very new to making videos and with some time hoping my quality will improve!
That's the most important part - It took me a really long time to feel decent at painting.... TBH, working on simpler painting help build my confidence a lot
@@WildCreates yes thats it right there SIMPLER paintings ! Every time for me at this stage, I tried a few that didn't turn out too well ,because they were too advanced for me, at least I learned that! Keep up the good work WILD your helping me and I'm sure a lot of others too .regards from London England.
Its never a failed painting when you learn from it.... Just think of it as a "Stepping Stone Painting" 😂😂😂😂 Those stepping stones will eventually help you make some awesome art down the road.
One tip that Bill Alexander said was to apply your liquid white, then take a clean dry brush and go over it vertically then horizontally once and you should have the right amount, along with the finger test. Thanks for another great video!
That is pretty much what I do too BUT when you add that layer of grey gesso first... It is so easy to see where you have no liquid medium and where you have too much 💪
Wow! What a GREAT video. I just finished my very first painting and, though I'm proud of it, I totally see mud mixing. You were right, this new painter is guilty of all of the sins listed here. I'll be applying these new skills for painting #2. I expect I'll see a lot of improvement if I'm able to apply even a small fraction of them. Thanks man!!
Glad this video was helpful - NO JOKE watch this video again before you do painting #2 and that painting will be 10x better. Painting the same thing twice in a row is a great skill builder. Can't wait to see what you paint.
@@WildCreates The first part about the overly wet canvas I found helpful as I seem to get to a point where I have too much wet paint on the canvas and everything blends together. In general though it was a great video for anyone trying to advance their skills. I sometimes take 3 days to complete a painting. Mostly because I can think a bit paint a bit and enjoy the ride.
there are a one or two things you pointed out that I will try that I haven't heard before. With that said, I am a Master mud mixer. 😂 I really struggle with layering, If I'm only dealing with sky, water, and a slim layer of land I'm fine. I think I just end up with too much paint. I will try the wipe off method for areas I'm trying to build. with that said, I have had some success with waiting 12+ hrs (the next day) to continue. This may indeed be just a situation of too many/thick paint when I push forward in a single setting.
@@WildCreates the video confirmed what I was thinking, too much paint, so simply wiping it off w/ a paper towel, never occurred to me, even though I've seen Bob saying 'if you don't like it just scrape it off', well he seemed to always use the knife to do it, and I had terrible results attempting that method lol. the other one, which I've done but just never heard it mentioned before, just walk away, leave it, come back later or the next day. I just figured I was frustrated/lazy, or too drunk. (at times, all the above lol). Sometimes it did help if I didn't already go too far with it, which may or may not go hand in hand with the just stop fiddling with it, stop overworking a problem Though, I'm curious, if I walk away and it dries, what do you do to 'rewet' the canvas to continue? I've tried painting atop the dried paint with minimal success and I've tried applying liquid clear with moderate success. (still think I use too much of that shit, I can't see it) 🤷 oh, and since I just re-watched the video, I did like the tip about loading the brush and testing the application while on the palette. I've done it without realizing I was and it does help to know what my brush is doing before I use it on the canvas.
Those blue shop towels are the best. When it comes to walking away and re-wetting the canvas there is a trick to it..... You generally want to stop and start at a section that will be easy to rewet ( ie: after you finish the sky and clouds, mountain ranges, ETC). This will make it easy..... DONT do it when you are half way through something like a tree or land... it wont look or blend right. Yeah I learned that tip from a CRI private lesson I got when I first started painting. That helps a ton with minimizing mistakes.
@@WildCreates well after doctoring the one I left overnight to 'tacky up' it does look better looking at it today. and today, I'm trying to pay attention to how much paint I'm applying as I do the sky and initial water, trying to ensure I get it thinned out before I move to the mountain, and then onto the 'land' portion :\ bane of my existence at this point
Hi I'm just watching this video. And you mentioned about not putting too much paint on the brush I understand that this Oil painting but my question is as a newbie to painting is it the same when us Acrylic paint 🎨 🖌️ ? Thanks Phil
It depends on the style of acrylic paint you are using... BUT a good rule of thumb is to always start with a little because you can always add more... while removing too much can be tough.
Hi Love your videos .. I’m no Rembrandt but learning a lot…. Question - oil vs water based oil paints…I’m trying to determine which is best … the Turpine (spelling sorry - TBI messes me up) … use and disposal … want to be environmental safe …. Not sure having the waste and reused liquid around … dont have a studio just sunroom with lots of windows I open with working only… help please …you rock!
When it comes to water mixable oils I have 2 videos on it you can watch and learn here: WM oil: th-cam.com/video/r7GEA8ag7Hk/w-d-xo.html WM Medium: th-cam.com/video/F012kE0o1nw/w-d-xo.html For Thinners, it that SUB button... I have a few videos coming out in the next few weeks on healthy options.
Hello Wild - You are such a help Thank you. When you say you can leave a painting and come back days later, and just to :rewet" the Canvas, do you do that with Liquid clear or a Gamblin Solvent Free Gel ? Thanks for helping
You can do it with any liquid base medium ( if it is needed ). Generally I will use a little bit of Liquid White BUT it really depends on the painting and style. I hope that helps.
Thank you. You're a great teacher. I've learned so much. You make it fun, too. It probably could be boring if someone just stood there talking in regular sentences without attempts at keeping our interest focused. I love the little acrylic landscape. I'm going to try something that size. I don't see why you don't use reference photos. It's got to be much harder without reference. I couldn't do that. See if you can take some good photos and give it a try. I think you'd be happy at how it would open more possibilities for you.
I am glad I can make you smile, laugh and educate all at the same time. It brings me a lot of pleasure to help you on your creative journey. I use reference when I want to paint certain pieces BUT I also like to paint with out one ( it creates a great challenge ). If you plan on taking and using reference photos, I made a great video on it if you wanna check it out: th-cam.com/video/-9chByzT1cg/w-d-xo.html
At 82 I decided to try painting after watching Bob Ross . That was 3 months ago . Each piece I did started to look better. Iam Pleased with progress and how little time it takes to do one. Practice is the key and patience is a must.
I am so stoked that you jumped into painting... Stick with it buddy - it does get a easier every new painting. I have 3 video that will help you a ton when starting off your paintings. They have all my secrets that will start you off on the right foot.

New subscriber here. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and talent with us, I love your videos and can't wait to try my new set of oil paints. I've only used acrylics so far, brush painting and fluid art. Your videos are super helpful and friendly. It doesn't hurt that you are adorable 😮😅 Thanks again from your newest fan ❤
Thank you for the awesome comment. I have a ton of videos that are perfect for new painters like yourself. Feel free to check out more of my adorable face on my fun videos 😂😂😂
I will make a video on this but the short answer in the mean time is... find a spot/section that you think is good for stopping your painting. Then slow scrub in liquid medium into the canvas from the bottom up
Glad you liked the video. I use a mix of brushes BUT the main ones you see in the videos are my Bob Ross Brushes from the kits and singles I have bought. I will link the kit below ( it also goes over what the brushes are for ). Make sure to sub for more helpful videos Master Kit: th-cam.com/video/Jsf4cSdHLr8/w-d-xo.html
Great video Wild. While I don’t paint wet on wet anymore, except for some medium on the sky, Ever since I saw I could just use shoppe towels to wipe my undercoat it made a huge improvement. Side note, I remember u talked about hanging paintings on a wall in a video somewhere and I was wondering which video it was. I need a more efficient way of hanging a canvas without damaging the wall. Cheers !
I have not made that video yet - I am redoing my loft ( which has art work I will hang ) I figure that will be the best to show how I do it. 2 birds 1 stone kinda thing ha ha ha
The layer of grey gesso has literally been the problem solver for too much liquid white… and my wild man -WOOOWWW too much is wayyy worse than not enough.. I had way too much of something for once and the grey gesso has done the trick. Wish grey prepped canvass were more available… glad I learned that tip from u- bob doesn’t really emphasize this much in his vids. 😊 keep it up bro!!!
you put a lot of effort into this video and it's great, thanks for all the tips! just have to ask, how would one go about re-wetting the canvas if the paint dried?🙂
Thanks for the awesome comment. To answer you question - just simple re-wet the sections you want to work on and lightly blend it inn to match. You will most likely have to work inn smaller sections BUT don't over think it :)
Hey awesome videos. I will try my very first painting tomorrow and i am really nervous... Did i get this right: i can mix some liquid white into titanium white to make easier clouds and other things?
@@WildCreates yes! I love that painting! Please do a tutorial on it. I have to say man, that painting may be my favorite out of all the Bob Ross paintings! Beautiful sunrise! When can you do it? I'd love to watch it live Thanks so much! Brett Sloan
I struggle with over-working and adding. Two tips that help me (I paint with acrylic). One: use a wet pallet - I tended to not want to waste paint lol Have another canvas beside what you are working on. I use “junk” canvas that I know will be a mess because I know I need to leave the good project alone but am still in the mood to paint.
Amazing video! I just started painting about four months ago and your channel has dramatically improved my skills. I've binge watched the entire channel. I'm crushing mountains, clouds and trees thanks to your videos. I just can't crush the bushes... (pause for laughter) Sometimes they come out amazing and other times, the are giant gloops (if thats a word) or i use too little paint on the brush and it is more of faint whisper of a bush. I'm going to test a few things out you suggest about testing on the pallet but wanted to ask if you are going to make a video on hills? Hills seem to come out so easy in videos i watch but even if i manage to not make it a giant mix of mud, it looks absolutely nothing like a hill. Perhaps i'm overworking them. At best, its just some lighter and darker areas of color. I haven't been able to find a solid video on how to make hills actually look like hills. thanks
Let me just say you are very welcome and that the BUSHES ARE THE DEVIL. I still struggle with them. In one of my next videos coming out. I will be talking about getting paint and highlights to stick. I think that video will help you with your bushes for sure. Until then, This video here might help you with some issues you might be having with Bloops. It has a ton of tips in it. th-cam.com/video/AnGE7AYu9RY/w-d-xo.html
@@WildCreates Thanks! saw it already but watched again... one thing i forgot to mention which virtually no one else does that i super appreciate is the super close up of the brush on the palate. really helps to see how your applying the paint on the brush. keep it up!
Yeah I want to introduce more angles and close ups, they really help. I feel most artist are nervous to show close up of their art ( they don't want you to see the flaws or imperfections ) NOT ME! We are here to learn and grow together. Here is the highlight video that just dropped over the weekend. Give it a peek if you haven't already: th-cam.com/video/3F8rO6Z35T4/w-d-xo.html
I plan on making a video on this ( cause there is a little to it ) BUT i find it easy to stop at a place you know you can easily continue from (IE mountains, clouds, sky, etc ) The just take your liquid medium and work it into section you need to paint. Stop with only a little and add as needed. Working in sections is key
Yup, you can just re-wet it again with a thin lay of MW (or even liquid clear) OR it still might be wet.... do a small test with your finger and touch it. I hope that helps you out.
Hi Wild Guy!, I'm been painting on and off for a few years. Always said I'm not the artist my child is. But they gave me confidence and watching your video I'm so ready to finish the painting that I started 6 months ago. Before I go away, I really want to tell you how awesome this video is. I will be looking for more that's for sure. Stay well and keep that wild presentation on for all of us!
I am glad that I can give you some motivation to start and finish a painting. I would love to see what you paint when you are all done with it 🔥
Great video, I have been painting wet on wet now for 5 years and still struggle at times with mud mixing. Letting things get tacky or dry is the best tip, I don't know where I learned this but gently placing a clean shop paper towel on the canvas where you want to add another layer of paint for half an hour to an hour really speeds this process up.
Yeah do that sometimes too - The towel will soak up a lot of the lose medium in the paint... thus making it firmer. It really helps for when you want to apply highlights and such.

Wild.. one of your best videos by far!
Thanks buddy.... Curious to know, what was your favorite tip or what helped you most?
@@WildCreates The grouping of so many tips in one video that has taken me months of watching various painters to collect. I have followed you, Bob, Bill, and Kevin for months... but you brought many of their (and your) key tips into one place. The last of your video you said Slow Down! I heard you say this a few months ago. "We are not BR or BA.... and we should not expect to complete a painting in 30 minutes." I slowed down and had more fun and better outcomes. Someone just had to give me permission. While this tip is just mentioned here in passing, hopefully others who are just becoming Wild fans will catch it, too.
Slowing down helps so so so MUCH.
Not only do I get to enjoy it more ( cause there is less pressure ) but I also find myself taking more time with each brush stroke.... Which pays off :)
@@WildCreates We see EXPERIENCED MASTER painters slamming the colors and highlights on so rapidly, se are better served by slowing down and seeing one's strokes put life into the painting giving more joy and satisfaction.
I have a few art friends that spend days, weeks and even month on a single painting. I will have to do a video with them so people can see that perspective.
Great job. Thanks for all this info. We love you too

Thank you once again. Your videos are the best and so informative!!! Did I mention you always answer questions unlike many others here. A huge thank you 😊
Thanks for the awesome comment and curious to know - which tip or tips helped you most?
@@WildCreates well. All 😄. But the one about the clouds. Leaving some white areas and / or Taking off a bit of Color. Using thinner paint for shrubs and also I kept wondering if I could walk away half way in my painting and kept thinking I had to finish in one go. No I know I can stop and come back in a day or two. I am really not experienced at all so I wasn’t sure. Bob Ross makes it look so easy. My first attempt at paint was your tutorial ( I wish I could send you ) and since I am hooked Thank you so much. 😊😊
Just say this - Thanks for the follow up and feedback.
You can always show me your art you have created on Instagram :)

Wild I have to agree with you that this is one of the best tutorials you have done! These tips are great foe new painters and the more experienced as well. Finally someone actually discussed not having to keep up with Bob or Bill or anyone else. Thank you again for a great video.

Make sure to share it with your friends, family, neighbor and that creepy guy down the street 😝
@@WildCreates wish I had watched it a long time ago. Some of the tips seem so simple! I guess because for years I’ve had the mentality that if I “didn’t see Bob Ross do it”, it doesn’t need to be done. LOL. I never thought about the time constraints they had back in the day. Thank goodness for TH-cam, as you have shown me the light!
I am just glad that I can open your eyes now with all these awesome tips I am giving 💪
Cool pink clouds❤👋🏾✌🏾👍🏾😁

Hello Wildcreates me too😁✌🏾👍🏾
Very helpful!
Glad the video could help you out.
Amazing video with so many tips. Thank you so much ✌️
You're so welcome!
I hope it helps you on your creative journey.
Thank you for this video! So many great tips. I'm so glad I stuck around until the very end for the last bit. I KNOW my biggest problem is getting into that mindset that I need to do this in 30-60 min like I see Ross, Alexander and numerous other wet on wet painters do in their videos. You are the first one that I have seen that has said it is OK to put it aside and come back hours or even days later and pick up where you left off. To me that is a HUGE piece of information. I've been discouraged lately and this gives me the inspiration to drag everything out and start painting again!
Yeah - I started out the same way. Finish in the same time as the tutorial. When you slow down you enjoy it so so so much more AND you really see a difference. Hence why I like to pop a nice bottle of whiskey and wine when I paint... Thats the true painting hack there ha ha ha
I have this problem too, but i like to finish the day I start. I find by the next day, week, any time later, I cant get in the same headspace and I want to start a new piece. I find myself starting way more pieces than I ever finish.
If you find yourself in that spot - I find it best to do more simplistic paintings. This way you know you will finish in the time you want to dedicate to it.
@@WildCreates thanks cheers

This was a great video! My clouds look 1000x better after trying your wipe some background off and making the paint more fatty. Thank you!!
Heck ya Laura...
I am glad I can help you complete your cloud journey 💪
Fantastic video. Thank you so much 😊
Thank you so much. I hope it helps you on your painting adventures.
Nice!
Thanks for watching
Super excellent advice throughout this video. The first step to becoming a great painter is paint management! After you learn how to stop mixing mud is when you really start seeing your paintings really come to life. Also, +100 to the paper towel method!
Yes those shop towels are on another level... Like legit ha ha ha.
I also checked out your painting video... can't wait to see more from ya in future videos 💪
@@WildCreates haha oh no! I wasn't ready for someone important to see those yet lol. I'm still very, very new to making videos and with some time hoping my quality will improve!
You can't stop me he he he!
You will improve in time... making videos on YT is all about making 100 crappy videos before you make 1 good one 💪
Interesting!
Hopefully the video helped you out 😁
I LOVE THE VIDEO!
Glad that you love it so much!
I hope my tips advance your painting skills!
Thank you WILD , great tips as always ,I have learnt a lot .
Just doing my to make you a better painter 💪
@@WildCreates to make me any kind of painter would be great, I'm not good but I am enjoying the journey lol 😄
That's the most important part - It took me a really long time to feel decent at painting.... TBH, working on simpler painting help build my confidence a lot
@@WildCreates yes thats it right there SIMPLER paintings ! Every time for me at this stage, I tried a few that didn't turn out too well ,because they were too advanced for me, at least I learned that! Keep up the good work WILD your helping me and I'm sure a lot of others too .regards from London England.
Its never a failed painting when you learn from it.... Just think of it as a "Stepping Stone Painting" 😂😂😂😂
Those stepping stones will eventually help you make some awesome art down the road.
Your so right!
One tip that Bill Alexander said was to apply your liquid white, then take a clean dry brush and go over it vertically then horizontally once and you should have the right amount, along with the finger test. Thanks for another great video!
That is pretty much what I do too BUT when you add that layer of grey gesso first... It is so easy to see where you have no liquid medium and where you have too much 💪
@@WildCreates yes I like using the Grey gesso too
Its a life saver at times
Wow! What a GREAT video. I just finished my very first painting and, though I'm proud of it, I totally see mud mixing. You were right, this new painter is guilty of all of the sins listed here. I'll be applying these new skills for painting #2. I expect I'll see a lot of improvement if I'm able to apply even a small fraction of them. Thanks man!!
Glad this video was helpful - NO JOKE watch this video again before you do painting #2 and that painting will be 10x better. Painting the same thing twice in a row is a great skill builder.
Can't wait to see what you paint.
Great vid, keep them coming
Thanks, will do!
I hope the video enlightened you on some mud mixing issues
Cool video
Glad the video can help you out buddy :)
Very well done. This has touched on a lot of issues I have encountered advancing my ala
prima paintings. Thank you
Glad to help you out Paul.
Curious to know which tip was best for your or helped you the most?
@@WildCreates The first part about the overly wet canvas I found helpful as I seem to get to a point where I have too much wet paint on the canvas and everything blends together. In general though it was a great video for anyone trying to advance their skills. I sometimes take 3 days to complete a painting. Mostly because I can think a bit paint a bit and enjoy the ride.
Awesome buddy - Thanks for the feedback.
It helps me tailor future videos to make them better for the community!
there are a one or two things you pointed out that I will try that I haven't heard before. With that said, I am a Master mud mixer. 😂
I really struggle with layering, If I'm only dealing with sky, water, and a slim layer of land I'm fine.
I think I just end up with too much paint. I will try the wipe off method for areas I'm trying to build.
with that said, I have had some success with waiting 12+ hrs (the next day) to continue. This may indeed be just a situation of too many/thick paint when I push forward in a single setting.
I am curious to what those one to two things were?
@@WildCreates the video confirmed what I was thinking, too much paint, so simply wiping it off w/ a paper towel, never occurred to me, even though I've seen Bob saying 'if you don't like it just scrape it off', well he seemed to always use the knife to do it, and I had terrible results attempting that method lol.
the other one, which I've done but just never heard it mentioned before, just walk away, leave it, come back later or the next day. I just figured I was frustrated/lazy, or too drunk. (at times, all the above lol).
Sometimes it did help if I didn't already go too far with it, which may or may not go hand in hand with the just stop fiddling with it, stop overworking a problem
Though, I'm curious, if I walk away and it dries, what do you do to 'rewet' the canvas to continue? I've tried painting atop the dried paint with minimal success and I've tried applying liquid clear with moderate success. (still think I use too much of that shit, I can't see it) 🤷
oh, and since I just re-watched the video, I did like the tip about loading the brush and testing the application while on the palette. I've done it without realizing I was and it does help to know what my brush is doing before I use it on the canvas.
Those blue shop towels are the best.
When it comes to walking away and re-wetting the canvas there is a trick to it..... You generally want to stop and start at a section that will be easy to rewet ( ie: after you finish the sky and clouds, mountain ranges, ETC). This will make it easy..... DONT do it when you are half way through something like a tree or land... it wont look or blend right.
Yeah I learned that tip from a CRI private lesson I got when I first started painting. That helps a ton with minimizing mistakes.
@@WildCreates well after doctoring the one I left overnight to 'tacky up' it does look better looking at it today.
and today, I'm trying to pay attention to how much paint I'm applying as I do the sky and initial water, trying to ensure I get it thinned out before I move to the mountain, and then onto the 'land' portion :\ bane of my existence at this point
Baby steps my friend.... baby steps ha ha ha
Hi I'm just watching this video. And you mentioned about not putting too much paint on the brush I understand that this Oil painting but my question is as a newbie to painting is it the same when us Acrylic paint 🎨 🖌️ ?
Thanks Phil
It depends on the style of acrylic paint you are using... BUT a good rule of thumb is to always start with a little because you can always add more... while removing too much can be tough.
Hi Love your videos .. I’m no Rembrandt but learning a lot…. Question - oil vs water based oil paints…I’m trying to determine which is best … the Turpine (spelling sorry - TBI messes me up) … use and disposal … want to be environmental safe …. Not sure having the waste and reused liquid around … dont have a studio just sunroom with lots of windows I open with working only… help please …you rock!
When it comes to water mixable oils I have 2 videos on it you can watch and learn here:
WM oil: th-cam.com/video/r7GEA8ag7Hk/w-d-xo.html
WM Medium: th-cam.com/video/F012kE0o1nw/w-d-xo.html
For Thinners, it that SUB button... I have a few videos coming out in the next few weeks on healthy options.
Great video. Thank you!!!
I hope it helps and opens your eyes on some issues you maybe having.
@@WildCreates very useful content! I can't wait to try some of this hacks tomorrow!
Let me know how they go for ya 💪
Great vid, I have made every mistake you have shown, i am just starting out. Love your vids

Hello Wild - You are such a help Thank you. When you say you can leave a painting and come back days later, and just to :rewet" the Canvas, do you do that with Liquid clear or a Gamblin Solvent Free Gel ?
Thanks for helping
You can do it with any liquid base medium ( if it is needed ). Generally I will use a little bit of Liquid White BUT it really depends on the painting and style. I hope that helps.
Thank you. You're a great teacher. I've learned so much. You make it fun, too. It probably could be boring if someone just stood there talking in regular sentences without attempts at keeping our interest focused. I love the little acrylic landscape. I'm going to try something that size. I don't see why you don't use reference photos. It's got to be much harder without reference. I couldn't do that. See if you can take some good photos and give it a try. I think you'd be happy at how it would open more possibilities for you.
I am glad I can make you smile, laugh and educate all at the same time. It brings me a lot of pleasure to help you on your creative journey. I use reference when I want to paint certain pieces BUT I also like to paint with out one ( it creates a great challenge ). If you plan on taking and using reference photos, I made a great video on it if you wanna check it out:

At 82 I decided to try painting after watching Bob Ross . That was 3 months ago . Each piece I did started to look better. Iam
Pleased with progress and how little time it takes to do one. Practice is the key and patience is a must.
I am so stoked that you jumped into painting... Stick with it buddy - it does get a easier every new painting. I have 3 video that will help you a ton when starting off your paintings. They have all my secrets that will start you off on the right foot.

Thank you for the awesome comment.
I have a ton of videos that are perfect for new painters like yourself. Feel free to check out more of my adorable face on my fun videos 😂😂😂
Already on it...haha 🥰
Hope you enjoy all me vids 🔥
Great info. How do I wet my canvas after it drys?
Thanks Wild
I will make a video on this but the short answer in the mean time is... find a spot/section that you think is good for stopping your painting. Then slow scrub in liquid medium into the canvas from the bottom up
What brand of brushes are you using? Great video BTW!
Glad you liked the video. I use a mix of brushes BUT the main ones you see in the videos are my Bob Ross Brushes from the kits and singles I have bought. I will link the kit below ( it also goes over what the brushes are for ). Make sure to sub for more helpful videos

Hi Wild, do you let the gray gesso dry before adding the liquid white or is that not necessary.
YES - let it dry first.
Great video Wild. While I don’t paint wet on wet anymore, except for some medium on the sky, Ever since I saw I could just use shoppe towels to wipe my undercoat it made a huge improvement. Side note, I remember u talked about hanging paintings on a wall in a video somewhere and I was wondering which video it was. I need a more efficient way of hanging a canvas without damaging the wall. Cheers !
I have not made that video yet - I am redoing my loft ( which has art work I will hang ) I figure that will be the best to show how I do it. 2 birds 1 stone kinda thing ha ha ha
The layer of grey gesso has literally been the problem solver for too much liquid white… and my wild man -WOOOWWW too much is wayyy worse than not enough.. I had way too much of something for once and the grey gesso has done the trick. Wish grey prepped canvass were more available… glad I learned that tip from u- bob doesn’t really emphasize this much in his vids. 😊 keep it up bro!!!
you put a lot of effort into this video and it's great, thanks for all the tips! just have to ask, how would one go about re-wetting the canvas if the paint dried?🙂
Thanks for the awesome comment.
To answer you question - just simple re-wet the sections you want to work on and lightly blend it inn to match. You will most likely have to work inn smaller sections BUT don't over think it :)
@@WildCreates you're welcome :) you mean re-wetting with just plain water will do the trick? nice, thanks a lot :)
If you are using oil paint you will want to re wet the canvas with either some liquid white or a liquid clear medium.
@@WildCreates thank you very much! ❤ i'm very new to painting as it shows, sorry for the stupid questions🤣
I am glad to help and I am the perfect channel for fun dumb questions 😂
We will call it even by you hitting the SUB button.
Hey awesome videos. I will try my very first painting tomorrow and i am really nervous...
Did i get this right: i can mix some liquid white into titanium white to make easier clouds and other things?
How did it go?
Yes you can - if you need more help with clouds... be sure to check out this video here: th-cam.com/video/i4ax8C8H47o/w-d-xo.html
I want to paint that mountain sunrise picture! Did you do that? Please link me up! I love that painting!
I dont have a painting tutorial yet on that photo.... But I can make one if you are interested.
@@WildCreates yes! I love that painting! Please do a tutorial on it. I have to say man, that painting may be my favorite out of all the Bob Ross paintings! Beautiful sunrise! When can you do it? I'd love to watch it live
Thanks so much!
Brett Sloan
Not sure when I can do it - So hit that SUB button to see when I post the video :)
I struggle with over-working and adding. Two tips that help me (I paint with acrylic). One: use a wet pallet - I tended to not want to waste paint lol
Have another canvas beside what you are working on. I use “junk” canvas that I know will be a mess because I know I need to leave the good project alone but am still in the mood to paint.
Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks with the community ❤
Amazing video! I just started painting about four months ago and your channel has dramatically improved my skills. I've binge watched the entire channel. I'm crushing mountains, clouds and trees thanks to your videos. I just can't crush the bushes... (pause for laughter) Sometimes they come out amazing and other times, the are giant gloops (if thats a word) or i use too little paint on the brush and it is more of faint whisper of a bush. I'm going to test a few things out you suggest about testing on the pallet but wanted to ask if you are going to make a video on hills? Hills seem to come out so easy in videos i watch but even if i manage to not make it a giant mix of mud, it looks absolutely nothing like a hill. Perhaps i'm overworking them. At best, its just some lighter and darker areas of color. I haven't been able to find a solid video on how to make hills actually look like hills. thanks
Let me just say you are very welcome and that the BUSHES ARE THE DEVIL. I still struggle with them. In one of my next videos coming out. I will be talking about getting paint and highlights to stick. I think that video will help you with your bushes for sure.
Until then, This video here might help you with some issues you might be having with Bloops. It has a ton of tips in it.
th-cam.com/video/AnGE7AYu9RY/w-d-xo.html
@@WildCreates Thanks! saw it already but watched again... one thing i forgot to mention which virtually no one else does that i super appreciate is the super close up of the brush on the palate. really helps to see how your applying the paint on the brush. keep it up!
Yeah I want to introduce more angles and close ups, they really help. I feel most artist are nervous to show close up of their art ( they don't want you to see the flaws or imperfections ) NOT ME! We are here to learn and grow together.
Here is the highlight video that just dropped over the weekend. Give it a peek if you haven't already:
th-cam.com/video/3F8rO6Z35T4/w-d-xo.html
How do you "re-wet" your painting if you continue a few days later ? (after you wait to tacky up) Love your great tips
I plan on making a video on this ( cause there is a little to it ) BUT i find it easy to stop at a place you know you can easily continue from (IE mountains, clouds, sky, etc )
The just take your liquid medium and work it into section you need to paint. Stop with only a little and add as needed. Working in sections is key
Great tips, thank you. But if you let the painting ‘dry’ for a while, how do you deal with the magic white in unfinished areas? Do you apply it again?
Yup, you can just re-wet it again with a thin lay of MW (or even liquid clear) OR it still might be wet.... do a small test with your finger and touch it.
I hope that helps you out.
