Awesome - I am glad that my videos are helping you out. Good luck on your first painting and attack it head on :P Be sure to tweet me your painting when you are all down. I would love to see it :)
I painted a ”decent” winter forest 2 or 3 years ago and for some reason I put my paints away and until 2 days again hadn’t touched them. I just tried to paint along with Bob Ross’s blue moon and it was absolutely horrendous but I learned a few things so it wasn’t a completely wasted effort.
Once I bought a pack of super super cheap canvas. I knew they wouldn't be the best quality, but the price was so cheap. They weren't primed at all. I learned my beginners lesson. I applied liquid white, put in the sky, followed by some clouds. I planned on finishing the painting the next day. I came back and my sky and clouds were virtually gone. It looked like it was washed off. The canvas soaked up all of the values. Gesso is important when using a thinning medium, lol
Yeah I use the foam brush for liquid clear all the time. Less streaks/ brush marks for the gesso . Sometimes two applications of gesso. Fun doing silhouettes with black gesso and painting around that and over . Nice intro graphic by the way.
I tried my first Bob Ross style painting today I used too much liquid white on the canvass I made my own with water soluble linseed oil an water soluble titanium white any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks your vids are awesome the painting was a mess trying to paint trees and clouds

Love your videos! Do you think you could do one on what happens when you put too much liquid white? I noticed when I try and fluff my clouds some of them will smear into the sky so I’m not sure if I’m using too much liquid white or not.
Love your channel. Very informative & helpful... Is there any safe and simple way to clean the 2 inch brush while painting in Bob Ross style of wet on wet technique instead of turps....??? Advice would be much appreciated...Thanks.
I give a few tips in this video below. Give it a peak: th-cam.com/video/9ABfigTK8dU/w-d-xo.html I do plan on making a video of healthier ways to paint and clean your brushes. Make sure you hit the sub button so you know when it goes live.
- Gesso First - Then let it dry ( you can repeat as many times as you want, its up to you and your style) - Then Add Liquid White, ( Nice thing Layer ) - Thats It. Good Luck :)
What’s the difference between liquid white and magic white? Is there a situation when I should use one of them instead of the other? Thanks so much for your help!
I'm not new to the wet on wet method, BUT by experimenting I've discovered how to make my own liquid white. However, I just finished chemo & radiation so I'm a but weak to stand so long & paint, so I've got a painting tutorial I started 3-4 days ago & want to finish that but now my liquid clear is tacky. I'm thinking if I reapply a minimal amount of liquid clear, then reapply the transparent colors, then proceed with the rest of the painting? Will this even work? It's the northern lights tutorial btw if that helps, any?
You can make your own version - I show a couple of recipes in the videos below. Check Them Out: 3 Recipes: th-cam.com/video/nI5D-HC7e5o/w-d-xo.html Wild White: th-cam.com/video/uOZACe0v_Do/w-d-xo.html
Question... I know the benefits of gesso and liquid white. Should I use only liquid white, only gesso or can I use gesso, let it dry and then apply liquid white to work wet on wet in order to have the benefit of both.?? thanks
Let the Gesso Dry then apply the LW. I show the steps in this video here if you need a visual: th-cam.com/video/m_LTAgS7RCg/w-d-xo.html I hope that helps you out. Happy Painting 🔥
Could be hours, days or even weeks! It depends on a lot of factors like: painting surface, amount used, Temperature, etc.... I recommend testing your style and see what results you get.
Hey, I'm getting into a wet on wet and you seem to answer almost all of my questions in these videos, so... thank you! Haha.. I was just wondering if I can use a thin layer of acrylic instead of gesso if I don't have any at hand...?
Yes you can - I have a video that goes into the pluses and minus of both and which one might be best for you. Check it out: th-cam.com/video/vIl1gV8pkyM/w-d-xo.html
Hey Wild, thank you for all the great videos. I'm a true beginner and have a question. So you need to put the magic white on every canvas over your gesso coat? No matter if you used black or white gesso? Keep up the good work man. Much appreciated. LCD...
You dont have too but I would recommend it if you are just starting out. 90% of the time (if you are doing wet on wet painting) You Gesso your entire canvas, let it dry. Then add a liquid base across the entire canvas ( Liquid White, Clear, Black, ECT.) I hope that helps you out.
Apply a layer or two of gesso to your canvas to stop it from soaking in all the paint. Then add yoru LW like I show in the video. Then you will be good to go.

I am not aware of any - You will have to do some research or perhaps the Bob Ross Company can point you in the right directions. I am glad my videos can help you out!
My video coming out this week goes over this so hit that SUB button to know when it drops. But the general answer is just lightly wipe it off and blend.
It shouldn't have any purple in it. Just titanium white with maybe some oil floating on top. As you sure the purple color didn't come from your brush when you applied it to the canvas?
Is too much Magic White the mistake that causes mud mixing? I’d make my phthalo blue sky and try to “fire in” my happy clouds and they’d just mix with the blue.
It can be a few things to be honest. I plan on making a video on this subject matter so "Hit the sub button" to know when it goes live. If you are struggling with clouds mixing with your sky at the moment. Take a look at the 2 videos below. They are game changers: Easy cloud brush: th-cam.com/video/4FyRXDriR_0/w-d-xo.html Cloud Tool: th-cam.com/video/6zN91Tad1M4/w-d-xo.html Hope that helps!
Magic & Liquid White are the same. You can find where to buy it in the video description below the video player. There are links to everything I mention. Happy Painting for your Hubby :)
Still confused....why should you apply gesso instead of just using liquid white? I wasn't aware that you needed both before painting, for the wet on wet style of painting?
I have a few videos that go over this subject more in-depth and give examples ( which I will attach below ).BUT basically gesso helps seal your canvas and gives your paint something to grab, while LW is a base medium that allows your colors to blend naturally on the canvas. There is more to it BUT thats the basics... watch the videos for more info.

@@WildCreates, thank you for your time and the explanation. I'm wondering though why this gesso prep isn't mentioned on other painting channels, anywhere ( except for here) and why such a important part of the painting process is left out?
I think its a few things... it kind of falls under the category of basic and non sexy art knowledge. So most artists skip that step cause they assume you already know about it. OR when you buy canvases they come with a gesso coating already on there ( so again artist skip that step). But like I say in the video, the gesso coating can be sparse or lacking. I try to teach people on this channel as if they know nothing at all and are super brand new to painting. I basically like to cover the basics and build up from there he he he If you really want to learn about gesso and how important it is. Just type in how to prep a canvas for painting on YT and you will see tons of videos covering gesso and its abilities.
The liquid white you hear about is for oil painting. ( I have a video that explains it a little better and what its uses are for ). However you can create the same affect by making your own liquid white for acrylics. I have two videos on it if you are interested. I will put them below: What is LW: th-cam.com/video/a6Iov7iR82I/w-d-xo.html 3 Recipes: th-cam.com/video/nI5D-HC7e5o/w-d-xo.html Acrylic Liquid White: th-cam.com/video/uOZACe0v_Do/w-d-xo.html

They are the same thing - Just made my different manufactures is all.
Hope that helps
Thanks. This true for acrilic painting as well.
No. Oil paints and acrylic paints don’t mix when wet. You can make a version of liquid white with open acrylics and some mediums.
I'm not new to the wet on wet method, BUT by experimenting I've discovered how to make my own liquid white. However, I just finished chemo & radiation so I'm a but weak to stand so long & paint, so I've got a painting tutorial I started 3-4 days ago & want to finish that but now my liquid clear is tacky.

It's the northern lights tutorial btw if that helps, any?
Yes this will work. I do it all the time BUT you only need to use a little bit.
I sometimes work in stages so perhaps give that a try.

Do we have to put the gesso first and then the liquid white before painting?
Do the gesso first, let it dry then add liquid white
Should wait for the liquid white to dry before painting?
No, once you apply it, Start painting.
Just curious how long before the liquid white dries? Also if not getting Bob Ross any specific type to look for. Thanks.
Could be hours, days or even weeks!
It depends on a lot of factors like: painting surface, amount used, Temperature, etc....
