I'm terribly bad at getting my trees to look great, your tutorials are making my paintings just pop out. I get a lot of compliments. Thank you so so much for taking time to teach us beginners!
You are so welcome Grandma. I love making those trees, and I am so happy that the video has helped you. It is always wonderful to get compliments on a painting, and I am glad you are getting them. 🌹
Yes it was fantastic Dena! 💕 I so much appreciate you help and friendship. Sometimes I am so lost with all this new technical stuff out there. Most of it is way above my head. Thank goodness for friends willing to help out. Hugs 🌹🤗🎄
I wish you luck on these trees Jgb. It is hard learning how to use the right angle and just the right pressure, but you will love doing them once you learn it.
WOW Shelly, What a wonderful holiday gift. 🎁 And thank you so much. That is really appreciated. 😘 This will definitely go towards buying more painting supplies so I can make more videos. Thank you and happy holidays. 🎄🤗💕
Glad to showed also the wrong way to do it!!! Since this is the way I messed up the trees the first two times, I hope that my third try will be better. Stationing your video in front of me as I practice!! Thank you!!!
Did it work the third time around Lydia? I hope so. It really is just a matter of getting the right pressure and the right angle of the brush. Then there is no stopping you. 🤗
Yovette, I am such a fan of your painting! Your personality is encouraging, & makes me feel so relaxed & motivated to try new things & to improve the techniques that I’ve been working on. Blessings on all you are doing; please continue your postings-they are so valuable!
Aww, that is so sweet of you to say Rebecca. Thank you bunches. I work hard at easy teaching so new artists can follow along with me. I am just getting ready to upload my latest painting on youtube June 1st. I think you will love it. Happy Memorial Day.
Hello Yovette 👋 thank you for this video ,I do have a problem with the trees ,and you have been a great help ,I feel now where I have been going wrong, and I will definitely try out a flat brush ,see you soon in your next video keep safe take care 👩🏼🎨
You are not alone, Sylvia. So many people have problems with trees. I'm happy that this video has helped. I think you will enjoy using a flat brush once you learn how. It does take some practice. Have fun with it. 🤗💕🌹
I am so glad that my tree video was able to help you, Sarah. That is wonderful news. I hope you find more videos that are helpful for you. Have a blessed day. 🌺💕
I just found you and I am so over the moon happy I did. What a beautiful lady you are. Such a lovely warm personality and a fantastic artist. I’ve done a few Bob Ross paintings nothing as nice as yours I’m still very much a beginner. I’m in London but I’m going to come over to America next year to do the Bob Ross instructors course in Florida that’s my goal. If I could paint half as good as you im be a very happy lady. Not sure where you are in America but maybe I could say hi when im over. I can learn so much from your videos im so grateful. Your new subscriber, much love and blessings Carly xxxx
I am delighted to meet you Carly, And I welcome you to my channel. Thank you for your warm and wonderful comment. Like you, we all started out as beginners. But with every painting you do, you will get better and better. Unfortunately, while you will be in Florida, I am all the way over on the other side of the United States. I am on the West Coast of Oregon. So though we will not meet in person, we will always remain art friends through TH-cam. Wishing you the best in your Bob Ross classes. Many blessings, 🤗🌲
Ms. Yovette! Another great tutorial! By the way, got my first small set of “water soluble paints”. I tried some small tests and they work very nicely. Also, I’ve been applying less and less of the Liquid White to the canvas (using the fingerprint test of course) and I find when I find that right balance-the painting is so much easier. THANKS SO MUCH AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you and Yours! K.
That is really great news Karl! It will take you a little bit to get used to the water mixables oils, but I think you will love them once you start experimenting a little. I have not put up very many new tutorials on them yet, but they will be coming. The clean up is wonderful, and it is so much healthier for your body. I am amazed at how many of my followers are starting to use them now, and are really enjoying them. My December 1st video will be a WMO painting. Hoping you will try it. It is one I really like. And yes, you have to be so careful of that liquid white to not get too much on the canvas. I am really enjoying making my own soft white medium with just a mix of WMO Titanium white and water mixable linseed oil. Stay in touch and let me know how it is coming along. Happy Thanksgiving to you too, dear blessings. 🤗💕
You definitely are not the only ones struggling with these trees Tugboat. It is one of the harder trees to learn. But ever so much fun once you master it! 💕
Thank you so much for this! I am actually a watercolor artists and have struggled with painting trees for the past 2 years. I stumbled upon you when looking for something on TH-cam and figured well maybe I can translate that from her painting medium to watercolor and I tried just one with a slightly larger fan brush because that's all I had and it made a really decent looking tree. So thank you so very much
For the first tree Paula I used a Bob Ross #3 fan brush, and for the second tree I used a Royal & Langnickel 3/4” flat brush. Any size brush (and or) brand will work once you have learned how to paint the trees.
Oh Karl! My gosh, thank you bunches for this wonderful holiday gift! 🎁I so appreciate it, and will definitely put it to good use. This will help to make a great new future tutorial. Big hugs, and wishing you the very best always! Thank you for supporting me in so many ways! 💕🤗🎄❤️🌹
I like these short tutorials concentrating on problem areas. Of course I love all of your painting because you explain so well. I know you paint in oil but I do acrylic so is there anything I need to do differently? Do you ever paint with acrylic? 🙂❤👍
Glad you like the short videos Wanda! I do paint an acrylics, but not very often. Usually my acrylic work is done on painting rocks with my sister. To answer your question, no, there is nothing you need to do different working with acrylic. The only difference is that it dries faster. But the technique would be the same. Just try it out, and I think you will find that it works well.
Well, I sure do hope this will help you Doretha, I can tell you from experience, it takes a lot of practice. Never give up. Just keep trying it over and over until it works. Practice on your palette or an old piece of cardboard, or just anything that you can find just to get used to it. It will pay off big time. Happy Thanksgiving. 🤗
Excellent video and very well explained. Will this method work with acrylic paints? I am painting a large diorama type backdrop on Masonite and need many (both closeup and distant) evergreen trees that are found in the Colorado mountain areas. Thanks in advance and very well explained technique. Philip
Doing these trees with acrylic paint should work absolutely wonderful Philip. Just make sure that you're more distant trees are a slight bit lighter than your foreground trees. Best of luck with the project, and thank you for the nice compliment. 🌺
@@PaintingWithYovette Thanks Yovette for the reply. I appreciate you following up with me. I am going to have to practice quite a bit to master the technique before I paint the final trees. I am taking your advice to practice first as it will take me a while to get adept at making the trees look realistic like your trees. All the best and thanks. Philip Jersey Shore Area
@@uptownphotography Often times Philip, I practice doing trees on butcher, (or freezer paper) or cardboard. It's easy cleanup and throw away and you don't waste any canvas. You are smart to do a lot of practice first. The more you do, the better it gets. I am in Oregon, a long way from Jersey Shore! 🤗
@@PaintingWithYovette That's a good idea. I am going to look for cardboard etc to practice on! You live in a very beautiful state. I have never been there, but it always looks really nice when I see it in a movie. I am modeling Colorado mountain areas in HO scale (hence needing good looking evergreen trees) and both Oregon and Colorado look really awesome to me. Being a model train person both those areas are great locations to model. I know Colorado still has vintage steam engines running and if memory serves me correctly there might be a narrow gauge steam era railroad in your state as well. I will have to research it! Thanks! Philip
@@uptownphotography I'm not sure about any railroads being in our area Philip. I have lived in both Colorado and presently in Oregon. And you are right. Both of these states are gorgeous. And I lived in Alaska a good part of my life. Talk about beautiful trees! That is the best place of all! That sounds like fun project you are doing.
Could you tell us just what #3 fan brush you use with oil, Yovette ? Because I have hog hair stiff like a bristle broom, a Windsor Newton I had to press straight. Taklon ones etc. They all but one or two, a Princeton #2 and a tiny Velvet Touch also from Princeton, seem to fight back and especially with evergreens. Those two Princetons work pretty well but if I'm gonna buy a #3 or 4, I'd like what you're using. Thanks for any info !
In this tutorial David I am using a #3 Bob Ross Fan brush. It is a stiff hog hair. I find that I like that one the best for doing most of my trees. If I am using a large canvas, I will switch over to a #6 fan brush. The other brush is an inexpensive synthetic 3/4" brush and can be any brand. I have never tried a Princeton, but I have heard they are very nice brushes. 🌹
I ordered the Bob Ross #3 last night, should be in my hands tomorrow...The problem with my hog bristle fan brushes in this size range is the uneveness of the length of bristles. The Winston is ok after pressing ( it was warped like an airplane wing)but it's a #6 and my Prinstons are the other extreme, very small, great for certain things like tiny evergreens.. So lately I've been leaning more on the synthetic brushes I have in paintings up to 16x20 or certainly 12x18.. I just liked the looks of how your brush worked and of course always how Bobs work .Of course in either case I fully understand it's not all about the brush but also the painters using them..
@@davidg.5076 I am really hoping that you get one of the good brushes David. Many are saying that the new manufacturing company is not producing good products like the old ones. Mine are very old. I have had them for years. They were well made and really took a lot of abuse. I would like to know your thought after you receive and use the #3 brush. The #3 is a perfect size for a 12x16 canvas.
I'm hoping so too, I do recall hearing that as well now that you mention it ! If I don't lose the link, I'll post back. Be glad to. I did some pruning on a #2 hog bristle fan brush today. Just plucked with tweezers a few unruly hairs. The jury is still out if it could be called a tune up or not !@@PaintingWithYovette
Hi Great video, most helpful, our problem is we are using the #3 fan brush and every time we apply oil paint to it our bristles all separate and there is no way you can paint with it, any idea what we are doing wrong, why do the bristles separate into clumps and very little paint ends up on the canvas?
That is an interesting question Ms! The only thing that comes to my mind is that the brush does not have a large enough amount of paint on it to begin with. Or it could be that possibly the paint is too thin? Without seeing it, it is hard to know what the problem is. Try loading the brush with a thicker and larger amount of paint and see if that helps. Let me know.
@@PaintingWithYovette Hi Yovette Wish I could have posted a picture of my brush, but no option on here. these are brand new, 3 fan brushes all doing the same thing, obviously it’s not the brush, really holding me back!
Hi Yovette this was such a detailled tree painting lesson - love the close up mixing on your palette beautifully done
Thank you so much Snowy. 😊 I am pleased with how the updated versions of the videos are coming along. Thank you for viewing.
Novice painter here. I never knew you were to use one side of the brush. That will make it a lot easier. Thanks for the video. Kindness, Teresa
Happy to help Teresa! Thank you for your comment. Hope it will help you with painting trees.
I'm terribly bad at getting my trees to look great, your tutorials are making my paintings just pop out. I get a lot of compliments. Thank you so so much for taking time to teach us beginners!
