I've been struggling with those 'Bob Ross' trees this week (the fan brush and I just aren't getting along) so I checked TH-cam. Lo and behold this video pops up just in time! Very helpful. I'll also try making the noises which helps to create those trees, too.😊
Thank you so much!!! I’d get the sky and mountains done and the second I put in a tree I would get so discouraged! Trying this as soon as I get off work
Just came across your video today. I was looking for this exact teaching. You are great at explaining, engaging and really having patients with your audience. I want to thank you
This was very helpful after struggling on and off with these trees. I painted 5 evergreen trees on a practice canvas following these techniques and felt like they were some of the best I have done.
thx Bram. i found that i wasnt pushing my brush hard enough as the tree grows. appreciate you showing us the proper technique, and loading the correct amount of paint on the brush. I just love your tutorial videos. soooo helpful.
Thanks for taking the time once again for specific brush technique. It’s really appreciated and well done. If you’re looking for a wish list, hehe, maybe one day you could post one on mountain snow breaks with the palette knife. I feel like I couldn’t possibly have a lighter touch but paint always wants to stuff off. I’m sure it just comes with time and practice, but your instructional videos are great and very helpful. Thanks Bram!!
Greetings from Ireland Bram, many thanks, this and the bushes tutorial have help me so much, I have been practicing loads and things are starting to fall into place, looking forward to painting along to a full painting tutorial.
Cool explanation, Very intact.. please make more on tutorials like Grass, Bush, we need it more than we expected now. Not just me tho'all of your viewers are getting better with your brush stroes and explanations. Thanks to you pal. :D
@@paintwithbram I also loved your video on how to paint bushes. I tried it and it works! They weren’t perfect, but you helped me understand how the process works.
Great tutorial - way helpful! I'm painting with acrylics and would like to learn about the best characteristics of a good fan brush. Any info appreciated! 😊 P.S. Thanks to your video, my first tree even with a questionable brush, isn't horribly embarrassing.
Just found your you tube videos. Great instructions on painting trees. Which video shows how to paint pine trees with a large filbert brush ? Thank You Appreciate the feed back.
Great tutorial! I've been wanting to paint trees more but they look so terrible I was afraid to keep trying. I see now how to do it. Thank you for a great video!
Great tutorial! I’ve watched yours and one other and they are both great but I just can’t get it right! I think it’s my fan brush…when you make your taps you can clearly hear it on the canvas. I cannot on mine, I think ( correct me if I’m wrong) my fan brush is not stiff enough. I’ve been trying for about an 1.5 today and could never get a beautiful tree like yours. I will practice more but I’m also going to see if I can find a better brush.
I'm 49 yrs old and have always wanted to take up painting ...is there any painting kit that you suggest I get as a beginner? There are so many kits on Amazon I don't know where to start...I also subscribed to your channel so I can watch your videos to help me on my painting journey
I went to Bob Ross paint class in FL. Had to buy/use only BR brushes. My large fan brush "WILL NOT" make a fine line to start. I try to bring it to a Chisle edge and it just puts a 1/4 wide dab every time it's like I'm making bush background.
My problem paint won’t come off my fan brush easy so I have to push harder resulting in large leaves also on my fan brush the bristles separate leaving just a few bristles sticking out on the sides what kind of bristles are your fan brush
Hey Bram, great tutorial. But one question. I have a perfect painting going. But then when I go to do foreground evergreens and such. The paint doesn’t seem to wanna come off my fan brush that easily. And when I press harder it seems to be the same way. I’m loading it pretty thick. With Bob Ross paints either mountain mixture or a random a color mix like Bob did. What am I doing wrong? I feel like I def have liquid white applied etc.
Thank you so much for this. I wonder what brand fan brush you are using? I feel like thst may be an issue of mine just not using the right brush for this
Hey I have a picture i want to paint as a gift for a family in need, I was wondering if you could show how to paint, is there any way I could send you the picture so you can explain it?
i dont have trouble with the rush but when i make my trees it picks up the colours from the BG for example when i make one that overlaps the tree. And then when i want to put on highlights shit really hts the fan, my brush barely deposits colour even tho i add either liquid white or liquid clear. I dont know wtf im supposed to do, anyone can help?
I have watched tons of Ross videos and have yet to find an "up" tree. I live in Seattle and everywhere I look there are no trees that have the "down" branches Bob is famous for painting. How did he get away with painting trees that do not exist?
@@paintwithbram I googled hemlock trees and looked at the first ten sites that came up. All had upward turned branches. A few had branches that turned down at the tips however. I truly would like to find an evergreen that Bob had studied.
Bob Ross trees were seriously bizarre looking. In fact his whole style of painting was strange. Bob was fun to watch not because he was a good artist, but because he was silly, and entertaining.
This doesn’t even work three canvases thrown away I’m barely even touching trying to just use the corner of the fan brush and it not matching at all I can barely see the camera is to far away and I’m using mobile to watch.

Sounds exactly like my troubles lol I be at work wanting to be home painting.🙂
why the hell did it take me almost a year to learn to paint a tree but a cloud and mountain and water and the sky took a day
Just came across your video today. I was looking for this exact teaching. You are great at explaining, engaging and really having patients with your audience. I want to thank you
The way he explains things are so soothing ❤️. Thank you for being our internet teacher 🖼🎨🎨
I struggle with pine trees and this is a nice simple, direct tutorial. Thank you.

Glad it helped Scott! Thanks again for watching!
I loved watching, I have a hard time with the trees. Thank you for teaching us, from Newfoundland, Canada.💜🇨🇦
Thank you for watching!
This is a very well defined teaching for those with limited art education.
Your evergreen painting tutorial is literally the best I’ve seen. Please make more tutorials! ❤
Will do! I think the Bush video is the best. What would you like to see?
@@paintwithbramCan you please show us what brushes and paint you use? I tried to copy what you said but it just wouldn’t work.
@@paintwithbramAnd Merry Christmas!

There is a mountain video on the page.
@@paintwithbram oops! Thank you!!!
I just want to say I’m so thankful for you’re guide I’ve never drawn such beautiful trees
Very well explained ! I now know the corner of the brush must point up to the ceiling so to say! Thanks mate!
Thank you for showing this. You make it look so easy. I will try it tomorrow and see.

Great lesson , thanks.
These are great! I’m just getting into painting

Just found your channel and subscribed. This is EXACTLY what I have been searching for…. I may delete the other channels altogether.
Very helpful! Thanks. Love your video - glad I found your channel.
Glad it was helpful! Glad you found the channel as well!

Awesome thanks
😂 it’s a whale! Love it. Thanks for the tutorial 😊
Another excellent tutorial, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it

P.S. Thanks to your video, my first tree even with a questionable brush, isn't horribly embarrassing.
wish you could do a tutorial on just how much paint is actually loaded. This is one of my issues. For trees, water splashes, clouds, sky etc.
Great Tutorial. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice video...
Excellent!
Thank you! Cheers!
I’ve always wondered how to paint whales 🐳 lol love it
Thank you
This helps me so much!!! Thank you!!! 🙏🏻
You're so welcome!
Thank you 💓
My first try the paint was too thick. When I thinned just a little my trees were spot on
Just found your you tube videos. Great instructions on painting trees. Which video shows how to paint pine trees with a large filbert brush ? Thank You Appreciate the feed back.

Im having the same problem. My bristles seem too soft and spread apart with gaps
That is very good
Thanks Kim!

I would contact the company. Sounds like you have a bad one for sure. You could also look around for another brand
My problem paint won’t come off my fan brush easy so I have to push harder resulting in large leaves also on my fan brush the bristles separate leaving just a few bristles sticking out on the sides what kind of bristles are your fan brush
What size brush are you using? I bought a inexpensive brush today and it sucks. How much should I spend for a brush?
Thank you so much! Would this work for a tiny tree on a Christmas ornament wood cut, if I used a smaller fan brush?
The fan brush technique was explained in detail on how to hold it and pressing into canvas

Hey I have a picture i want to paint as a gift for a family in need, I was wondering if you could show how to paint, is there any way I could send you the picture so you can explain it?
So then you push up to get the brush corner to push down? But do you need a lot of paint on the brush?
Could you do a mountain tutorial ?
Does it matter whether I use acrylic or oil paint to make the trees?
Thanks!
Welcome!

Sounds like you need a touch more lw or a tiny bit of paint thinner. Also, make sure your dark color stays as thick as possible.
Hi, What's the secret for keeping a nice chiseled edge on your brush? Thank You in advance
Lots of paint! You have to pull both sides through any of the brushes you want to chisel and load up the paint.
@@paintwithbram Right on... Thnx again 🖼
I’m using poster colour and the fan brush keeps separating apart
you rock attorney man!!
Thanks buddy! I'm just here scratching away these paintings.
Hi.. looking for a decent t brand of fan brushes please..thank you
Can you give me a link for the fan brush???
Any art supply store should have fans
I have watched tons of Ross videos and have yet to find an "up" tree. I live in Seattle and everywhere I look there are no trees that have the "down" branches Bob is famous for painting. How did he get away with painting trees that do not exist?
There are plenty of trees like bobs down trees. Hemlocks is one that comes to mind.
@@paintwithbram I googled hemlock trees and looked at the first ten sites that came up. All had upward turned branches. A few had branches that turned down at the tips however. I truly would like to find an evergreen that Bob had studied.
Do you have any idea for any Mountain ??
I paint tons of mountains on here
@@paintwithbram yes indeed I’ve watched a few!
