Winsor Newton is good firm paint - You can see an example of it in this video here ( th-cam.com/video/afpoNnOnD3k/w-d-xo.html ) You can also see which one I buy in the links in the video description. I hope that helps :)
thank you much! does making the paint firmer for the mountain itself (and snow, i'm having trouble with the mountain) show up on the canvas? I feel like i maybe putting too much liquid white, i scrape off as much excess as i can, but my scenery always looks mushy. My backgrounds look great, but my trees and mountains end up too thin.
You are a super hero!! I'm 70 and just started painting 3 weeks ago! My son wants a 'snowy mountain' painting for his birthday next week and I've been 'mixing mud' for the last 5 days!! Even though I'm using acrylics, you nailed my problem! I'm following you for life!! Thank you so much!
Glad to hear that you are starting a new creative adventure in life... Super Awesome! Stoked to hear that I could help you with your painting issues. Would love to know which particular issue/problem you were having. Feedback is always good for future videos.
The paper towel tip was huge for me. One of my failed attempts was a tiger claw set of mountains. I struggle a bit with "lack of creativity". I now lay them out fine, but the "direction" to make them look unique and interesting is a bit slow in coming. Also, acrylic paint is very thin. Found out accidently that by letting the white paint sit out awhile, thickens it up to where I got the paint to break beautifully. My daughter-in-law said it looked like a photograph. High praise -- even though it was an accident lol. Thanks again. I've watched hundreds of videos, but yours is the best by far!
I am glad I can help you out and dominate mountains. If you wanna them to the next level I have a full in-depth breakdown which you can see here: th-cam.com/video/iaLLJrklgbU/w-d-xo.html
I am glad I found you tonight, you are the best wet on wet teacher there is. Bill A . and Bob R. were wonderful but had a lot to do in a short time and I have nothing negative to say about them. The folks in videos that get under my skin is where they zip through 120mph but say nothing about pressure, tool angles, and such like you do. They just rush through puffing themselves up and basically not doing a beginner any good at all because they ensure that the beginners will not be able to do what they are without a ton of trial and error. You are very specific on your tips and help folks through the exact areas that they are most likely having trouble with. Thank you. There are BS artists, and great artists, and great artists who are great teachers, and that is you, the great artist who is also a great teacher.
Thanks for the beyond awesome comment. My channel has always been about giving you the details no one shares or doesn't have time to share.

I would love to see it - feel free to send an image to any of my socials. I also plan on doing some art review for channel members if that interests you too. Basically I will go over your art and give simple tips on how to make it better... Stay tuned for that.
No you just need practice is all - It takes time to learn the motion. Take a look at the two videos below for a simple tips using the palette knife. - How To Hold: th-cam.com/video/I5v4bSUzFBI/w-d-xo.html - Simple Snow Trick: th-cam.com/video/rZ-9zhdXSl4/w-d-xo.html

Great video I've been painting for a while watch Bob Ross and I am still guilty of the triangle problem on a few paintings until now that I realize how to improve all your points for good from the height of the mountains excetera
Yeah I think when we all start we all make triangles and we all make them the same size too ha ha ha. When you see it, you can't un-see it. I am glad the video could help you become a mountain master :)
Hello there ! A little help, please. When I use the pallet knife for painting the mountains, the paint below is erased up to the canvas. It's very frustrating. Can you explain to me why is that happening ?
What do you mean by "Erased Up?" Are you talking about getting your paint to stick on? If so check out this video below: th-cam.com/video/I5v4bSUzFBI/w-d-xo.html
oh this part is easy - thumbs up...subscribe...hit the bell...now the hard part - more mountains. great tips...and who could not admire a guy with Bob Ross in the background...nicely done.
My white wasn't breaking and I was thinking man did I have too much paint underneath. Now I know I did for sure, next time I'll just rub it off with a paper towel. Thanks man.
I have 2 videos that should help you out a lot - Correct Palette Knife Holding ( th-cam.com/video/I5v4bSUzFBI/w-d-xo.html ) - Simple Snow Trick ( th-cam.com/video/rZ-9zhdXSl4/w-d-xo.html )
This one was one of your best videos for mountain issues!!! However in a lot of your videos you talk about the canvas teeth grabbing...does canvas paper do the same? I'm too scared to touch a canvas in oils yet. I keep buying them though lol
Your videos are awesome. Only started painting earlier this year. The one thing I seem to be having trouble with, is applying highlights to land, creating bushes and such. No matter how thin I make the paint, it still looks like smooshes (maybe smushes?). Anyway, it looks like mud. I haven't seen a video for this, yet. Again, thank you.
That is the hardest part so dont stress to much on it - To be honest I struggle with it too at times. I will see what I can do to make a video on it BUT UNTIL THEN this should help you a little ( th-cam.com/video/W8M5xTOJHvw/w-d-xo.html )
Start with a dark green, let it dry, go over 2/3 of the subject with a medium green, let it dry, mix yellow with a light green and go over the top 1/3. Use a round stiff bristle brush. Spread the bristles out and don't overload the brush. Apply the paint by tapping real lightly just letting the tips of the bristles barely touch the canvas so there are gaps and random patterns of little dots with gaps exposing the color beneath. Just noticed your comment was from 2 years ago.. lol.. oh well.. still leaving my comment.
If you add blue paint to the wet canvas for the sky background the canvas is still wet. Now I want to add brown paint for a mountain. I’d be adding dry paint to the still wet canvas. How is that supposed to stick without mixing?
Check out my in-depth mountain tutorial video. It goes over this very thing PLUS a few more important painting issues: th-cam.com/video/iaLLJrklgbU/w-d-xo.html&t
Hey, I finally caved and bought the bob ross kit, in the note for the kit, it says not to use water and soap to clean the brushes. I have previously used the master's brush cleaner and preserver with water. Would that be okay to use on the bob ross brushes?
You should be fine with that to start. But when you bristles start to looks dry ( as in brittle ) you will need to condition the brush to keep the hair strong.
Thank you Wile Creates, you are a great instructor and I am so thankful for the passion you have in helping others. All you do is much appreciated, thank you a hundred times over. Peace! How can I share some of my painting with you so you can see I'm a product of your instruction.
I dont have one on this painting yet (since I painted this before I started the channel). However, I can see if I can re-paint it and make a tutorial on it. Until then, this video should help you paint better mountains: th-cam.com/video/dJao3LQ70pg/w-d-xo.html
I don't have a video yet that goes in depth on that. However that is not a bad suggestion for a future video. In one of my videos ( th-cam.com/video/gVg-mnaHcJs/w-d-xo.html ) I show you how to make a rich mountain mixture - This will help create the illusion of shadows by having a rich dark base color on a mountain using the wet on wet style. Hope that helps a little
This is the most helpful tips video about mountains there is out there. Thank you for pointing out all of the mistakes that happen and also showing a lot of useful stuff. I didnt draw the boobs yet, but the tiger claw...oh yeah, its out there, lol. I wish the video was longer and also showed how to add several layers of snow to achieve the natural look. I guess I just have to practice and use a lot of midtones. Hopefully you can make more useful tips video.
Tiger Claws are one of those things you don't notice til someone points them out. The same thing will happen with boobie mountains... but now that you are aware of them... you can stay away from those simple mistakes. I like your video suggestion BUT until then this "Simple Mountain Tips" will help you even more. Link: th-cam.com/video/dJao3LQ70pg/w-d-xo.html
While this video is done in oil, many if not all the tips can apply to acrylic paint too ( you just might have to tweak it a little) I have another mountain tip video that may have more acrylic tips in it for you. Give it a peek th-cam.com/video/dJao3LQ70pg/w-d-xo.html
The true answer is just practice I do have a video that might help ease you into breaking your paint for mountains. Check it out ( th-cam.com/video/rZ-9zhdXSl4/w-d-xo.html )
When i paint mountains. the paint thins out when i try to spread it. I'm not sure if it is because im loading the knife wrong, but when you do it, it spreads like butter. When i do it, it's like im smearing snot. Is there a tip for this? I've tried different paints all same result
I have two videos that will help you with this: - (Firmer Paint ) th-cam.com/video/afpoNnOnD3k/w-d-xo.html - (Correct Knife Hold ) th-cam.com/video/I5v4bSUzFBI/w-d-xo.html I am sure these will help you become a mountain master
Yeah it really can be. I have a new video that just dropped - its all about fixing common mistakes and I talk about mountains in it. Give it a peak Link: th-cam.com/video/e1o6EeIPISU/w-d-xo.html
I can't paint mountains. I got into painting to paint landscape scenes, and I can't get the paint to break. It comes off the knife like a big slather of paint. I have tried more paint, less paint more pressure, less pressure.... why can't someone make a tutorial on how to get the paint to break. Bob Ross, Josh and Bram make it look so easy, but I'm done, I quit. I can't do it and I'm tired of wasting canvas.

Don't worry I got ya again. Take a look at the two videos below. One has simple mountain tips that will make your mountains better ten-fold. The 2nd is a tutorial. Watch the part where I make very simple mountains with a brush. Perhaps start there... then build up. Its all about build confidence first.

I have trouble using the palette knife. The paint is not coming off the knife onto the canvas. Do I need to thin the paint?
No you just need practice is all - It takes time to learn the motion. Take a look at the two videos below for a simple tips using the palette knife.

Great video I've been painting for a while watch Bob Ross and I am still guilty of the triangle problem on a few paintings until now that I realize how to improve all your points for good from the height of the mountains excetera
Yeah I think when we all start we all make triangles and we all make them the same size too ha ha ha. When you see it, you can't un-see it. I am glad the video could help you become a mountain master :)
Do you have a Metalic tutorial?
I dont have one at the moment. What are you struggling with?
Cars mainly
Sorry I only do landscapes and abstracts. I don't know much about paint theory for cars.
thank you bro👍👍
You are welcome buddy.

Ive been an oil painter for years and just now trying to emulate this in photoshop and its proving difficult lol
Ha ha ha - I can imagine. Hopefully my videos give you some insight on your digital journey.
Hello there ! A little help, please. When I use the pallet knife for painting the mountains, the paint below is erased up to the canvas. It's very frustrating. Can you explain to me why is that happening ?
What do you mean by "Erased Up?" Are you talking about getting your paint to stick on? If so check out this video below:
th-cam.com/video/I5v4bSUzFBI/w-d-xo.html
oh this part is easy - thumbs up...subscribe...hit the bell...now the hard part - more mountains. great tips...and who could not admire a guy with Bob Ross in the background...nicely done.
Thanks for that sub love Buddy :)
My white wasn't breaking and I was thinking man did I have too much paint underneath. Now I know I did for sure, next time I'll just rub it off with a paper towel. Thanks man.
Glad I can help you out.
This video should help you even more ( th-cam.com/video/afpoNnOnD3k/w-d-xo.html )
Awsome
Glad you like the video
Hi! Thanks for this amazing video. I have trouble using the palette knife for the snow effect. Is there anything else I can use for it?
I have 2 videos that should help you out a lot
- Correct Palette Knife Holding ( th-cam.com/video/I5v4bSUzFBI/w-d-xo.html )
- Simple Snow Trick ( th-cam.com/video/rZ-9zhdXSl4/w-d-xo.html )
This one was one of your best videos for mountain issues!!! However in a lot of your videos you talk about the canvas teeth grabbing...does canvas paper do the same? I'm too scared to touch a canvas in oils yet. I keep buying them though lol
It does BUT it is very fine ( almost smooth ). Normal Canvas has more
Amen.
I am glad the video could help.
Your videos are awesome. Only started painting earlier this year. The one thing I seem to be having trouble with, is applying highlights to land, creating bushes and such. No matter how thin I make the paint, it still looks like smooshes (maybe smushes?). Anyway, it looks like mud. I haven't seen a video for this, yet. Again, thank you.
That is the hardest part so dont stress to much on it - To be honest I struggle with it too at times. I will see what I can do to make a video on it BUT UNTIL THEN this should help you a little ( th-cam.com/video/W8M5xTOJHvw/w-d-xo.html )
Start with a dark green, let it dry, go over 2/3 of the subject with a medium green, let it dry, mix yellow with a light green and go over the top 1/3. Use a round stiff bristle brush. Spread the bristles out and don't overload the brush. Apply the paint by tapping real lightly just letting the tips of the bristles barely touch the canvas so there are gaps and random patterns of little dots with gaps exposing the color beneath.
Just noticed your comment was from 2 years ago.. lol.. oh well.. still leaving my comment.
If you add blue paint to the wet canvas for the sky background the canvas is still wet. Now I want to add brown paint for a mountain. I’d be adding dry paint to the still wet canvas. How is that supposed to stick without mixing?
Check out my in-depth mountain tutorial video. It goes over this very thing PLUS a few more important painting issues:
th-cam.com/video/iaLLJrklgbU/w-d-xo.html&t
@@WildCreates thanks mate
You are super welcome
Newbie as of today 😂... Dude your tips are great.
Welcome to the wet on wet style and welcome to the channel. I am sure my videos will help you out :)
Hey, I finally caved and bought the bob ross kit, in the note for the kit, it says not to use water and soap to clean the brushes. I have previously used the master's brush cleaner and preserver with water. Would that be okay to use on the bob ross brushes?
You should be fine with that to start. But when you bristles start to looks dry ( as in brittle ) you will need to condition the brush to keep the hair strong.
@@WildCreates Thanks for the quick reply! If you can, you should make a video on conditioning brushes lol.
I will see what I can do in a future video for ya :)
So nice...🖼🧑🏻🎨
Thanks buddy - Glad that you liked it
Thank you Wile Creates, you are a great instructor and I am so thankful for the passion you have in helping others. All you do is much appreciated, thank you a hundred times over. Peace! How can I share some of my painting with you so you can see I'm a product of your instruction.
Thank you for the awesome comment.
You can always share your artworks with me on my socials ( found in in the video description )
Great video.
Thank you. Glad you liked it.
It Was an Awesome Tip
I am glad that I could help you with mountains :)
can you show tutorial of this Painting 3:26
I dont have one on this painting yet (since I painted this before I started the channel). However, I can see if I can re-paint it and make a tutorial on it.
Until then, this video should help you paint better mountains: th-cam.com/video/dJao3LQ70pg/w-d-xo.html
Do you have a video that shows/explains how you create realistic shadows on your mountains?
I don't have a video yet that goes in depth on that. However that is not a bad suggestion for a future video.
In one of my videos ( th-cam.com/video/gVg-mnaHcJs/w-d-xo.html ) I show you how to make a rich mountain mixture - This will help create the illusion of shadows by having a rich dark base color on a mountain using the wet on wet style.
Hope that helps a little
This is the most helpful tips video about mountains there is out there. Thank you for pointing out all of the mistakes that happen and also showing a lot of useful stuff. I didnt draw the boobs yet, but the tiger claw...oh yeah, its out there, lol. I wish the video was longer and also showed how to add several layers of snow to achieve the natural look. I guess I just have to practice and use a lot of midtones. Hopefully you can make more useful tips video.
Tiger Claws are one of those things you don't notice til someone points them out. The same thing will happen with boobie mountains... but now that you are aware of them... you can stay away from those simple mistakes.
I like your video suggestion BUT until then this "Simple Mountain Tips" will help you even more.

All my mountains look like the pyramids of giza. I have been avoiding drawing them. I think its time to give it another shot.
@@WildCreates Yay, new video! Thank you so much. I am very happy that I found you.
What about painting mountains with acrylics?
While this video is done in oil, many if not all the tips can apply to acrylic paint too ( you just might have to tweak it a little)
I have another mountain tip video that may have more acrylic tips in it for you. Give it a peek
th-cam.com/video/dJao3LQ70pg/w-d-xo.html
Thank you👍😎
You are welcome buddy - I hope the rest of my videos help you on your creative journey.

When i paint mountains. the paint thins out when i try to spread it. I'm not sure if it is because im loading the knife wrong, but when you do it, it spreads like butter. When i do it, it's like im smearing snot. Is there a tip for this? I've tried different paints all same result
I have two videos that will help you with this:
- (Firmer Paint ) th-cam.com/video/afpoNnOnD3k/w-d-xo.html

I use shop towels so I don’t have the fuzzy on it
The blue shop towels are the best for painting 👍
"no triangle"
not even when painting mount Fuji?
Not even Fuji is a straight triangle.... BUT it is your painting. You can paint it however you want :)
I always draw before i paint whit oil paint or whit watercolours
Thats good - it makes muscle memory for the hand
O ok i dindt know that😅👋🏾👍🏾
7:23 Wow he really waited for me 🥺 ( me that paused the video and came back after I paint 😂 )
I am always here for ya ha ha ha

You got it bro. I will add it to the list. And particular part you struggle with?
Wow there's a lot of ad breaks during the vid.
Gotta Love TH-cam
Love the Tetons, though.
Ha ha ha - Love the heck out of them :)
I can't paint mountains. I got into painting to paint landscape scenes, and I can't get the paint to break. It comes off the knife like a big slather of paint. I have tried more paint, less paint more pressure, less pressure.... why can't someone make a tutorial on how to get the paint to break. Bob Ross, Josh and Bram make it look so easy, but I'm done, I quit. I can't do it and I'm tired of wasting canvas.
DUDE - I got you!!! I have been in your shoes!
I have a few videos that will make you dominate mountains... Make sure to watch all of them in full or even paint along to them. I literally go over all the secrets and why you are struggling with mountains... Its an eye opener. Watch all before painting.
