Very vital… I might not have quite mastered keeping it wet but I definitely have perfected beating off!!!😂😂 I’m talking about painting folks… obviously 😅😮😊
I just used some scrap wood to make a “tee” of sorts that sits down in the bottom of my trash can. Basically it’s a 1x8 that stands vertical and I just use it to “beat the devil out of it”. Works perfect and didn’t really cost me a dime.
Wild Creates I guess I can’t post pictures here so I added a couple pictures to my blog. adriansanders1981.wixsite.com/purposeinthepaint/post/beat-the-devil-out-of-it
The whole time I was watching this I was thinking, "I already have this & know how to use it, what I really wish he'd talk about is the Bob Ross Conditioner & how to use that. I'm going to make a comment asking him to do a video on it as soon as this one's over." And then it was like you were reading my mind the whole time :)
On his last video I asked him to do one for the conditioner because I have never seen any video on how to use it. He responded to my comment and said he would do one. Finally it looks like we will get one on how to use it.
Ha ha ha - Working my way up too it he he he - Just wanted to knock this video out first... I always get asked about the BR conditioner - I think its time I show it to the world :)
I have been doing air brush for a long time and just started the wet on wet technique. My question is:: once you place the liquid white what do you need to do if you only get thru half your painting?? or does the entire painting need to be done in ONE SITTING. Thank you in advance for your help. Lanny
I get this question a lot and should do a video on it. Short answer is find a happy and complete stopping point. For example: finish the entire mountain and not just half of it ( this will help when you come back ). Then check with your brush & and a little color if the canvas is still slick. IF its not, add a little liquid medium in the section you will be painting. Hope that helps.
hey wild me again !! i have found a toast rack as an alternative beater rack. it works great! just in case you cant find/afford the official BRI one. Love
Hey Wild your videos are really great. I’m just starting out. But my hesitations starting to paint - even w Bob Ross products- were best basic tools, setup, and cleanup. Really I watched a number of your videos over and over again before I even placed my beginner painting order. Thanks!
Nah go for it bro.... I would really recommend the Bob Ross Master paint set and build up from there. It really is one of the best ways to dive in. Check this video out on it ( th-cam.com/video/5sNyjCcsBdI/w-d-xo.html ) If you get one, you can always go through my link too to help support the channel :)
Hey Wild, I am new to oil painting. Is it that you use the bucket with the insert while painting, then to thoroughly clean the brush, you dip the brush in thinner and use the waste basket with rack to beat the brush clean? Thank you for all the great tutorials ❤️
Glad to help... You like this still. You will want 2 cleaning stations: 1) A bucket with a cleaning screen that has thinner in it. This will get off all big junks of paint. You can see a video on it here: th-cam.com/video/Em3yaAdtWss/w-d-xo.html 2) A beater rack and waste bin. This allows you to clean off the extra thinner that might be on the brush. Which this video is about. I hope that helps.
Thanks Wilde, I was always curious how good that bob ross beater rack worked! Definitely will be purchasing that! And yes please a video on the bob ross brush conditioner
I'm having a lot of trouble finding this in the UK. I'd be super interested in a video on how to make my own, and how to clean my brushes properly between colours.
Not sure if they ship to the UK - But you can try the BR store direct - BUT I will show you how to make one in a future video for ya too :) I plan on doing a video on how to properly clean brushes too - You will love me for it cause its eye opening 💪
Hi Wild...I keep seeing people online saying that using the Bob Ross method of "beating the devil" out of your brush is dangerous due to the particulates that are generated in the air. I see that this is an older video. Have you continued to use your beater rack? I'm just getting started with oil painting and am trying to decide what method I should use to clean my brushes.
Glad to help. Short answer is YES I still use it, BUT I use it in a much safer fashion. I always paint in a well ventilated room, I only pull the brush gently across the rack ( no beating the devil out ), and I cover my trash can with a thick towel when I am not using it ( to prevent vapors coming up ) I hope that helps you out
I am 50/50 on it.... It depends on you and your style. I actually did a full review on it if you want to see whats good and bad about it: th-cam.com/video/nllcBdS5Igg/w-d-xo.html
I have 2 paint-along tutorials where I show this - Check them out: - Super Simple: th-cam.com/video/u3Ic4lUjU7o/w-d-xo.html - Beginner: th-cam.com/video/XKXjNQ3lMUk/w-d-xo.html Hope that helps
Please show us how to make our own rack. I am considering using the rack out of a baked goods drying pan. I can remove the rack and bend it to fit inside a waste can. But the gauge of the wires is not as thick so I hope it would not be rough on the bristles.
Do we worry about all those paper towels with paint on them catching fire? Should I throw away with water? How about the trash liner of the brush beater? Not sure how to dispose of. Thank you!
Thinner wont combust but linseed oil can ( in the extreme right conditions ).When all done for the day, I personally use an empty paint can filled with a little water to rinse the towels ( to dilute them ) Then let them dry and throw them away. Using a liner in for your beater bin is great - thats whay I do for easy clean up :)
I think I have two videos on this. Give them a peep and see if that helps: - Starting: th-cam.com/video/axivJ6sCGCQ/w-d-xo.html - Shaping: th-cam.com/video/CRTYhAOOAs8/w-d-xo.html
Helpful review, is it dangerous to throw away the garbage bag with wet oil paints and thinner in it? I have been hearing and trying to find if that is dangerous. This method seems easy, but do you have to store the trashbag in some metal container after or something?
I have never really had any issues. To be honest they way I do it is.... Once I am done painting I will take the bag or entire trash can outside and let the oil and thinner dry up. Then I toss it away.
You can, in fact there are many like walnut, safflower, baby, etc. However, it can take longer to clean brushes cause its not as effect BUT still work. If you are on the more health conscious side of things. May I recommend this product below. It is considered to be one of the best and healthiest cleaners on the market. Check it out. geni.us/ChelseaLavenderCleaner Hope that helps
@@WildCreates It's not so much of being health conscious, it's that I bought badger hair brushes that I don't want to mess up by using mineral spirits unless it's totally fine. What mineral solvent would you recommend that will extend the life of my natural hair brushes? Yy
That cleaner I linked will work fine or any artist grade mineral spirit will work. If you are looking for something that will increase the longevity of your brushes. I highly highly recommend this product here: Master Cleaner: th-cam.com/video/gDaoXPk-nWQ/w-d-xo.html Hope that helps.
I show in another video how to make one out of a wire rack that you can get from discount stores. I think you are referring to the same thing. The only thing you have to look out for is the sizes sometimes dont fit in a trash can. th-cam.com/video/zvuWmI-Ribg/w-d-xo.html
What I personal do is when your all done and its time to change bags. Take the whole thing outside remove the rack from the bin and allow the liquid/pigment to dry up in the bag. Once that is down you can remove the bag and throw it away with your normal trash
Hi Wild! New comer here. Thanks for creating this video! By the way, I can't locate the links to purchase the trash bins in your description tab. Thanks again!!
Hi there, I'm new to your channel and new to painting in general lol. So i was curious, do i actually need this for using acrylic paints? That's what i decided on what i wanted to work on.
@@WildCreates Ah ok got it. I also want to thank you for showing us the dimensions of the Beater Rack! I have been searching for a video that does it and no luck up until this video and for that I'm definitely subscribing!
Generally kitchen Spice Racks or kitchen organizer shelves - But most of them are too long or wide..... So may require a little bit of tinkering. But still good options
Hi Wild, I've been watching your videos since I wanted to get into oil painting and specifically Bob Ross' style. I've bought that beater rack and plan to put it on the bottom of a trash can or carboard box with a trash bag in in like you show. But my concern is: we know that thinner is one of those dangerous materials that can spontaneously combust. Is there any danger of that in a plastic bag? Or are those droplets too small to pose any danger?
I get this question a lot. You concerns are valid but it takes a lot or the right conditions for it to happen. If you are smart; use it correctly, clean up correctly, and store it correctly ( all steps are easy BTW). You will have no issue at all. Hope that helps.
@@WildCreates Thank you for the response! That puts my mind at ease, well at least a bit haha. What would you recommend me doing with the trash bag after a painting session? I was thinking about maybe spraying water in there as well, but I'm not sure if that would do anything. The issue is that paint thinner as Bob Ross uses it is not widely available in my country so I've had it imported, but that also means there aren't any people I know that use it or know how to store it safely. I read that it is similar to terpentine, but more flammable if I'm not mistaken. I have paint cans and glass jars to store the paint thinner, so that should be okay. But what about the trash bag you used for brush beating, what do you for example do with it after painting? And do you store your jars with paint thinner indoors or in the garage? Thanks in advance!
To be honest - I keep it very simple. I just wipe my can/beater rack clean with paper towels when I am done and let it air dry outside. I let my paper towel and trash bag dry out then throw them away. I store all my thinners in my garage in a nice safe and cool spot
@@WildCreates Thanks! Sounds simple but also rational haha. I'll let them dry out outside, and then I'll store the thinner and trash in the garage which is underground for me, so luckily it'll always be in a cool spot.
You wanna shape and condition your brushes when you are done painting - This will help the ends from going all fury at the ends. Look into these products below: - Master Cleaner ( th-cam.com/video/gDaoXPk-nWQ/w-d-xo.html ) - BR Soap ( th-cam.com/video/X-aG6dfSYVI/w-d-xo.html )
Okay soo here's the deal: That is a: cabinet organizer. A shelf. A spice rack raiser upper. Whatever you wish to call it. It's flimsy wire covered in a rubber coating. BobRoss official site tries to sell these for 8$ + shipping which I don't understand ( I wish I could upload pics of mine) because this same thing is sold at the Dollar Store for: well.. lol.. one dollar.
I think you would find my other video super interesting then ( th-cam.com/video/zvuWmI-Ribg/w-d-xo.html ) Even though the BR beater rack can be considered a glorified spice rack, its still a great option for painters that may not have a dollar store in their area. Since spice racks are generally bigger/wider than the BR ones. The BR rack is more for the person that doesn't wanna deal with finding a bigger/wider trash can or have to make alterations to their spice rack to make it fit.
Never seen one for $1 at any of my dollar store... More like $5 to $10. But I give that tip in this video here: th-cam.com/video/zvuWmI-Ribg/w-d-xo.html
Very vital… I might not have quite mastered keeping it wet but I definitely have perfected beating off!!!😂😂

So after you beat the devil out of it,
How long does vapor last when I found out about this on 4:21?
You would have to check the SDS sheets to see that info. Can be found on the manufactures website.
