I am going to paint along with you right now! I'm a beginner and I'm 48 years young wanting a new hobby that is relaxing as well as produces something cool! here we go!!!!!!!
Glad that you found me Stephani. You are never too old or too young to start a new creative adventure. If you are interested check out my playlist of paint-a-longs below: th-cam.com/play/PL1j4vqU7W_o2aZRZRWGx14SpcAGWAU8RE.html
I have done acrylics but am new to oils. In view of this, I have done a TON of research. I am impressed with how well you are at 'teaching', versus the others I've seen, and would love to see you do more like this. You truly connect with people and need to display more of this talent.
That sounds like an awesome momma 💪 Best advice I can give going from acrylic to oils is go super slow.... Oil can be a nightmare if you treat them like acrylics ha ha ha Good luck and let me know how it goes 😝
Definitely will need to try a black canvas sometime. I usually spray paint the background or use black chalk paint and it can get messy so this should help a lot! 💖
Black canvases are super fun. This is a great one to start with because in the next video, I will build upon this painting and teach you how to make a fun little landscape :)
@@WildCreates Well i completed it! I made a boob with the perspective of the hills, i should have made them larger, but not too disasterous. Apart from spilling thiner over my laptop! Now have a nice marbled screen. :( It was brand new as well! Oh well just need to claim on the house insurance and get a new one. :)
Ha ha ha ha oh man - well at least you crafted a memory for sure. The good thing about this painting is now you what you did wrong and correct in the step two painting. When you ready give this one a shot: th-cam.com/video/XKXjNQ3lMUk/w-d-xo.html
@@WildCreates Yep, it was certainly memorable! I didnt know that after 45 years of marriage my wife knew so many swear words ! I will certainly try the one you suggested. Living on the coast in the north highlands of Scotland my eventual aim is to paint land and sea scapes to represent the surroundings. So these are very good exercises. Just one question.... do you also have a vid on hos to reuse a canvass?
Hi there wild! I live your videos and I think your really growing the love of oil painting. I have a video idea, how about a video on comparing making mountains with a brush and with a pallet knife. Because a lot of my friends like to make mountains with a brush. So it might be cool to see your perspective on the idea. Thanks for reading this! Love your vids man!
Wild, I will buy a black canvas and paint with you! You are a gifted teacher. I have 11 x 14 canvases, can I paint them black? Just wondering if I can skip going to the craft store.
Okay Wild-man, you have helped me out some. I have become a subscriber, is there anything else I can do for you? I am good on supplies but will purchase yours next time I stock back up.

Question, I change cloths and paint in an old sweatshirt and sweat pants. Can they be washed with my other clothes or should they be washed seperately? betcha never got that question before ;)
No I get this questions all the time ha ha ha. The honest answer is I don't know. If you wash them, I am not sure how it will affect other clothes or your washer. This is why I reccomend wearing old cloths or wearing an apron ( you can see the one I wear here: th-cam.com/video/GmfJhDxScp8/w-d-xo.html ) I say those clothes are now painting clothes ha ha ha. BUT if you really wanna wash them, I guess I would recommend a laundromat do it.
I don't have linseed oil or liquid clear. However, I followed a Bob Ross black canvas tutorial before that used a layer of plain blue on a dry black canvas as the underlayer, then added white like you did for the sky. Do you think this would work for this painting as well? Perhaps thinning down the red, purple and blue ever so slightly so it acts like liquid white/clear - a liquid blue/purple/red almost?
Bob most likely had the LC on before he started to paint.... you can do it dry BUT it is a lot harder to blend (but it is doable). I say GO FOR IT! This is just a building block painting to work on skills, so this is the perfect time to play around and experiment :)
I have had a few requests for something like this... What kinda of mountain shapes are you interested in? I do show in this video 1 distant mountain and one snow covered mountain. So there is something to hold you over: th-cam.com/video/iaLLJrklgbU/w-d-xo.html
Wow first time I see you paint after watching many tutorials Pretty good! Can't wait to receive all the BOB ROSS matérials I purchased .Since You are a lover of him I can tell !!! , I have a idea for you! Why not starting the year with a series of episode ! tell the viewers at the beginning of the season 3 or 4 months how many videos there will be a name for each episode ... and numbering your videos will be easier for the viewers to write down the # associated with the videos and make sure that they see them all! 2021 is your Year right! Let's get painting! cause sure you will have Great success! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
This is a building block painting to get ya started with the basics - if you want the next step it can be found here ( th-cam.com/video/XKXjNQ3lMUk/w-d-xo.html ) Thanks for the tip - I am gunna do something similar to that with future playlist. Just need to find more free time is all. Happy New Year to you too :)
I had a question about paint thinner. When I'm done painting for the day I put my paint thinner in a glass container and let the paint go to the bottom so next time I use the clear paint thinner that's on the top over again. Just wondering how many times can you keep reusing the thinner before it goes bad? I notice after each time even though the paint sinks to the bottem the paint thinner gets darker and darker. Thanks.
I will make a video on this at some point but the 2 main things to look out for is: - When it starts to smell different (from thinner that is) 0r - It stays cloudy when transferring it to a new container Those are the times to get new thinner
could you do this same scape on a white canvas, but covered in Bob Ross Liquid Black instead to make the canvas black? or would i use Black Gesso, then Liquid Clear?
Yeah you can do it - It wont have the same pop BUT will 100% will work if you wanna try using LB. Below are a few video on how LB will affect the colors as you paint. - Paint Exercise: th-cam.com/video/ngIPscmVWoQ/w-d-xo.html - Liquid Mediums: th-cam.com/video/vU4DhnhwdQ4/w-d-xo.html
@@WildCreates Thank you so much! Your vids really have helped encouraged me to move forward with getting into the hobby. just had a bunch of supplies come in today
@@WildCreates so i just cant manage to accomplish anything you're doing in this video. im not sure if im just using too much liquid clear (used black gesso and let it dry first) or what. but the windsor newton paint just seems so thick and never applies to the brush correctly no matter how gentle i am (there always seems to be too much on the brush. i even use drops of liquid clear to try and loosen things up) i cant layer the colors like youre doing on the hills. or get that proper "bushy" effect no matter how light i am. (im using a bob ross foliage brush. halfsize round) when i put the white on the grass, it just sorta mixes with the green and doesn't make those nice spread out "dots" like you have. i need that white to just sit on top of it cant get those nice even strokes to create the water either. its like everything is too wet and just melds together when blending. even tried a few of your cloud tutorials and my cloud forming improved after i got a bob ross fan brush. but when it came to going over them with the 2inch brush, they all just melted into the blue sky, lost all details, had no shape anymore and just looked like wispy white blobs. im even holding the 2 inch brush with 2 finshers in an attempt to be as light as i can. ive already ruined 2 promising landscapes trying to make clouds.
I plan on doing more in the New Year BUT until then you can find all my ACRYLIC landscape videos in this playlist here: th-cam.com/video/6AV4ZKCD2mU/w-d-xo.html
I really have a hard time cleaning paint brushes after oil painting and I even used your recipe to make liquid white at home but I guess it didn't work for me (used processed linseed oil) It was way too difficult to blend the paint.
When you put on paint on your brush, make sure you wash the brush with paint thinner, turpentine, when your done. I know, it's hard because I also had the same problem. Just clean your brushes after you use them. Hope this helped!
Not sure what processed linseed oil is... Sounds more for wood-working then painting. The LS oil should be a lite-honey color and somewhat thin when you pour it out of the bottle. Make sure to clean your brushes with odorless thinner and then use this product afterwards ( th-cam.com/video/gDaoXPk-nWQ/w-d-xo.html ). This will give you perfectly clean brushes.
Hey Wild!!!! So i just searched the question " what sticks to firm paint when oil painting" and there isn't one video on it that i could find. Could you explaine that to me or make a video?
You wanna such the "thick over thin" or "fat over lean" paint rule. There you will find a bunch of videos on it. Its a very in-depth and technique law of paint - I will see what I can do for ya.
alright, I've been painting w/oils in the wet technique for about 2 months now. And this was the first paint along I've tried. (note: I've watched Bob off an on since he started PBS) And most of the stuff I paint is either a mash up of things I've seen my whole life or a variation of photos I've seen at some point or another. I do pretty well mostly. But I absolutely SUCK at land/depth. I got the skies down well, got water down well. I even do some decent mountains. but trying to do land, layers/depth, I just absolutely miss it. Unless it is a fairly thin line of land with minimal grass/brush/trees, it is just a major f-up. and it did the same thing trying to follow this one 😪 Sky looks fine, water looks fine... Land mass looks like I tried to paint land and f-up! what on EARTH am I doing wrong?!? Edit: sorry, I know this is an old post, but... edit #2: just found your video on layering, will watch for secrets I'm missing [th-cam.com/video/YNhIQSaECeI/w-d-xo.html]
Its most likely you have too much paint already on the canvas from the things you dominate like the sky and water. 1) If you know you are land will rest in a certain spot on the canvas. Make sure to work off and blend in all the extra colors. This will expose more of the raw canvas. Making it easier to shape and build layers. 2) On a spare canvas just practice why you suck at ( don't worry about painting a full pic ) paint like 12 trees in a row. Then 12 bushes... this will burn the basics in and build confidence.
I am going to paint along with you right now! I'm a beginner and I'm 48 years young wanting a new hobby that is relaxing as well as produces something cool! here we go!!!!!!!

Love this! Black canvases are awesome. 🙌🏻
Glad you liked it - Can't wait to show you the next one :)
I’m going to try this.
Let me know how it goes for you
Really like what your doing with your channel! I’ve been painting with the wet on wet for a year now and your videos have helped a lot thanks!
I am glad I can help you out buddy.
Keep those brushes wet 😜
This would make the most amazing background for a creepy old tree or castle 💜
Total Casttlevania Vibes Right there :)
Omg so happy to found you . What a joy !
I am glad that I can help you out on your painting adventure.
Ya bro love it . Once you go black canvas, you don't go back . black canvases matter ..... Too soon. Lol. I like using them for northern lights.
Ha ha ha...
Black canvases are so much fun.
Lmao! Oh this ones the BEST! And NO, NOT to soon! Right on time lol
Been doing acrylic painting but my mother in law got me some oil paints, so I'm definitely going to do this as my first oil paint.
That sounds like an awesome momma 💪
Best advice I can give going from acrylic to oils is go super slow.... Oil can be a nightmare if you treat them like acrylics ha ha ha
Good luck and let me know how it goes 😝
Definitely will need to try a black canvas sometime. I usually spray paint the background or use black chalk paint and it can get messy so this should help a lot! 💖
Black canvases are super fun.
This is a great one to start with because in the next video, I will build upon this painting and teach you how to make a fun little landscape :)
@@WildCreates Looking forward to it! Thanks for all your help Wild 🥰
I got ya and No Prob Bob :)
Thanks for sharing and keep it up!!!
Thanks buddy and I will :)
Soo nice. Thank you
So nice of you

I find 2 inch brush is too big for that size canvas and it is fun to work it with the 1 inch. you help lots...thanks
Use whatever you feel most comfortable with. My videos are always just recommendations... never the rule. Feel free to experiment.
Wild, I will buy a black canvas and paint with you! You are a gifted teacher. I have 11 x 14 canvases, can I paint them black? Just wondering if I can skip going to the craft store.
Yes you can paint it black with gesso or matte black acrylic
Please more tutorial videos! How about some wet-on-wet space-scapes??
I will see what I can do in a future painting video for ya.

I do show in this video 1 distant mountain and one snow covered mountain. So there is something to hold you over: th-cam.com/video/iaLLJrklgbU/w-d-xo.html
Like mountain ridge rocky with distant valleys or I'd love to see how to paint a good " fold" mountain!! As always thank you for responding!

Can I use a white canvas and paint it with black gesso rather than using a pre primed black canvas?
100% you can.
In fact thats what I do most of the time.
Wh- are you stalking me I just painted a canvas black and has no idea on what to paint it!
Also how do you paint a moon landscape??
Ha ha ha perhaps I am :P
I will get to moonscapes once I teach people the basics first.... But it is on the list for future videos :)
@@WildCreates haha okii thank you
Quick question : if I can't find a black canvas, can I just paint a layer of black acrylic as an additional layer of primer?
Yes you can - This video hear should give you a better understanding. Happy Painting.

Oh 100% you could - just work in smaller sections is all
Is the canvas primed with black oil or acrilyc ?

Love this channel. Don't understand what those hills are supposed to be.
Thanks for the love.
They are just misunderstood mossy hill patches hanging out by the water is all 😋
can you do many of your painting with acrylic paint
Yes you can. You just have to do them in sections. Check out my acrylic playlist for more tips and tutorials
Hey Wild!!!! So i just searched the question " what sticks to firm paint when oil painting" and there isn't one video on it that i could find. Could you explaine that to me or make a video?

Yes however doesn't Bob Ross say a thin paint will stick to a good firm paint? That's confusing
It is confusing which is why he tried to keep it simple for us and TV

Is this oils or acrylics thank you
This is oil but you could easily paint this in acrylic too
Do u have a reference photo of this I can have please?
I dont but a little hack you can do is Screen Grab the final result of this painting. That way you have a reference image.
Did he make the black canvas or buy it? Cos the video is for beginners, and starts with a black canvas no explanation. Did I miss something? Thanks
You can do either.
I find it real easy to make your own with black gesso and a sponge brush
First
Thanks for watching buddy
