Great paining, and a fantastic job replicating the Bob Ross style. That said, I was slightly disappointed that you didn't beat the devil out of any of your brushes at all.
I believe in a paint brush's right to contain demonic entities if it so chooses
@@CaryJacobsArt 😍
@@CaryJacobsArt now that's some Bob Ross inspired teachings
@@CaryJacobsArt Happy little Brush Demons ?
That's because he "took out all his hostilities and frustrations" on the microphone. 😄
Love this. I've been thinking about this as I have acrylics sitting in the attic that I got given last year. Didn't know if it would work but this has given me the encouragement to actually give it a go.
Great! Give it a go and who knows where it will lead you!
Awesome. Thanks for the tip. IM brand new and great Bob Ross impersonation. I’m still trying to figure out how the hell to make a Bush look like that instead of a black wall with yellow dots.
Wow. This is amazing. You have inspired me to start painting. I love how you painted those clouds.
Hi, sorry for the late reply but thanks!!
This was informative and fun to watch, well done! *high-fives*
I'm glad I'm not the only one who forgets to take off the seal of tubed stuff
You had me cracking up at the bottle lid and the past future and your face expressions. Thank you for sharing this and bringing a smile to my face
Adding a tiny little bit of water helps keep thing damp too. Or you can lightly mist it with a sprayer to keep things working a little longer too. It's a good technique to know for skies and water, even if overall you don't want to paint exactly like Bob Ross. Thanks for a good video.
Thanks a lot! :D
I have done about 4 or 5 bob ross paintings with acrylic but I also use the 2 inch brushes and palet knife . But what I do is just take water and brush it all over the canvas to make it wet. Then just follow bob ross while he is painting. But mine are a little different I don't do snow very well so I might just do woods and green fields tell I learn how to do snow. LOL. But you dig a good job .
When you have no pallet knife, use an old credit card or business card.
Well done! You gave me a lot of encouragement to try to paint like Bob Ross. Thank you for your recipe as well.
Thanks a million, especially showing how to make the Magic White for acrylic. Nice painting...You´ve, like the BIG BR, inspired me to start again and creating my own world.
Bob Ross's mountain texture technique with the knife (his mentor Bill Alexander and his son Steve were actually much better at it) depended on the knife not touching the canvas, believe it or not. The idea is to get a "little roll of paint on the edge of the knife" and allow the stiff paint on the canvas to pull the thin paint off the knife - that creates all the little bumps and holes as the paint gets dragged off unevenly but requires an insanely delicate touch and the effect is almost impossible to replicate as quickly with a brush. What you can do to get something sort of similar with a fan brush is to load it quite heavily (again with a thinner paint than what's already on the mountain) and just touch it to the canvas then instead of sliding the brush, let it bounce down the mountain. I find when doing it that way it helps if I angle the easel away from me about 45°, but with the knife it's best to keep the easel vertical. Similar technique if you want the cabin to look weathered.
Also, you get more texture in the sky if you use a stiff brush to scrub the 'liquid hwite' into the canvas then scrape off as much as you can with a knife or dab with a paper towel, then load your brush quite deep with your sky colour and apply in all sorts of different directions, pressing hard at the top of the piece and gradually reducing the pressure as you progress toward the horizon. Same pressure variation with water but from the bottom up and using only horizontal instead of randomly directed strokes. You definitely used a lot more liquid hwite than you would have needed if it was oil, but perhaps it would have dried too quickly if you hadn't done it the way you did.
The stippling mist worked really well. I think your liquid hwite wasn't wet enough by the time you got to the water reflections. What I often do when using that technique with oils is sketch the outline of anything that's going to be reflected and do the reflections when it's still wet enough because you don't actually need it to be wet for the mountains and trees so you can do those later, and if you don't want your water to be completely calm you can push some horizontal strokes through your reflections with a clean brush to make the water move.
Unfortunately you didn't have a squirrel in your shirt and your hair isn't big enough so I'm only giving you an 8. 😄
You did a great job! I've become obsessed with Bob Ross since the COVID started and I wondered how to do follow what he does but in acrylic. Thanks for showing us it can be done!
Thanks :) Give it a go! I'm sure you can do a better job than I did!
I love the wHite accent you give. Spot on! I will have to try this.
Love the humor/bloopers! Thanks for the video. I’ve wondered what would work for liquid white
Nice video. Not everyone is set up for oil, so always great to see another way to get nearly the same effects. I even want to switch to water mixable oils to starts getting away from the thinner. While it is odorless, it is still volatile.
bob is one of my biggest inspirations and i only had acrylics because i’m not very rich so this really lightened you my day! can’t wait to try this soon, thanks for the video 😊
Thanks :D
On the face of it, oils seem more expensive but they have greater coverage so it kind of cancels out. I use both for different purposes and I would say on average a finished painting costs only slightly more in oils than in acrylics. Both are much more expensive than water colours but I only use those for florals.
I love your character, you are funny and it makes your video worth watching. I will try your method because I don't know how to work with oil paints and now is the time to try the method. Thank you and I'm a subscriber to your channel.
Beautiful! I was looking for a video like this for a long time! I love Bob Ross‘s paintings but I don’t like oil paint so this is perfect🙌🏼
Thank you :) I'm glad you liked it!
I use %50 White Gesso %30 Retarder Gel %20 Water since the retarder will trap the water and keep it moist.
Thank you for sharing this.
I love bob ross but only have acrylic paint right now. I would love to send you a pic or vid of my first attempt at painting. Cheers.
Sounds great! Ive been a bit of a ghost on my social media accounts for a little while but CaryJacobsArt on facebook is probably your best option, or you can e-mail me at caryjacobsart@hotmail.com.
I like your idea of trying to use acrylics to get the oil effects, keep trying and you might want to watch more of Bob’s videos to do some blending in your water and clouds. His bigger brushes are great for that and the foreground bushes. Try them you will like it! Happy painting…..
You did a great job! Thank you for sharing
Funny, I’m a horrible artist, because I’ve never watched a full video. My husband used to and then was murdered right as he started his journey, but I can’t watch bob ross. Ptsd is real. Don’t worry I have my happy trees down😂 thank you for this video 🙏🏻 I’m actually a good artist, I just can’t watch bob, rip. So I watch people like you 😊
After talking with various people and looking at ALL of the acrylic and oil mediums at my local art shop, I bought retarder and white gesso today. So glad I did.
I love the oil techniques, but I also love the acrylics for the bright colors and easy cleanup! The only difference in my method compared to this video is that I will be adding the retarder to my paint as well.
Sounds good! I hope it goes well :) and if not, of course, it's just a happy little accident
Love this idea. I have Bob Ross white for oils and it is just too slick for me! I like this idea for acrylics and I'm going to try it because I have been wanting to get back to using acrylics as I don't like the smell and cleanup of oil paints!!! Thanks for the fun video Cary!!!
Thank you! It was fun making it. I avoid oils for the same reasons, haha!
If you decide to use the liquid white with oil painting just use less. Like a quarter sized puddle will cover a 12x16 canvas. If your press your finger on the canvas you should be able to see your fingerprint on your finger. That is the perfect amount. If your fingerprints are not visible just wipe some of the liquid white using a shop towel. Hope this helps!!

This is great but it gives me an idea now that Golden has come out with Open medium-which I recently purchased and blend a little with my paints to slow them down. I think coating the canvas with the Open Medium and Gesso might have a longer drying time for blending. Thanks for this!
You still have to beat the brushes and remember trees are your friends.
The clouds came out awesome.
Great video.
Keep going mate. Don't give up like so many artists do. Subscribed.
Thanks :) I will!
Woah that's just awesome!
I hope you keep up with this type of painting because I'm trying to improve my talents at acrylic painting !
You deserve the subscribe😄😄
Thanks! I definitely will keep trying to improve :) Im looking forward to seeing your future uploads!
You are using Atelier interactive paints. They are resettable with water and after a day they are re-openable with their special re-open medium. No need for anything else.
Wel yes... There is that.. haha!
Great job. Very inspiring. I'm going to try this.remember, however, Bob used his 2 inch brush to make happy little clouds.
Thanks! Oh if only I owned a two inch brush... One can dream atleast!
Wait... Just remembered I do own a 2inch brush!! Happy days :)
It would have been nice if you told us which colors you used for the rocks etc but nice painting
how about spraying a mist of water on the canvas halfway through the painting? That might help with the drying out
Yes, that could work, definitely worth a try!
Your voice is so soothing. Don't know if you meant to imitate Bob but it's lovely.
Thank you! I would never try to imitate the man himself but glad you enjoyed my dulcet Kentish tones!😁
I love this!
Thanks!
Thank you for this video. I'm going to be give it a try. I love your paint pallet.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)
I had the question, how to paint like Bob Ross, but with acrylics. I do believe, sir, that you have answered my question. Keep up the good work! :)
That was fucking beautiful, love the good vibes and positive energy you put into the painting and the video. You are a lovely human and you give me hope that mankind is good, just like bob was. Thank you for brightening my day UwU
Thank you so much! You have just brightened my day aswell!
I'm noticing a theme where artists don't clean their palettes.
Also palette knives are a few bucks off of Amazon, no excuse.
Appreciate the video. Something else about Bob Ross' painting technique: the paint he used was darn near to pigmented caulk in consistency. I noticed years ago that the Bob Ross paint set my sister had was a good deal softer in consistency than what he appeared to use on the show. A friend of mine (a far superior artist than I will ever be) suspected that Bob either mulled his own paint, or he left it on brown paper bag to wick away excess oil.
Thanks! That's quite interesting, maybe that's something I could test in a future video!
You're right. Ross paints are not the quality they used to be. Winton and Alexander make very good paints that are suitable for this technique.
Beautiful painting, I'm going to try this.tnx
Thanks! I hope it goes well!
Amazing. Thankyou for posting this 👌
Thank you!
Your clouds are wonderful! Thanks for showing us what happens! Supposedly we can do the skies much faster with the $25.00 Bob Ross 2 inch hardware store brush lol
Thank you! Haha, yes Bob was certainly a businessman as well as an artist!
I just received a shipment of Bob Ross Liquid Acrylic White from Amazon. I am using your video in doing my wet-on-wet acrylic painting.
Sounds good! Fingers crossed it goes well!!!
I know this video is old.. but maybe you'll answer. Do you use slow-drying acrylics also??? And I guess at one point you said it was drying out ?.. during water part??? Thanks !
Very nice! Now I will try it!
Thanks! I hope it goes well!
Great job! This is an amazing painting; I feel like you weren't even trying haha
Thank you so much 😀
Do you know how long the canvas stays wet for with this mixture?
I would say it was about half an hour, so probably best to work in smaller areas rather than cover the whole canvas like I did. It was definitely no working so well by the time I got to the end of the painting :)
Cary Jacobs Art thank you for this I shall take it into account when doing my own
@@Will-zo2qm You can also let it dry and then come back and rework on a particular section. Overnight should be pretty good. With oils, you'd need to wait a week (I have three oils drying in my hot car right now that I have to wait to work on).
Hi Cary. Like the vid and your Master Bob attempt! Subscribed. You're a funny guy! I tried using gesso and fluid retarder an a 65/35 mix respectively but it didn't work out as I thought it would. Maybe my kitchen is too hot to paint in! Anyway, good effort and keep up the good work!
Hey, Thanks! Its definitely not a direct equivalent of Bob's liquid white but I still found it a fun thing to play around with. Glad you enjoyed the video anyway :)
I've the shame problem and you gave me the solution, thank you dude.
Thanks! Glad I could help :)
@@CaryJacobsArt only two questions, do I have to chose a special kind of retarder or not? And how much do I have to add in the gesso, what's the analogy? I've never used it before.
@@oldschool1107 Any retarder should do the job the aim is the slow the drying time of the gesso so it stays on the canvas as a slick base layer, I aimed for a mix of about 90% gesso and 10% retarder and it seemed to work well :)
Okay, so this video was made over a year ago, so were there any after effects on this painting.. like did the colors fade away or run? Also, what was the drying time for the paint after you applied it on the canvas? Good video, man. I enjoyed it very much.
Ah, I actually painted over it a while ago! Haha, I'm afraid I've never been one to get sentimental about my paintings! I think it would have lasted fine though. In terms of drying times with this technique, it only extends the drying time by maybe half an hour or so. Not a lot but enough to do things you normally wouldn't be able to with acrylic paints :)
This dude had me laughing throughout hahaha
You have a double. His name is Paul Marburger. He use to be my roommate years ago. You could pass as doubles. Expressions and all. He was adopted as a small child. Just thought I should mention it to you. What's the chances??? I think you may be a little smarter then he was. He did weird stuff all the time. I won't even go any further. lol Thanks for the upload. It's March 6,2020 now. Bye.
Haha, wow what a lucky guy!!!! ;)
I think you did a awesome job! What is the name of the bottle with the clear liquid you used with the white paint on the canvas? i can not make out the name of it...that helps keep the moisture on the canvas for blending better???
I think it’s a retarder (from Latin “Retardare” v. To slow something down, kind of like fire retardant clothing) hope this helps!!!
Hi, not sure how I missed this question, sorry about that but Richard is right! Specifically I used Atelier retarder but there are loads of different mediums out there for acrylic paints that slow the drying time so any one should do the same job :)
I really like this guy a lot. I loved his sense of humor right off. The only thing that made it hard for me to watch was I couldn't understand his English very well. If this is just the way he talks, then I guess it is what it is. But, If I could hear what he was saying better, I would really enjoy his videos more. With this said, I subscribed anyways because I like the way he paints and he makes me laugh:)
Late to the party. One question. How do you clean the ghetto white from your brush? Soap and water or something else?
Hi! Yup, just water. Treat it the same as normal acrylic paint 👌
Thank you!!@@CaryJacobsArt
@twohandsandaradio
I've found using cheap hand sanitizer works very well for cleaning brushes, even when the paint has dried in, just leave them in for 20 minutes or so and then wash in warm water and soap and you should have workable brushes again. You can even use a dab of hair conditioner after washing to make the bristles softer. Hope that's of use 😊
THANKYOU SO MUCH I FOUND EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR
No problem :)
You did fine with the sky but the mountains need a bit of work as they are the most eye catching part of my paintings and can make or break the painting.
Yup! I definitely struggled with the mountains on this one. I was trying to emulate that classic Bob Ross palette knife technique but it didnt really work :p Was a fun piece to play around with though!
@@CaryJacobsArt yep I know what you mean because I tried it with a palette knife and acrylics and couldn't get it to work either. I ended up just taking a brush putting in the base like you did let it and letting it dry and then coming back with whatever color I wanted to highlight the mountains with and using a small brush and I just did them in that way. Of course with acrylics and they're being translucent you may have to layer it in a little bit towards the top of the mountain to get it to really shine with the highlight which has to be the snow most times. It took me a little playing with it but I got it down pretty good it looks very much like his mountains. Of course it takes a little longer than it took him but when I'm finished you can't hardly tell the difference in the quality.
This was lovely! I am inspired to try this. Was wondering where you got your equipment ! I don’t have any yet :(
There is actually a Bob Ross liquid white for acrylic available. Also I found this recipe for liquid white
50% golden open slow drying
30% retarder
10% gloss
10% open thinner
Or
1cup
1/3 cup
1.6 tablespoons
1.6 tablespoon
Nice job.. how about that!!!
Thanks!
how long does it extend the drying time for?
Very good painting! Also what paint brushes and paint are you using. thank you! (Sorry if I’m annoying)
Thanks!!! I'm using Atelier interactive paints and Atelier retarder, although I have no idea what brushes I'm using I'm afraid! I've never worried too much about brands of brushes as it comes so much down to personal preference, so I just have a random assortment and just grab the ones I like the feel of :p
And don't worry, you aren't annoying, haha
Thanks! You got a new sub!
Cheers!
Wooow
At least he is coming almost near to what i would call a result...so many fakes out there 😴
Bob Ross Used Oil Paint or Acrylic Paint?
Bob Ross used oil paints. The problem with oils though is they need nasty chemicals to clean and dilute them, and can take weeks to dry fully, plus they are a little more expensive :)
@@CaryJacobsArt plus I have artist friend who died from oil painting.
Never use oil paint inside your house, the fumes will contaminate your living area and poison your family and pets.
Im new to your channel and have subscribed
Do you only use the Ghetto liquid white for the bass or do you mix it for evey part of the painting like the sky then the mountains
Hi, the liquid white should be the first thing you put on the canvas and is supposed to be like a base layer that you then put all the paint on top of :)
Thank you!
1000 dollars!
Haha, thanks!
Does the person who’s typing the conversation speak English… Or just English?
Why all the muggy faces?
What is up with them teeny little brushes? You need to get the big old Mighty brush 3 inch 2 1/2 inch got to get things done quick so your mixture that you put on for your white gesso doesn't dry and you also want to put in your water at the same time as your Sky then do your mountains and really doing a mountain with a brush just not proficient enough you could have used that putty knife that would have worked kind of sort of but a lot better than them dinky little brushes please take this with a great assault I am not trying to bash you I'm just giving you some hard constructive criticism
Thanks! That all sounds like good advise to me 🙂 Bigger would definitely be better in this case!
Maybe try your own thing instead of trying to be bob jr... from the catch phrases to the "now he would do this"
how to paint like Bob Ross come on man that looks like crap number one use the proper brushes number to use the proper medium don't try to reinvent the wheel
The guy tries his best goes through the trouble of putting a video up there in case somebody wants to try it and you come along with insults and ignorant comments maybe you should start your own channel and call it healing my insecurities by bashing other people while cowardly hiding behind my computer……Dick!!!
*gesso* not *ghetto* (￣ー￣)
I’m not sure. In this case ghetto means very diy or not professional I think. I think he meant a play on words to make it seem that way.
Well done, Mate. But the question remains, who actually wants to paint like Bob Ross ? In any medium ?
👎👎👎👎Nooo .fuu
