"It's so relaxing to listen to you but so stressful to keep up with you." 😅
Lol... truth!!
@@BentleyHouseMinis Absolutely true. LOL Thanks for cheering me up with your quick wit! The results of your first try were not bad. It has inspired me to give it a try in miniature. I mostly do 1:144 scale, so that will require an eyelash as a paintbrush? LOL
I loved this episode so much ......the painting is adorable
Now you know how I feel when trying to follow you! Great painting.
I'm all over that easy cutter. It looks so much quicker than my gosh darned miter box.
Oh yes my friend... a purchase you will never regret!!!
haha - me too. I have been eyeing one of those for quite a while. I saw Joanne's minis using them and wanted one. They are kinda expensive for me atm, but def on my must have list. They sell them at the Menards where I live. I got the miter box and saw because of you and Square to Spare, but I think this is much easier. AND it cuts wood up to 1/2" thick - I think!
The nice thing about these easy cutters is that they can be taken apart and sharpened like a pair of scissors. (Make sure when you get ready to purchase one to check that it has a bolt that you can loosen to remove the blade). This is a fantastic feature because you don't have to re-buy it when it gets dull... just get it sharpened! ;)
I'm totally impressed!
You did a great job, Ara, it looks really good. Bob would be proud😊👍
Aww thanks that means a lot!!❤
Bob Ross was amazing. I’ve never seen anyone be able to keep up with him nor painting turn out quite like his. Very, very difficult. You did great though!!
Even without the correct brushes, you did great, Ara. Could be worth pre-watching your next one in order to get a supplies list, as stippling/stenciling brushes & wide flat brushes would be ideal for this piece.
Yes it would make for less pausing for sure! However this is kind of how it would have been back when the TV show aired lol. If you wanted to follow along you just had to hope you had the right stuff... and no pausing! ;)
That never even crossed my mind that pausing wasn't an option back then. Gosh, what a horrible thought. Far from relaxed learning! LOL. I used to watch The Art Sherpa's live streams & there was a few people there who made a point of painting along while Cinnamon was teaching the lesson (like the more advanced painters do). Sadly they were not skilled enough to paint along, as they were beginners like me & could have learned so much by observing her first. Instead they spent the whole time, asking for things to be repeated because they weren't watching or listening. My favourite bit was them wanting a traceable (traced line drawing of the finished project) BEFORE the lesson began, but not seeing any irony in that. LOL.
You did fabulous 🤩
That was a lot of fun! Thanks
That was fun to watch and I think you did pretty awesome, all things considered. I'd probably use pause a lot more often than you did. LOL
Well I probably edited out a few more pauses that you guys didn't see lol. Finding the colors took me a long time because the names were all different. Thank you!
This was so fun to watch!!! This is how we all feel when we try to follow UA-camrs!! TFS!!! Beautiful!! 🙌Excellent tutorial!!🙌⛄XO🌲XO🎅XO🎄XO🎁XO❄
Lol thank you Lala! Thank goodness for the invention of "pause"!!
LOL!!! ⛄XO🌲XO🎅XO🎄XO🎁XO❄
This was the cutest idea!!! Loved it!!
Aww thanks😊
You did an excellent job.
Very funny and fantastic results!! :)
Thank you😄
LMAO
"How did that tree get to the top of his canvas!? When did this happen?"
I laughed so hard because I have said similar words. "Where did that lake come from!?"
IDK. Struck me funny.
Also here because of your Jazza episode.
Haha so glad you enjoyed the vid! And welcome!
It turned out do good !!!
Thank you so much Wendy!
Your painting came out wonderfully! I need that easy cutter as everytime I try to cut them by hand, they never fit properly and it's quite frustrating. I had so much fun watching you do this one! Informative and hilarious!
Aww thanks so much!! Yes the easy cutter tool is a life saver when working with wood!💖
I love this so much! I loved seeing it go from weird blobs to something not just recognisable, but enjoyable to look at.
The frame was *such* a nice touch.
When it's fully dry, did you add something to mimic glass over the top?
Regardless, thank you for sharing this swell piece with us!
Oh, and making your own brushes may be beneficial. There's all sorts of tutorials online (the ones youtuber Uri Tuchman did seem the most sturdy, which is something crucial in miniatures, as i'm sure you know.
(He did his full-size)
You could always use it as a prop, as well as a useable tool
Thank you so much! For now it is still without a covering but that's definitely a possibility for the future. And great idea about the handmade brushes 👍 I will have to look that up!
This was fun! 😊
Thank you so much!!
Aww this was amazingggg! I saw u on Jazza’s page and now I’m in love with your material... why didn’t I find u before 🥰
Thanks for coming over to my channel! Welcome!!😃
One thing you forgot... you didn't sign it! Bright red paint thinned down. You could have done a little squiggle in the corner. I loved this.
I will have to next time ;) Thank you!
Haha
😁
Your painting turned out pretty darn good. I did have a good laugh at your comments. I would have been saying the same thing...lol...loved the whole process and your wonderful fun personality makes it all that much better. Have a great day.
Thanks so much! He's so personable you just think you can talk with him through the screen ;) So glad you enjoyed it!
@whitelinewidow
LOL I could not have said it better! LOL I was thinking the same as you as I watched the video and then I start to read the comments and yours is the first one listed. :)
Your picture turned out good. But I have to admit that I have not laughed that much in a long time! Slow down Bob! My tree is not that happy!!! Thanks for the fun!
Thank you Roberta! I am so glad it was entertaining 💕
Love it! Had a good laugh watching this. I love your voice and personality and how you do your thing.
Oh, and came in from Jazza. ^^
Wow thank you so much for the kind words💖 Welcome to the channel!
at least im not the only one who came from jazza
I love the end result but I think my favourite parts of the video is when you made scrunchy confused fun faces when things weren't going as planned right away. Hahha so real I love it.
😄😄 That's part of following a Bob Ross tutorial... the scrunchy confused face!
Bob Ross painting tutorials are sometimes very stressful for something that's supposed to be relaxing 😅
Soooooo true lol!😄
This is the funniest AND cutest "follow a Bob Ross Tutorial" video I've ever seen!
And your painting turned out really good!
Lol! Aww thanks!😊
Dear Ara, this was such a lovely painting. Congratulations 🎊🎉🎈🍾!
Thank you Mariza!! I appreciate that!
Ok you got me on this one😁 even tho it was 3 yrs ago..Bob Ross never gets old! I am going to try this...just got a cheap lil oil set..always wanted to try oil painting..what better way than with The Ross Man! This was comical..loved it..I would be doing the same thing, he is too fast for me..its funny because he speaks so calm and slow..but yet paints so fast..that's like pating your head and rubbing your belly at the same time 🤣 ..I love how your painting turned out 💖 especially for a miniature..love the scene. I'll have ta pick one to do.. He has a supernatural way of glueing you stuck with his majestic and mesmerizing happy lil friends..we don't care let's put him right here..😆 ..not a care in the world when we're painting with The Bob🥴
I researched these paints, and with drying times, I do not see the point of buying this and not Acrylics.
I see your point Connie! For a painting that you're going to complete in 30 mins, it's probably not necessary to use oil paint. They are the best for when you plan to work on a painting over several days and still be able to blend and move around the paint. Thanks for commenting!
You do come up with some super fun ideas! This is as good as the miniatures on the fingernails. :-)
Haha Thank you Catherine! It was fun to at least try to follow him!
Ohh i love Bob Ross my inlaws had the pleasure of meeting him years ago...lol this was fun to watch!!...🎄🎅🎅🎄 Have a great day!!
Oh wow I am so jealous! What a cool experience to meet him! Thank you💕
PLEASE tell me about that cutter! Must.Have.Fancy.Schmancy.Cutter!!! ❤❤❤ (oh, and fantastic job on the mini painting. 😉)
If you can't find one, Julie Warren (the YT miniaturist) sells cutters in her Etsy Shop.
I think I have seen them at miniatures.com. My local shop also used to carry them before the owner passed on. If you search easy cutter online, it should turn up.
Thank you!! Yes all the places these kind people have mentioned should have it... and I have also seen them at Hobby Lobby if you have one near by :) It's a must-have tool for me!
Amazon.com my lovelies 😽
Beautiful job as usual. Did you read The Miniaturist or watch the series on PBS? If so, what did you think of it? It's one of my favorite books.
No but I really really really want to! Maybe after the New Year I can pick it up. Thank you!!!
It was interesting watching you following along with Bob Ross and your painting turned out amazing. I'm going to have to do the same when it comes to decorating my (eventual) Barbie doll house as my ability to art is negligible, but seeing you do this shows that I could probably turn out something that might resemble something reasonable.
You can definitely do it Annette! And I think Bob's style translates to mini really well too because you can make an entire forest of trees with just a few dabs of the paintbrush ;) Thanks for your kind words!
@@BentleyHouseMinis I will definitely be giving it a try - once I get my crafting space sorted out as right now it's a hot mess thanks to moving house, unpacking and trying to find places for everting (and failing), plus work and study. So it's going to be a wee while but I am definitely going to do this.
He sure made it look easy. I've tried it and wasn't successful so I'm impressed how well your painting turned out! Actually, working at smaller scale with water soluble oils might be a good way to try this.
Good for you. Using the mini palette and the little brushes was very impressive. So
much of what he does is accomplished
with the size of his brush. So the fact yours
looks like his is splendid. 👍🏻
Very nice!!You did a great job.I hope you make a frame for it
What a great idea! And it turned out very good. Definitely "framable" :-)
Thank you so much Rob!
this one is so funny to watch after iv seen some of your other vids were it looks like you got everything worked out and see your struggles to keep up for reason makes me laugh STOP STOP STOP wait minute bob lol
I love Bob Ross. Watching him, This Old House, The New Yankee Workshop” and of course Justin Wilson on LPB. As a little girl. ❤️
oh yes ...I watched hours and hours of This Old House.... I feel like I should be more handy than I actually am lol.
Bentley House Minis I know a few things. Only cause my dad is a plumber. You’re awesome!
I definitely got a good giggle from this video and your painting turned out pretty good.
I am so glad it was a fun video to watch! Thank you :)
This was fun. ❤ I think it’s a beautiful painting. ❤
I give you credit for trying to keep up with Bob Ross as he painted. I don't think I could have done it.
It’s 2024 and I love your painting and Bob Ross 💕
Wow!!! That was fun to watch and I’m amazed at the results 😳 Fantastic!!
I have been sent by Jazza, nice hair
Thank you and welcome :)
you were funny! think it went well!
lol thank you :)
You get an A+ for effort. Watching you made me want to try doing a BRoss painting. I did one before - a life sized one on a real canvas with real oil paints a long long time ago. I gave it to my uncle who has it hanging on a wall in his house. Never thought to do it in miniature. I like oils, but as you noticed - they take a LONG LONG time to dry. That's why the master's used them - they could work on a painting for weeks or months without being afraid that they would be dry. I'd never used oils before and didn't know that about them either - I'd only worked with acrylics really. So I did a couple of canvases and put them on the back porch where we stored all our winter coats thinking it would be dry within a few hours. Well, like a week or two later, we needed to rearrange some stuff so someone leaned the canvases against the coats - I thought nothing of it since I thought they were dry already - when we moved the canvases - oil paint was all over the sleeves of the coats! And it took weeks longer still to completely dry so I put the oils away until I could have a reasonably safe place to store and dry finished paintings. I looked online after that and that's how I learned about that. Never used water soluble oils even though I think I have a small pack of Reeves in my stash somewhere. Suggestion: I think you half right - you used the right brush, but you needed at least two. That one thin edge could not do some of the strokes. You need that thin brush for the fine lines and details and a slightly thicker/blunter brush for smooth blending and pouncing strokes. You also could have mixed bigger batches of color and loaded your brush with more paint because the colors seem very translucent and blended together compared to the tutorial. The effect is STILL really great though - I think you captured the essence of a winter cabin very nicely. It's a bit more abstract, but lovely to see all the same and I think it would look lovely in a miniature gallery or library! PS - don't forget to sign your painting!! :D Well done. And I may get out my oils (or acrylics) and do one too. If I do I will add a link to this video as my inspiration!
Thank you! Did you ever get the paint off of the coats?? What a way to learn about oil paint drying times! I agree that the colors did seem transluscent and def not as bright as Bob's colors. I was also hampered by the lack of room on my palette. That was just for fun and I will never do that again lol. I think if I had more room to pull up paint that would have helped too. Thanks for checking out my video!
How come I didn’t watch this before? I’ve been following you for more than a year and this video pop up now?, so I have to watch it, and I love your intro. I think you forgot to paint your canvas white or something because you supposed to have the canvas with fresh white so the colours you are applying will mix on the canvas . It must it been very difficult to paint that as a miniature. I am very impressed with your painting
You are so right... Bob always says to start with liquid white ;) I am so glad you enjoyed the video!
He was my favorite in the 90’s😘♥️♥️♥️
it turned out pretty good i would say you should do some of paintings small like this for your mini houses
I always thought it went pretty fast. Cripes! This was so funny.
Great job! I do need to try that out.
Thank you :) It was really fun!!
Btw, I laughed from start to finish. You are v entertaining :)
I am so glad you enjoyed it!😁
I was rolling off my chair as I was watching you paint listening to follow Bob Ross. It was a fun video. Love you for all the tutorials. Also a quick question - What is matboard? (I mean thickness pls from your previous tutorial) I live in India and maybe they are called something else. Thanks. Lots of love.
Thank you so much for your kind words!! Matboard is the material that they use in frames when they are framing artwork. They usually cut it to fit around the artwork inside the frame. If you have a framing shop or art shop around you they may have some. I hope that helps!!
I have the same shirt
It's a good one ;)
Ah I love it! Bob Ross's technique is so different from how most of us are taught to paint, even in oils.
So true... my oil painting classes did not prep me for this! ;)
Omg this is so entertaining! 🤣
Hi Ara I'm a painter and I love painting in miniature and doing dollhouse paintings I haven't done a Bob Ross one but now I'm excited to give that a go ! I think you did an amazing job I love your little painting. Thank-you so much for this video. 👍😀
Awesome! I would love to see what you do. I like to paint but don't do it that often... I'd love to see what an actual painter can do with a project like this!
You are SO funny! You crack me up! Using such a tiny little palette and tiny little brushes you did an AMAZING job!
haha thanks! I am so glad you enjoyed it! I was surprised I ended up using that palette all the way through lol!
ing You are sooo funny!! thanks for the laughs.... your painting turned out well. I watched someone else do a Bob Ross painting.. he said.. you need Bob Ross paint and such to make it work LOL
thank you so much!! lol Bob Ross paint is just oil paint with his face on it so that's an interesting statement ;) I wish there was magic Bob Ross paint!
I thought your picture turned out pretty good👏Trying to keep up with Bob was a bit of a workout for you, and pretty funny I wouldn't have been able to keep up with him!! Good job!
Thank you Susan! It was a workout!
Lol don’t take your eyes off the painter
I just found out your channel and I live for it! I loved miniatures as a baby but obviously I was not that careful and I lost alot cute ones. Love your Bob figure.
Thank you Kristine and welcome to the channel!💖
Came to your channel from Jazza’s channel. You’re AMAZING! I love Bob! If you check out the art on my channel that I’ve done, you’ll see many Bob Ross rip-offs. I am sensitive to smell too. I use odorless mineral spirits to thin my oil paint. It still has a smell but it’s very little. I put it in a small bottle with a dropper to minimize the smell. Hope this helps!
Edit: I use markers designed to cover scratches on furniture to stain my wood or some watered down acrylic paint.
Wow you have some really cool sculptures too! Thanks for sharing with me😊 Thanks for the tip on the odorless spirits. I don't think they had that when I tool oil painting in college or I would have gone for it! Thanks for checking out my channel!💖
Bentley House Minis thanks! I’ve just started back sculpting. I found that the odorless mineral spirits at Hobby Lobby are far more expensive than the hardware store but no different!
Cool miniaturception! (Miniature inception i don't know how much people have seen this movie actualy?)
Haha - I get your reference! :) Thank you!
You & your "happy (very) little painting" are adorable. A very credible little rendering. Brava!
Thank you so much!! 💕💕
Wow you done great it’s lovely
Sorry, only found your site today! That was good! I would have paused the tutorial a lot more than you did, so well done! Your painting came out darn good!
Thank you so much Kerry and welcome to the channel! I am glad you found it!
Lol I just started painting with bob, and in 1:12 a week ago
Really lol!! Great minds think alike!
Bentley House Minis true 👍🏻👍🏻
LOVE THIS SO MUCH!
You are so cute ☺️☺️ the painting came out great as well, bob was my role model when I was kid
Thank you Aleean! He's a great one!
I looooove it. What a great job
Nice job! 👍🏼🎨❤️
Ok here's another project I have to find the time for. Lol
It was fun!! You should definitely try it out ;)
Whoa. I'm here cuz you jacked Jazza's channel but dang. I am Impressed!!! Usually the hardest part of following a Bob Ross Tutorial is keeping up and you managed to do that IN MINIATURE. FANTASTIC JOB
Thank you for checking out my channel and your kind words! I did pause it a few times I remember... I can't imagine anyone being able to follow back when it was on PBS and there was no pause in sight lol!
@@BentleyHouseMinis I hear a lot of stories of people who recorded it on VHS so that way they could pause Bob just to keep up. Haha It's not uncommon to pause Bob during his tutorial just to catch up. I've seen plenty of them in regular size who pause no less than 10 times because they're trying to follow along and just can't. Still. You did a fantastic job and the kind words are free. Keep up the good work
That was a lot fun, thanks. That was also the first Bob Ross video I've seen, so thanks for that too :)
Thank you Annejuli! Welcome to the Bob Ross obsession lol... he is a magician!
That's really great
That was pretty good. You even managed to use the Barbie palette the whole time.
haha thanks! I wasn't sure I was going to be able too!
😍😍😍 I wish I could hit a million likes! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks Nabil!!!
Good job!!!!!
i already thought there was a ton of effort put into it but then you added a tiny frame and it got better :)
Thank you!😊
Love it
Something sharp sticking up out of the bed.?
Interesting idea Gail! Thanks ;)
👍😀 wow
Great!
Fast
I love how it turned out! Doing a mini painting is a super cool concept
Thank you so much!
You could try it yourself! It's how I got into painting, myself. Michael's was having a big sale - got some 2"x2" canvas board, an artist loft box of itty bitty tubes, and some decent looking brushes. I believe I spent under US$10, and now I have far more painting supplies, in different brands, and the most important thing for me is to learn, grow, and have fun.
I highly recommend experimenting with no expectations.
Regardless, you should give it a shot.
Thank you for making and sharing this!!!
Omg this one made me laugh!! Haha iv watched it before but i am currently re-watching your videos again!
Thanks for watching! I need to try this again someday! It was a fun challenge!!😄
@@BentleyHouseMinis i am definitely going to give this one a go, i love how yours turned out too!!
Fun video and excellent results
Thanks!
HAHAHA ! J'ADORE !
So wow!!! I laughed through the whole thing and completely stopped what I was doing to watch and then when you finished I actually really took a look at your painting...WOW!!! It’s beautiful!! You did an amazing job!! Love it so much!! And the frame made it really look very nice! I’m amazed with your talent. As usual!! Thank you so much for the needed laugh break! 💙💙💙 Hugs!
I am so glad you enjoyed it Leslie!! It was a journey but I enjoyed it too. I may have to do it again :) Hugs!
🤣🤣 I am five minutes in and had to stop to come comment...🤣🤣 “Wait what? He’s going too fast for me.” And that says soooo much because you are painting in 1/12 scale!!!!!! 🤣🤣 ok. I’m going to finish. No worries I’ll be back for another comment.
Lol!! Yes he goes fast... I can only imagine the people back when the program was actually on TV AND THERE WAS NO PAUSE! Did anyone ever make it through a painting??? lol
LOVE IT!!!!
Thank you!
I love you little painting. It looks amazing I can see the little painting in a doll house cabin or a regular doll house
Thank you so much! Yes I need to find it a little home :)
Bentley House Minis you’re welcome
