    I am an oil painter that is just starting to learn watercolour and I think you did a great job of trying to mimic the strength of oil paint. Maybe instead of trying to mimic oil, try reproducing the scene the way you would normally use watercolour if painting this scene from scratch and then compare the result? I can tell you that I am really struggling to learn watercolour and I think it is because as you mentioned several times watercolour is a different way of thinking then oil, a different approach...thanks for sharing

    First of all I thought you were brave to attempt this knowing it was going to be hard. But you got great detailed effects. I think it turned out amazing! Great job. I dont usually comment, but I watch all your videos. I'm new at watercolor and loving it. Your videos are very easy to follow with great I instructions. I greatly admire you.

    Emma that was lots of fun. You did a great job. Watercolor is so different and you can create your own version and there are only HAPPY ACCIDENTS! You've inspired those who do watercolor painting especially regarding the reflections (my opinion). Go girl!!!

      Deborah Vick White watercolor can add a soft white “glow”. Ditto for does not work for adding crisp details. I use a combination of white ink & gel pens - which seeing as the gel pen is water soluble i scribble onto a surface and pick up w/water & paintbrush also hells for if you need the highlight but need to “melt” (w/water) so of the edges

    I have often wondered what it would be like to try and mimic Bob Ross in Watercolor and I think you did it! Exact? No.... but each artist is an individual also, and I think you definitely nailed the concept, look, and feel of Bob Ross’ painting.

    I agree So Very much. Bob Ross, will Always be my favorite "current day oil artist" (I never missed a show as a kid and into teens)... your water color piece is a Gorgeous rendition of his oil. It's almost a "Salute" ... they're both warm.. but, it's like someone using a filter lense for a varied effect of one landscape. Gorgeous!

  • @CamilliasCreativeCorner
    @CamilliasCreativeCorner 4 роки тому

    Nailed it! The blue wash of shadow you put on the water at the end is what pulled it all together. It was amazing to watch how it just pushed the pine trees to the background and pulled your greener abstract trees and the rocks to the foreground, and made the water ... watery-er. This is a great idea! Next time i have a free hour I'm going to try one! I this video pulled me out of a painting rut. Thank you very much for all your videos. Really enjoying the variety of subjects these days :)

    I love your vulnerability to do this and how you manage that with effort, problem-solving and humor! And btw... I've been such a big Bob Ross fan that I have a Bob Ross toaster (burns his image into the toast), a Bob Ross pez dispenser and many other collectables. Lol. What a wonderful teaching experience for you and learning experience for your subscribers because these truly are such different mediums! One of my fave vids by far! (I've painted with oils to his videos before, dabbled with acrylics and now because of you trying my hand at watercolors... "Jack of all trades, master at none" seems to be my compass. Keep up with this. Thank you!

  • @dolores5owen
    @dolores5owen 4 роки тому

    I am an oil painter and I struggle with using watercolor. I learned by watching your video that you can mimic an oil painting using watercolor. I learned how you use the brush to paint with watercolors and the difference between the two. I think your painting came out great and I am anxious to try watercolor again!

  • @lizzy9975
    @lizzy9975 4 роки тому +13

    OMG! I haven't even clicked start on the video! Absolutely awesome idea!
    Edit: I've just viewed the Bob Ross tutorial for this and your finished painting! Stop dissing yourself! This is amazing! Watercolour is soooooo much harder than acrylic or oil! You have truly turned a corner with your painting doing this!
    As for the copyright, if I've researched correctly Bob Ross wanted to bring art and painting to the masses! In addition he made very little money frtom his actual TV series. Not to mention, I've seen soooo many youtube videos of people replicating Bob Ross videos onto canvas or their bedroom walls that it isn't funny. Those videos are still on UA-cam! Bob would say..... "It's a happy accident!"

    @lettiehoots7625 4 роки тому

    I think your first try at a Bob Ross painting using water colors is very good, please don't discard it, frame it and enjoy! As a certified Ross instructor, oils have always been my passion. Watercolors are beautiful and I have been trying to learn by watching you, by the way just like Bob with his oils you make watercolors look so easy. I enjoy watching your video's, keep them coming. I love watercolor flowers and am trying to learn so that I can use them on greeting cards, your flower painting's would make beautiful cards. Thank you for sharing this video, it inspires me very much!

  • @Jarrych83

    I've been learning a bit recently because my 8 year old was gifted some kuretaki gansai paints. Unrelated, we just watched this Bob Ross episode, so the mix of looking up gansai painting basics and Bob Ross apparently got me here. I did see someone else use minimal water and heavy pigment to get more of the stippled tree effect and also mixed some color into straight white watercolor to add those highlights and snow and things. But it looked like they worked it using numerous light layers and letting them all dry. But I think you're 100% right about using wet on wet for the reflections due to the increased dispersion and softening. Fun to see and your final painting came out pretty solid overall. Especially for a first attempt at something like this!

    Emma, art is subjective & the rules are changing this decade as I've heard from the "biggies." What once was for Da Vinci, Van Gogh, Picasso, Monet, etc., isn't so much anymore. "We're" changing, shaking things up this century--art's taking a new form. And for translating Bob Ross into watercolor? I applaud you! I've tried many times to no avail. It looks GREAT! I'm proud of you and you should be also!

    Emma, I think you did a good job on this painting! A stiffer brush for the "stippling" would make the greenery easier to paint and add more texture-- maybe a stiff fan brush. The white ink is a great idea and makes the whole painting come alive.It's a clever idea to add color to the white ink, which I love to use. One could also use a rough sponge for the trees. Your videos are super and greatly appreciated!

    So, what I have observed from watching this, is that if you want to try a watercolour from an oil/acrylic tutorial - Watch the tutorial first!!! Then you can adjust the order in which you paint with watercolour so that you can get the light shading in there first and add the darker shades later. Having said that, Emma it looks amazing. Well Done!

I've painted using oil following Bob Ross's tutorials many, many years ago and just started watercolor in the last year or so. Watercolor is so different than oil and acrylic so don't feel like you were cheating. This video is a good experiment that shows the differences in the 2 styles. Watercolor is a much harder style to master than oil and acrylic so GOOD JOB!!!

That is useful. The highlights at the end was amazing how it gave so much depth. I never thought of highlights that way before. I always think about shadows giving depth. Thumps up!

I have tried to paint while following a video and sometimes it turns out but rarely can I follow at same speed someone who has more experience. I think if had the mountain reflection dry on me I might have taken some lake color and tried some ripples horizontally over the reflection or a wash over.
