    I became interested in painting because of Bob Ross. Congrats to you for your attempts in his style using acrylics. Just keep on developing your methods and do not become defeated by your failures. Today even though I have become a fine detail artist I from time to time still incorporate some of the things which he and Jerry Yarnell taught me many years ago. It never hurts to watch others paint on videos. Watching others will give you inspiration and hunger to refine your development. You have a good start. Now run the race and finish the course.

    Got to love the kids honesty. Quick to point out the tree wasn't quite right. Personally I like the water in acrylic painting. The "silvery" sheen of the water seems much more realistic.

    Try using the gesso with an acrylic retarder. 10:1 gesso to retarder ratio. It does enable a pseudo wet in wet but you have to still work faster because the foreground may be drying and will start to get tacky. You may have to add some retarder to the paint or use Golden Open Acrylics which dries slower than others. Also, spraying the back of the canvas with water will slow down the canvas from soaking up the H20 in the paint and allow for a slower drying time as well.

    Hi! I'm french, i discovered Bob Ross just some weeks ago, and I immediatly tried to paint like him, because.... Well, that guy made oil paint seems soooo easy. A masterpiece in 30 minute? I'm in! But just like you, I reaaaaaally hate oil painting (too dirty, impossible to really clean, and it seems it's neeeever dry....) so I tried with acrylics, but with little results only. What you made in this video encouraged me : yes, obviously, Bob's method is not only for oil painting! I just need more practice! Thank you for your vid, you've done really good! (and I largely prefer your acrylic paint! )

    Hi April! I am a new subscriber to your channel. I was looking for inspiration and found you here. Thank you for showing us your talents and ideas on painting a Bob Ross painting in acrylics. I agree with you totally how oil paints and brush clean up is so unlikable. I used to paint in oils only but after trying acrylics, it is hard for me to justify painting in oils other than the paintings sometimes come out much richer and dry with a nice sheen compared to acrylics but there are ways around that. I also wanted to mention that Bob used a liquid white which as you probably know is an oil based primer that when applied lightly will help the mixing and blending process tremendously. The gesso (or acrylic paint) is used as an underlayment but needs to be completely dry before applying any oil paint over it or it would create archival problems down the road. Oil paint however can be used over completely dry gesso or acrylic paint but not the other way around. I hope you are staying safe! And as Bob Ross says "Happy painting and God bless my friend"!

    Hi April. Thanks for this . I ve watched a lot of BR videos but I was always put off by the oil paints and the fantasy subject matter. I often wondered if any expert could transfer the wonderful technique to acrylic AND allow regular landscapes to be painted. I think you have achieved that. Great.

  • @LS-ti1rz
    @LS-ti1rz 11 місяців тому +2

    You should add an acrylic retardant to the white Gesso. I believe a ten percent ratio retardant to the Gesso will keep the Gesso and subsequently the paints themselves wet long enough for the desired effect.

    I followed a Bob Ross painting tutorial with acrylic because of the same reason, oil is messy. After following with acrylic, that can get messy too. I did use the gesso in place of magic white, but I also added glazing medium to give it more slip. The painting turned out ok, I think the blue I used gave it a muddy look because it was a crafting paint, I didn't have the Masters Touch blue, I had the other colors though. I wasn't going to go out and buy new paint for this experiment. I used what I had on hand. Aother thing with Masters Touch paint, its not a high quality paint and it the one you used is a soft body acrylic, they do make a hard body acrylic now, but I don't think I would invest in it. What I would like to try with a Bob Ross, is the water mixable oil paint, it cleans up with plain water and has less odor. The one I wanted to try is Windsor & Newton Atisan.

  • @mynameisman1254
    @mynameisman1254 4 роки тому +3

    You nailed it! Bob Ross is what really got me into painting, I started with acrylics and I eventually I started with oils, my first oils were Bob Ross Oils, and then I got some Gamblin Oils (1980 series) but I’m a true acrylic artist at heart 😊, I noticed that your brush was getting choppy and out of shape this is because these brushes are natural bristle brushes and even though I’m sure you’ve used natural bristles with acrylics for some reason the Bob Ross ones are different and I don’t know why, I think it’s the type of bristle, you can get these bigger type brushes on amazon that would be more suitable for acrylics. I want you to keep those brushes nice, trust me I’ve done it before and I ruined my brushes.

    Gesso is a chalk based acrylic paint. You need to use the white liquid clear the black liquid clear in the liquid clear that's what you put on the canvas to make your paints move and the acrylics with last longer to smooth them out Bland gesso is not what he's using to blend his colors

  • @joshuaturner9116
    @joshuaturner9116 2 роки тому +1

    This was very helpful as I am just getting into painting. One tip though, I noticed your using Bob's signature brushes which are natural bristle and are a must for oil painting. the problem is the natural bristle will absorb the water in water based paints like acrylic and get floppy and cause the bristles to fall out. So that's why you were probably having issues here. Beautiful job btw.
