    Facts:
    - Ross never collected one paycheck from PBS in the 31 seasons his show ran.
    - Ross never sold any of his paintings. Instead, he gave them to various PBS stations to auction off with proceeds going to educational public television.
    - Ross rehabilitated injured animals in his youth and continued to do so as an adult. He was even known for bringing some of the animals on the show. The most famous was a squirrel named Peapod.

He had a thing about telling people in his videos that its okay how ever it turns out if your just starting you will get better also there are no mistake just happy little accidents. He had such a cool, relaxed, down to earth, encouraging and kind personality that he drew people in.

    I don't know if you did it but... one of the crucial aspects to a Bob Ross painting is you put a layer of liquid/undryed paint on the canvas first, white in this tutorial it seems, so when you paint everything blends really well. Either way you did a great job because we all had fun watching!

  • @matthill5426
    @matthill5426 3 роки тому +16

    **DIANE!** You've stumbled upon an American saint, an absolutely wonderful, kind person without a mean bone in his body! Bob Ross is a national treasure, not for his paintings (which were amazing!), but for his kindly personality, and what a wonderful, kind person he was every day in real life! True fact: he started off in the Air Force, as a military man! After leaving the military life honorably, he decided that he never wanted to hear yelling or screaming or barking orders ever again, so he took up painting, and his calm, relaxing demeanor!
    What you're missing (I'm a painter myself, so I know this), is that he does a "wet-into-wet" technique, where the canvas is already wet with primer, so the colors blend together more easily!
    Believe me, Bob Ross is a saint, just the best kind of person! He even set up a school for painting in Japan, and there are pictures of him standing with his Japanese students all holding their "Bob Ross-style" paintings and obviously loving the whole thing. There's a reason his show was called... "The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross!" :)
    Happy Little Trees for you and Chewie! And there are no mistakes, just happy accidents! :) (those are both Bob Ross-isms!) :)

  • @therandomstranger3951

    It took me a long time to figure out that he pre-treated his canvas with white that helped with all the blending.

    His 20 year career as an Air Force NCO is why his voice is so calming, after 20 years of screaming at people for being late/out of uniform/not cleaning the barracks/etc and hating every second of it he made a vow he'd never raise his voice again. He grew up around Orlando, FL (my home town) and lived here when he passed away. I've met one of his next door neighbors who confirmed he had a back porch full of cages with injured wildlife that he took care of, and I've met more than one person who wound up in line with him at the grocery store. Everyone said he was the same in person in real life as he was on camera, just a really sweet person. I'm always glad to see someone keeping his memory alive :-)

    Magic White is a base coat made by Bill Alexander, Bob Ross's Teacher, then when Bob Ross starting painting on PBS, he painted the wet on wet technique he learned using the Magic white, but he called it Liquid White..
    The Magic White is a mixture of White oil Paint and Linseed oil, and Thinner basically, but Bill Alexander had his own secret ingredients, and it was never made for Acrylic paint, you put the magic white on your canvas as a base coat to make it sleek, slick, smooth and slippery, and the paints blend beautifully, your paints when applied will lighten in color and give you different values to you colors without you having to even think about it.

  • @samantharose5255

    What went wrong is that the canvas was not prepared with liquid white. This helps with blending the colors on the canvas, like primer for eye shadow (mentioned in the beginning of the video). The colors and type of paint he used are from his kit so the colors he gets on the canvas are colors he blended from his kit. The colors do not matter as long as it is the right type of paint but it's easier to follow along with his painting kit. He used various types of brushes made of different materials from his kit than the brushes used in this video. Certain types of brushes are used for different types of paint. Bob uses these brushes from his kit to create the effects in his painting. He did not usually use his fingers because he used the wet on wet painting technique. It's ok to not to have the brushes from his kit as long it's the right brushes. He did not used water to blend or to clean the paint, he used paint thinners. He also used a medal canvas knife rather than a plastic one because it was less floppy and can create more steadier strokes. In earlier episodes he goes into more of how he paints the way he dose.
    I'm not trying to mean but, giving constructive criticism. If you were have another go at it, you can see how to improve. You don't need to paint with Bob, you can take your time. Bob just shows how he makes his art.
    On a side note, I like how abstract your art came out. It looks good. :)

    Best part of Bob Ross is listening to his mellow voice and gaze restfully as he creates the painting. Just the rhythm and tone of his words as he painted the scenery was positive and restful. just as he describe the features he'd be painting he would include little back stories of each part painted. in your mind the words, the tone, the painting process and the painting were all guided by the happy voice. I never painted along with him; He was the calming therapy after a difficult day outside.

    Lol! Hey, this is a great learning experience for you!
    I still have my first painting from when I was 4-years-old, and your painting looks WAY better than mine did!
    So now you know you need a much bigger pallet, an easel to hold your canvas, and wider brushes for your base layers.
    I wouldn't suggest linseed oil with acrylic. Instead, just use paint thinner. You'll want paint thinner anyway to clean your brushes, as the acrylic will turn them into bricks if not thoroughly cleaned. I'd also recommend starting with paint brushes from a dollar store or hardware store; art store brushes - while way higher quality - are gonna get ruined fast by beginners, so go cheap with supplies until you become more proficient.
    This is actually a great rule to follow when getting into any hobby. Remember, you can't buy skill; skill must be earned through experience! Buying Gucci gear isn't gonna help you master your fundamentals, and you'll probably have more difficulty as the nicer gear is often built for those who already have mastered the fundamentals. This, as said before, applies to petty much all hobbies.

    While he was a great artist, his best contribution was in the positivity that he brought. Bob Ross would never make fun of any attempt, or belittle any (attempting) artist. His kindness and soft manner was an encouragement and a welcome change for a generation.

    A lot of people don’t put anything but paint on their canvas when doing these painting. Bob Ross always puts on what’s called Liquid White which helps the paint blend easier.

  • @sborrink
    @sborrink 3 роки тому +1

    Not bad for your first time. The main reason his paint blends that way is because the canvas he's using has a layer of white paint on it already, that is not dry, and that allows the colors to blend easier. As for the large brush (2 inch/5cm) that's an item you would find at your local hardware store ( any shop with a big paint section). I think he uses natural fiber brushes, and a lot of kit brushes are synthetic. The palette knife is a thing of magic in these paintings once you know how to use it.
    I would love to see you try another one of these, but I would suggest just watching some of the early Bob Ross videos so you can observe the techniques and apply them yourself.
