That sounds wonderful Bob. I had many classes with family members ( mums, dads and everything in between! ) and they were always great fun. Enjoy - Happy Painting - Paul 😃😎
Well I don't take things too seriously. I also think being able to laugh at ones own happy accidents is a healthy state of mind. Hope your having a great weekend 😃😍😎
You are so welcome Douglas. Drop in a take a peek when you get a challenge. I'm sure I've discovered just about every way to foul it up and most of the fixes too 😎
Thank you! 😊 Annie. Keeping a little shadow here and there is a must for landscape paintings. Its just so tempting to fill everything with highlight. I keep missing your live painting sessions (darn). We're on winter time now and I hibernate more and more 😂
Your very welcome. I'm going to make another in a wee while and hopefully use a second camera angle just to emphasis some of the subtitle angles of the palette knife. But more anon. Have a great week 😍
Glad it was helpful Linda. I try aand squeeze a few tip s into every video. Even if its just me getting it wrong. So, I'm never stuck for material on that score 😂🥰
Hi Gini - I'm pleased to hear your impressed with my mistakes 😉😉 I make them and try to fix them so you hopefully avoid some of Bob's happy accidents. I've lots more videos to make so welcome aboard 😍😍
Thank you Paul ! for the detailed tutorial on the mountains you answered my question my mountains were smearing ! I was applying to much paint on my knife! again thanks again Paul !
Thank you for painting Valley View! I had a little trouble with this one and had to redo it. My grass on the mountain looked horrible so I let it dry, put white gesso on the top half, let it dry then did it again😜 It turned out much better the 2nd time. I've learned a lot from your tutorials. I've watched a hundred Bob Ross videos but you explain things so well that I've learned even more from you. Keep up the great work! I truly appreciate your tutorials 😊
You're very welcome Amy. AS you saw in my video I also had trouble with the pesky grass slopes so your not alone. Take care adding gesso over oils. Gesso's are traditionally applied to the canvas before oils. Oils being, well oilly tend not to let water based paints like gesso sticj too well. So watch out for any peeling. Hopefully you'll be fine. More videos on the way including some of my own stuff just for fun😃🥰
Hi and thanks for watching. Sorry about that with the music. I did a few without background music and folk complained that they missed it 😣I have turned it down to a very much lower volume and have discovered a setting on editing called audio ducking where the background music drops out almost completely when I speak. I hope to see you for some more painting fun soon. 😎
@@robertpalmer9831 Thank you Robert. Background music ot not is a bit of a love it or hate it issue. I think it adds a little atmosphere but that's me 😃😃😎😎
Thankyou for sharing your beautiful painting and for all the tips. I experimented on a mountain using your technique and i can really see/feel the difference...fab :)
Hi Deanie 😍. I really enjoyed painting this and am delighted it has helped you. Yep the grass change was a good idea in the end. Luckily it didn't turn into pea green soup 😂🥰
Beautiful work with the knife. I have been thinking to paint Bob boss style mountains, but dint happen yet. Lol But definitely gonna try out very soon. Gorgeous work once again, Paul. Love it ❤🥰
Hello Heema. Chuffed to read your lovely comments. I know what you mean by trying new techniques. My giant art cupboard has so may projects waiting to be tried, pencil, charcoal, pastel, water colour. I could open a small art store right here 😂Loving you channel too. Your bright vibrant art is a joy. 🥰🥰
Thank you, I’m now comfortable with starting mountains. I needed to see exactly how to load the knife, how to hold the knife, and how much pressure (or lack of!) to make high/low lights. I’m wondering, how do most students practice before creating a finished painting? Would one practice just mountains on a canvas and then clean it off? I don’t want to waste canvases. I have canvas paper, would it work to tape that to a canvas, to get the bounce back of a canvas, and disposing of the paper?
Hi Stephanie - I certainly did a few practice mountains before embarking on a full blown painting. Don't forget to prep the canvas with a thin, thin coat of liquid white and maybe a hint of colour for the sky. This ensures your practice will be the same as if you were painting a full painting. Then scrape off the paint and start again. It wont matter too much if the colours are a little off. Its the technique that matters. Canvas paper taped to a canvas is a perfect for practice work. I often used a canvas with its celophane still on. Have fun and take regular breaks. It will take a little practice. 😃
This is perfect lesson for refining my mountains technique...thank you 😊 question....what is the liquid black used for? I have not seen anyone use it.... just curious 🤔
Liquid black isn't used much. I think it was a good idea for a few paintings but not as appealing as liquid clear over black gesso which gives more scope for painting, However, I have a few tutorials for it - here's one ua-cam.com/video/0vk_MDEIM18/v-deo.htmlsi=y2MQMLfKAtv-4JGc 😍😎
The green behind the trees on the bottom half of the mountains looks really out of place. Perhaps a few more layers of trees rather than just stipled looking grass.
Yes, I agree. I've painted all the Bob Ross scenes differently at one time or another. Sometimes I like to show different techniques just to give folks a choice. Happy Painting 😃😎
Thank you for this tutorial, Paul! My daughter and I will be taking a Bob Ross class together in a couple weeks. Neither of us have ever done this!
That sounds wonderful Bob. I had many classes with family members ( mums, dads and everything in between! ) and they were always great fun. Enjoy - Happy Painting - Paul 😃😎
I enjoy your bits of self-deprecating humor, as well as your artistic tips, which I'm hoping will improve my paintings. Thank you!
Well I don't take things too seriously. I also think being able to laugh at ones own happy accidents is a healthy state of mind. Hope your having a great weekend 😃😍😎
Your adjustment to the grass was a great improvement
I think so too!😎
Beautiful painting! Thank you so much for your detailed explanations. I’m just beginning the wet on wet technique and find you to be an inspiration.
You are so welcome Douglas. Drop in a take a peek when you get a challenge. I'm sure I've discovered just about every way to foul it up and most of the fixes too 😎
Very nice painting, Paul!
Thank you Donald. Hope to see you for more painting tutorials soon 😎
Thanks Paul this is the name of my home town I want to paint it now !
Pleased to have inspired you! 😃😎
Darks are our best friends! Love that you showed adjusting the mountain shadow color. Well Done! 😍
Thank you! 😊 Annie. Keeping a little shadow here and there is a must for landscape paintings. Its just so tempting to fill everything with highlight. I keep missing your live painting sessions (darn). We're on winter time now and I hibernate more and more 😂
Great explanation! One of the best!Thank you .
Your very welcome. I'm going to make another in a wee while and hopefully use a second camera angle just to emphasis some of the subtitle angles of the palette knife. But more anon. Have a great week 😍
Thank you for the lesson
Going to try this one a go
Have fun!😃
I love it Paul.
Thanks Aaron. It was a fun painting to do and hope it will help master that pesky palette knife 😃
I learned so many tips from this video. THANK YOU!
Glad it was helpful Linda. I try aand squeeze a few tip s into every video. Even if its just me getting it wrong. So, I'm never stuck for material on that score 😂🥰

I rather like the music at the current settings.
@@robertpalmer9831 Thank you Robert. Background music ot not is a bit of a love it or hate it issue. I think it adds a little atmosphere but that's me 😃😃😎😎
Very nice painting Paul and some great tips as well!

Thankyou for sharing your beautiful painting and for all the tips. I experimented on a mountain using your technique and i can really see/feel the difference...fab :)
Wonderful Thea. That makes my day to hear I've helped you. Keep on perfecting the technique until it becomes as natural as using a knife and fork 😃😃
Love this and how you gave tips using the pallete knife. I also liked how you changed the green grass, great painting
Hi Deanie 😍. I really enjoyed painting this and am delighted it has helped you. Yep the grass change was a good idea in the end. Luckily it didn't turn into pea green soup 😂🥰
