It pays for me to keep watching these videos over and over I keep picking up new bits of info....the baby wipe to wipe off the paint and start over...brilliant! Thank you 😊
Fantastic video Paul very helpful, happy days 👍👍🎨
Glad you enjoyed it Dan. 😎
Got it! Perfectly explained Paul - thank you for your brilliant tips on working with Black Gesso Acrylic 👍😁
Thank you Terri 😍😍
FANTASTIC TIPS! You are a wonderful teacher Paul 👍😍 Loved the final small painting.
Thanks so much Annie. I watched your delightful bee study the other day. Simply super. I love your chat with 'hello' Emily too. Your a great team 😍😍
@@PaulRansonArt Emily is so good for me! 👋😍
Great tips Paul, one of my favorite things to paint! 💕
Same here Yovette. Forest Gump would say 'Northern Lights are like a box of chocolates...' Have a great day 🤗🤗
Thank you.
You're welcome Aaron. I hope its helpful for a future painting 😃
Hello I am transitioning from acrylics to oils...thank you for your wonderful tutorials... very helpful 😊
You are so welcome! Have fun enjoying this new medium BUT its addictive so take care! 🥰😎
Hey Paul!! These are some great tips, even I learnt something from them, how about that eh, cheers pal :)
Glad you enjoyed it Damo 😃
I learned a lot from this video. I ordered oil paints, and waiting for them to arrive. I'll have to give this a try.
Thank you Marene. I hope you enjoy oil painting. Its very forgiving and easy to correct those happy accidents. Just follow the tutorials and have fun
so beautiful to watch your process :) I wish to be able to se the Northern Lights in person some day :)
I hope so too! We're a bit too far south to see theme here in the UK. But who knows. maybe a trip to the north one day ✨✨
Thank you Paul, I certainly learnt a lot and your painting of the Aurora Borealis looked realistic, please could you show us how to paint a realistic Rainbow 🌈 many thanks Paul
Great suggestion Sylvia. I've painted a few not very successfully I might add 😣. But I have a Baldrick 'cunning plan' to try for my next one. Stay tuned😀
@Paul Ranson Art great Paul thank you, I am looking forward to seeing a beautiful rainbow
Hello, Paul! Great demonstration and information about transparency and opacity. This is valuable information for anyone trying to mix the right colour and how it may appear on canvas.
As for the Northern Lights, I hope to see them one day in person. Last weekend, people here caught a glimpse of them after a storm passed.
Hope you’re having a great week! 💖
Cor seeing the Northern Lights would be amazing. The closest they get to us in the UK is Scotland and a rare visit to the Midlands. Hope your week is going well too. 😍
Great tips as always... I have been a victim of not testing the color. But I learned that from most of your videos. You test colors all the time... and I do now as well.. keep doing what you do.. 🤜🤛💪💕
Thank you for your kind comments HHP 😍 I've learned the hard way with taking a chance on having the right colours. More videos and tutorials on the way 😎
Excellent so beautiful shearing dear friends 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Thank you Yunus. A thousand 💛💛💛💛💛💛 back 😍
My bob ross Indian yellow was completely visible along along with crimson. Why did my colors show up when they weren't supposed to?
Hi - Indian Yellow and Alizarin Crimson ( plus a few other colours ) are called transparent colours, but they can still be seen against black unless applied very thinly. Even so, Indian Yellow turns a slight shade of green. So, the term transparent often applied to things like clear glass is a misnomer. They are however 'transparent' compared to other colours like Ochre or White which are opaque - Hope this helps - Happy Painting Holidays
@PaulRansonArt so my crimson clearly showed before I used white to make it pip out lime bob ross does because I used too much? I honestly didn't think I used much I just used enough to cover the canvas in it and have the yellow in the middle. For some reason the yellow turned orange lol can you help me out please? Can you do a close up instructional video on the right way to apply it and the right amount so it doesn't show till you apply white please? That would really mean a lot to me because it was so stressful and aggravating. I had planned to do a painting for my mom for Christmas but apply for the crimson and the yellow just right on top got me so mad and I never finished the painting :(
Like I mentioned before you will see a hint of A Crimson no matter how thinly you apply it. If you really can't see any trace of colour the you will be very disappointed with the finished painting which will be more grey than colour. Its a matter of experimenting. Usually once the Northern Lights are painted the contrast is strong enough for anyone to see any of the Alizarin Crimson . When you apply Indian Yellow be sure not to let the Alizarin Crimson blend into it. This makes the orange colour. Its so easy for this to happen so take care. I'd love to have time to make individual videos but its just not possible. Each video can take up to 2 weeks to make so its just not possible. I will make a note though to explain this more when I next make a video of the Northern Lights - Best wishes and Happy Holidays - Paul @@LUIZS87
I was saying I was seeing too much color of the crimson and Indian yellow for some reason and wasn't sure of the right amount since Ross never shows how much in the videos. Not interested in doing the lights I was just curious as to how much Ross put on his canvas that didn't show color that many times other than the yellow and also the crimson looked like it was just laying on top of the gesso lol it's just so frustrating to see the color pop out as the actual color as well instead of blending in like it shows on his videos. Beginner here so idk how much to actually apply for the right amount like him
Oh I see. I've found that whet the camera can 'see' isn't always the same as real life. IWhen I stand in front of my canvas I too can clearly see traces of Alizarin Crimson but the camera just sees black. Its only when you apply a white or opaque colour that the camera picks up the Alizarin Crimson. Its a challenge and I've spent a long time playing with lighting and camera angles but its just a limit of what digital cameras can do. 🤔🤔🤗🤗😎😎@@LUIZS87
