I plan on doing a video about my brush cleaning process using baby oil. I will try to get that posted soon. With that said, the 2" brush is the hardest brush to clean. What kind of thinner are you using? If you are able to have two brushes available, one for light and one for dark, that is really helpful. I would recommend wiping out as much paint as possible before cleaning. Are you using a brush screen?

Thank you very much!

Thank you!

Of course!

Thank you! I'm learning a lot with video, as my background is more with photography. I'm glad it's helpful.

@@brokenamigo4880 Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you! Yes I have.

Noted! I will work on those :)

Yes, the liquid white should stay wet. I can certainly make a video on my brush cleaning process using baby oil. Thanks!

@ thank you ☺️

Absolutely! The next Beginner Basics video will be on Mountains. Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you! More videos are planned. I will also be starting a beginner series breaking down various Bob Ross techniques. That series should begin in the next week or two.

Hi! Yes, Bob did enjoy that. I don't use thinner to clean my brushes.

Hi! I use Bob Ross oil paints, which are not water solvent.

Thank you!

@kvapainting You are so Elcomme Sir!/Peter

Thank you! The paint kit is a great start. Here are a few tips: 1) Less is more - When I started I tried to fix everything in my paintings....it eventually led to me creating mud, which was not the look I desired. The more you practice, the better your technique will get. 2) Work on foundational skills - Practice the foundational skills such as trees, mountains, bushes, clouds, etc. The individual element mastery will lead to more confidence when doing full paintings. I will be starting a beginner basic series soon, where I will be breaking down the more common elements in a painting. Each video will be focused on one or two elements only. I'm in the process of filming and hope to have the first few videos edited / posted by next week sometime. Part One: Evergreen Trees Part Two: Mountain Part Three: Evergreen Trees and Mountain Basic Painting (combining part 1 and 2 into a basic painting) ...more parts to come! Please reach out if you have more questions.

@@kvapainting Alright thank you for the response, I will definitely keep an eye out for the beginners series! Keep up the amazing work! ^_^

What every bob ross video three times each and you will do just fine. In order to show the light, you need the dark. Good luck

@@goodbyemr.anderson5065 Thank you

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you! Watching Bob was a big part of my life. I started at the age of 16 watching him on tv and practicing. At the age of 19 I was certified to teach....many years later I thought I'd give KZbin a try, so here I am :) I plan on making many more videos showcasing the wet-on-wet technique!

I will definitely try to provide more closeup shots. Thanks!

Thank you! If you are using oil paints, as long as you have a thin oil on the canvas, the paint can slide. Additionally, different brands of oil paint may vary in thickness, but you could probably make it work. As far as cleaning the brushes, I have adjusted my process over the years. Early on I used odorless thinner, a bucket and screen, and a garbage can with a brush rack. As Bob did on TV, I would run the brush through the bucket and screen, and beat off the excess in the garbage can. I no longer use paint thinner due to health concerns. While a little more costly, I have multiples of each brush and clean them with baby oil. I put the baby oil in the Bob Ross bucket and screen and clean my brushes just like I used to with the thinner. However, baby oil doesn't dry, so I use a lot of paper towels to remove as much of the oil as possible before going back into any paint. If possible, I will paint an entire painting without having to clean any brushes until the very end. I've never had an issue with baby oil and my oil paintings not drying. I will likely do a video on how I clean my brushes.

U dont need thick paint to paint bob style and bob style is very ez to paint

Thank you!

Thank you! It is a fun one.

Thank you!

Thanks!

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks, I really appreciate your support!

Thank you!

Thanks! Yes, I plan on making more videos along with lessons for download.

it's so pretty, I have a question , those are oil painting , doesn't the white color mix with black when you paint snow on mountain?? Also can I use plastic palette knife instead of stainless??

@Asuna-de1yg Thank you! Yes, the white color would eventually mix with the mountain mixture. It is important to scrape away the excess paint so the highlights will stick better. A plastic palette knife should work fine.

Thank you!

Thank you so much! I look forward to making many more!

i look forward to those!! i love painting videos, they are very relaxing for me :)
