I can't belive actual real Bob Ross straightened his hair for this.

[@anbu1325]

I love this comment!

[@sentientcomet]

Fun fact about Bob Ross: his hair is actually naturally straight!

[@BoredGhostInk]

He has a hauntingly accurate impression of Bob Ross

[@safaiaryu12]

Seriously!

[@Lyissaful]

It definitely made me do a double take

[@nevisnebis1207]

I thought that was a voice changer 😞

[@runt5622]

Kira losing her mind and her brother just chilling and doing his own thing is the most relatable sibling dynamic I’ve seen ngl

[@meganparish1431]

"Wow.....that made it worse." My guy speedran the five stages of grief with his delivery of that line. An absolutely wonderful addition to this saga, you guys! Well done, Bob would be proud.

[@UncannyDoge]

Heya! Just as a tip: the "liquid white" is actually a very thin mix of Titanium White and Linseed Oil. So you will mix a tiny bit of the linseed oil in with a tiny bit of the titanium white and apply it to the canvas AFTER you gesso the canvas. I had a Bob Ross birthday party and had to learn this the hard way too! Otherwise, y'all did great! Love the results

[@Psych.o.delica]

"Ragequits the joy of painting" had me cackling out loud 😂

[@Phaleure]

I think traditionally Bob uses Liquid White to prime his canvas which does not dry as fast as gesso. He would do 2 coats of a gray gesso, and then use the liquid white on top to make sure he got everything wet. That is why his canvas is always wet and blends so easily, but I still think yall did a really good job at creating your paintings!

[@Phaleure]

sorry... Liquid WHyyyy-te

[@sonicfreak04]

that's correct, you actually can make it by thinning down titanium white with mineral spirits and linseed oil until it reaches the consistency of gravy.

[@mikehickey6256]

He used pre double primed canvas. He mentions that at the beginning of every show. Another thing he does is focus on the painting instead of himself. You are a freak show. You probably can't help it, but at least quit going out of your way to display it.

[@hexonyou]

@@mikehickey6256 wtf is wrong with you dude?

[@alannanelli8674]

Gotta prime that canvas with the art gravy

[@goblinnamedsam]

"Call a tutorial...but not for me *gun*" KILL ME! Please do more videos with your brother. He's so funny and you guys bounce off each other beautifully

[@MeganOReilly-jr9cr]

Why is his hair so majestically smooth

[@Artemisx13]

It's so glossy.

[@Wildflowerkat]

I love how she’s like “Don’t feel too bad” and her brothers like “I don’t feel bad” 😂😂😂

[@joesoswag2515]

I love both paintings so much, the way Kira’s is loud and colorful while her brother’s is quiet, cold and a little eery

[@hungrylikealoup]

You and your brother have such a great sibling dynamic! Did NOT expect his hair. I think your painting turned out great!! I loved the little rapids and extra bits of snow bank you added. I think it framed the scene really well, and the rapids give an extra little bit of visual interest. If you're at all interested in acrylic painting for landscapes (and other scenes), there's a YT channel I've been following for many years now (tho I haven't watched in a hot minute) called "Stay Creative Painting with Ryan O'Rourke." He's done tons of beautiful acrylic paintings on his channel, highly detailed, great instruction; I actually started following him for his 10-minute painting tutorials. You might learn how to hone your skills from him! Also, not bad try for your brother's painting! To me it looks like mountains peaking out of a heavy cloudbank, like when you're flying in an airplane and look out the window and all you see is clouds below you :)

[@artharpy5003]

How tf was this 15hrs ago, video came out 15secs ago

[@simple2316]

What how?!

[@ladyclaire6957]

​@@artharpy5003 kira has a patreon and one of the perks is early access to videos so they're a patron!

[@tinyworrywart]

The start of the video I was like WHO IS THIS DIVA ?! And then the booming deep voice came out LOLL

[@huntressmma1822]

Your brother painted the peaks of Everest poking through the clouds

[@hexonyou]

ngl, your sibling relationship is so friggin' wholesome and it really makes up for my dazzling lack of connection with my own. I've loved watching your Bob Ross videos and your brother's commentary in general lol

[@markmybirds]

Cool tip! Lmao. From someone with a BFA (I actually don't paint with oils due to health issues with my lungs but I did enjoy it when I chanced it for school). Oils and paint thinners come out with dishsoap or wood-floor-soap. So I used to wipe my brushes with a rag that had a little bit of soap on it when I needed a clean brush to do the next part. (Just adding this comment cause of what Executive Confuser said at 12:45.) Also make sure to get the soap out with the same rag or paper towel. Also your paints are different from Bob Ross' because he didn't have the thinners and minerals we do now. Our oils thin much easier due to just how long it's been since Bob painted for us. A tip for doing the trees and not getting as muddy. Try not to dab like you would with acrylics and use darker colours on wet paint than what Bob is using. That's also why you have a more pastel-based palette. I love both of your mountains. Oh god I turned into one of those: People who actually paint posters. It's been like 10 years since I used oil so I could be wrong with these things above. I just am an acrylic and gouache user so I adapted to oils for school. I so agree with the "After this I'll just go back to Warframe" comment about oil painting.

[@reiningsoral]

the sibling dynamics are unmatched

[@modernghost0]

Ngl there's something surreally beautiful about his with just a flat white landscape. I fuck with it

[@bravehearticus]

I could fall asleep listening to your brother reading audiobooks

[@christinakohl6111]

I don't know what i expected your brother to look like but it wasn't such long lucious locks😮 your painting came out really pretty even with all the struggles❤

[@amaeve1950]

Bob Ross really fell into that 2000's straight hair trend. Didn't even cut his hair!

[@SHRUBarts]

We need more brother in your content 😂. His energy makes me happy

[@Nahsaghara]

"wow that made it worse" took me tf out 😂😂

[@meli7408]

I'm french so we never heard about Bob before 5 years ago. I remember the first time I saw a Bob Ross video, the bewilderment and the love I felt for that show ❤ one of my best discoveries !

[@MakerAcreNinjaNetwork]

Kira this was as delightful as I thought it would be, when you first pitched the idea in the last Spooky episode! Definitely hope you’ll both do a Christmas edition as well, but have to sprinkle in iconic Christmas things…maybe drawn from a hat at random for both of you! 🤷‍♂️😁😜❤️‍🔥🫂🙏🤞

[@AngelavengerL]

Your painting turned out absolutely gorgeous! I love the addition of the moon and stars. Your brothers was super good for being his first. You two laughing together was just so wholesome and fun. Definitely love to see more sibling crafting and art as an occasional treat! also ayo Warframe mention! Awesome that he's also a gamer!

[@jonreads366]

I just got settled in with coffee, this is such a good morning:D Edit: WHY IS IT SO GOOD

[@Willis-k1p]

Call an executive confuser... *but not for me!* 🔫 This is precious! It's sort of insane to comment on the sibling energy between literal siblings, but this video is wildy wholesome and chaotic in the best way. 💙 Great job on the Ross!

[@_starry_eyed_sky_]

Love that you got Bob to be with you lol! 😂🙈 Your brother needs to tell us the hair care routine, I wish mine could be that long and healthy looking 😭🙈

[@justinpaoli]

I like your bro's commentary. Have him on more often!

[@ilovemikki4944]

I love the relationship between Kira and her brother. It's very relatable and quite entertaining!

[@jadedjhypsi]

have not even started watching but wanted to say I am so excited for the real oil attempt !!! 💕

[@Lucifer_Abysseum]

i love these cozy videos they're so fun ! and i love the interactions with the executive confuser. Thank you for sharing your art !

[@safaiaryu12]

WARFRAME?! Actually, I was about to say I didn't expect Warframe mentioned in the wild, but I'm remembering that you used a Kavat as a reference in a prior video! 😅 Warframe is my favorite game, hope your brother is having fun (and you, if you play)! Your painting is great! Especially since you're not using Bob Ross-quality paint. You handled all the techniques really well!

[@rudooka2117]

The voice of Brother ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@thesaviourfromheavensunwuk9639]

20:16 there are no words how I can describe how amazing and beautiful both of the painting.

[@junkyard_dog18]

i loved this !!! try using oil and acrylic in tandem -- not mixing them together, of course, but creating an underpainting in acrylic and then expanding on it with oils. it works really well and saves on money, since oils are quite expensive...

[@madebymaryssa]

You've got a very cold, snowy landscape! I wanted some hot chocolate and a blanket just looking at it. I like the airbrushed pink on the water to reflect the sky, and the haze around the stars and moon. Your brother's painting reminds me of some photos I've seen of planes flying over foggy areas with a bit of landscape reaching up through the clouds.

[@OscelotTheCat]

These came out great. I honestly love how your brother's turned out, too. It reminds me of a valley covered in fog at the foot of the mountains.

[@annabellmclennan2004]

As someone who is currently taking an in depth oil painting class...you're doing amazing!👏👏

[@CarlosNievesartandphotography]

I like both paintings, thought you guys did really good. I'm a Bob Ross certified instructor in Florida, what they all a CRI. One thing I recommend is bigger bristle brushes. Bob Ross brushes are super thick and pick up a good amount of paint to evenly distribute and blend really good. Another thing is he uses liquid white to prime the canvas, liquid white is an oil-based primer that helps blend the other oil colors, hence why it's called wet on wet. Also, if that air brushing is water based, eventually it will crack and fall off the painting because oil based can go on top of dry water based, but not the other way around. Again, I think the paintings came out great.

[@Bobbijart444]

👏 👏 👏 to you and your brother! I vote for another one!! ❤❤❤

[@Annagator-ze8oo]

Ok but a video of your brother starting a painting and you finishing it would actually be so cool!

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

I really enjoyed the friendly batter between you two and your brothers voice is quite southing 😊 If you try again, get some liquid white as it works a lot better then gesso 😉

[@gvymamdvcnj131309]

I love it! I should drag my siblings into painting with me….. lolol

[@josi_k.]

I'm so impressed by ur result! It's very beautiful, and adding the little moon was the perfect cherry on top imo! I really enjoyed this video, so entertaining, really liked the dynamic with ur Brother, reminds me of my sister.^^ In fact I was so captivated that I just sat there, watching the whole time, other than just taking my tablet with me and doing chores like it was my plan😅. I needed some good vibes today, thank u both!❤

[@Haley_Alexis99]

You and your brother: *Getting along and painting with Bob Ross.* My brother and me: *A literal war zone. Possibly WWIII levels* P.S. I do not like ASMR type noises. But I would listen to your brother just tell me a bedtime story for the rest of my life. So soothing. I love it.

[@milenakoseva6018]

WOW, that turned out amazing! ❤❤❤ Your brother's painting looks so good, too, it has a great winter mood. ❄

[@spaceyfireneko]

Honestly? Bob would be proud of you both

[@dejahdanger]

Love yours. Actually really like your brothers too. It’s desolate. In a good way.

[@mTArtist_mTAoMM]

"You sweet summer child" The wet on wet tecnique Bob uses has a dried gesso base, like most canvas, and liquid white lightly brushed on the canvas; to test, after applying the liquid white touch the canvas and your finger print should be covered in the paint, not your whole finger tip. Touch a finger to four different sections of the canvas to make sure it is all covered properly. It won't take much. If you use too much it'll blend too much or run. The liquid white will stay wet the whole painting time. You can buy liquid clear and add an oil paint to it to color it, 1:! ratio. I think the black canvas, or black and white, he uses he usually puts down liquid clear. However I really like your painting either way! It's very detailed, like you always do, and I love it!

[@Sakura2596]

It makes a huge difference when you use the correct medium. They both look wonderful!

[@pocoyo9820]

idea: a bob ross challenge in clothing/outfits pieces!

[@emisparta8840]

Your brother got such a great voice! He could voice an Audible AND I WOULD LISTEN!!

[@Noelle_001]

I actually really like how your brother's mountains turned out

[@LeeCarlson]

You have done an excellent job following Mr. Ross' tutorial, and I'm pleased you have discovered oil paints and their uses.

[@Squishy_Seal]

Ok that intro outfit hits haaard !

[@polinastroikova9551]

Love your sibling dynamic!!! You both are so sweet! ❤

[@Holyflowers741]

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite types of videos from this channel!! Something about the banter and the painting and how its chill but also still engaging and fun, idk i really like it a lot!!

[@autumnwind2957]

Loving the fact that your brother switching hands like it's normal haha really like your energy it's so entertaining and heartwarming to see you doing this kind of stuff, I'm an only child and damn what a big regret to don't have anyone by my side to do things like this ! Big huge amount of love on both of you from France :3

[@subtlefire7256]

I hope you'll make more videos with your brother, your dynamic is delightful

[@Ms.Kaleidoscope]

Loved this series of videos so much! So cool to see you and your brother!

[@chondele]

Your brother’s voice is very calming

[@ChantelleArts]

oooh that pink sky is gorgeous though!! 😍😍

[@c.r.8195]

Even when your brother wasn't trying to sound like Bob, he sounds so Bob Ross-y cause he appears so chill 😂 Please keep this series going ❤ 🙏

[@carlismunoz6979]

Please please please keep this saga going with your brother 😂 it's so good!

[@MelanieFuller-ee2zf]

I know that they're expensive, but buying quality oil paints and the correct brushes make a huge difference. You did a wonderful job as always. I started painting with oils in 4th grade so for me, the move to acrylics was difficult.

[@mrch2mybeat1]

We need a video of you doing something you've done a lot (character design, sculpting, painting) and have your brother do the voice over comentary :D

[@EthalaRide]

The brother's painting if giving 'flat earth ice wall' but those cloudes are very pretty. It feels like what I'd do if I tried to paint 'wanderer above the sea of fog' by memory. Nice job!

[@kurenaianemone]

I haven't personally tried oil paints (because I find them intimidating but also painting is messy), but I do think adding a slow drying medium or fluid medium to your acrylics to make them easier to use the wet on wet technique is a good alternative if you don't end up liking oils that much! I was going to say you should check out my favorite oil painter Kelsey Beckett for painting portraits, but she doesn't have many videos up so I'm not sure how much help that would be... Yet again the end product has blown me away though! Adding the rapids was such a nice touch 💛

[@IWannaTryThat]

Love the interaction between you and your brother!❤

[@silver_etch]

Please tell your brother his hair is gorgeous and I love it! The paintings turned out great and I loved listening to you guys interact, it was super sweet.

[@Yokopalu]

I had this video in the background while crafting and i was so confused cause your brothers voice is so scarily similar to Bob Rosses that i had do do double takes multiple times.

[@marialouise3450]

you brother needs to do voice overs for books or something omg what a lovely voice

[@Orinmaxden]

I love you and your brothers conversations.

[@Squishy_Seal]

I love how the painting turned out ! Its amazing how brushstrokes can evoke such realistic shapes. It really looks great, I should try doing it some time. Plus me being the winter freak that I am, I just love me some good wintery scenery.

[@lanita_mcgray]

His hair is so long and looks so soft🤩 I wants to touch it... but I won't😻 Your Bob Ross painting looks great! I really like how your composition came out.

[@PancakeNumberTwo]

Thank you guys for allowing me to sit on the couch with you for this piece of wholesome content ❤

[@Cocoanutty0]

Your brother’s started like some Lord of the Rings mountains and ended a lot like the mountains above the clouds when flying and both are so cool

[@inkobiwankenobi1704]

Wow! This gave me so much joy! ❤

[@sammimadanat9693]

I LOVE how you added your own touch in the sky with the moon and stars. Very Kyraesque.

[@sarahbynum97]

I know I’ve never seen her brother but why is the back of him so accurate of what I thought he would look like

[@ThereforeStand]

I really like your content that utilizes your sense of humor. You are very clever and I really dig your sarcastic self. Sarcasm is life for myself and my husband. A great sense of humor helps me to process this awful world and to give me the strength I need for healing. Thank you for your Art. It helps to make me laugh. Not to mention how talented you are. Thanks again.

[@secretly7bees]

this painting turned out so lovely! I mean this as a sincere compliment; with the rapids it feels like a wintry version of a beautiful painting that used to be in my grandma's house also love the parallel painting, very fun!

[@RedrumSketches]

Yknow since this painting is a snowy wonderland type, its kind of like a spiritual successor to the first time you did a bob ross painting on your channel with mspaint

[@hansweijden7938]

My friend and I had the exact same problem while trying to use oil paint even though we were very careful about not using to much liquid white or paint. It was still smudge city. Acrylic turned out way easier even though you have to use a completely different technique which kind of makes the tutorial pointless. Loved the video, the presence of Bob Ross (aka brother) and the end results!

[@Mr.MossyTeacup]

I loved the commentary as you were painting 🎨 🖌️ It turned out really well, especially the water effects Your brother's painting is kind of giving caldera, and it's probably still significantly better than anything I could do with my current skillset.

[@polinastroikova9551]

Thank you for the video ❤ It brings me so much joy ❤

[@BlueMerStudios]

This was very soothing to watch! I hope you both do more paintings together

[@classicalslayer4109]

Oh this was chicken soup for my soul it's so cold in the UK right now. Thanks for giving me the comfy vibes. I'm a sicker for white pink and blue and this video has got me really wanting to paint more which will help in my art course atm. Also your brother has a incredible bob Ross impression and the banter was so silly I loved it. Lovely work have a wonderful evening

[@heidi.with.an.i]

I never imagined him with long hair oh my HAHAHSHS you guys should more videos together, they’re a blast :D

[@reagankooch9654]

that's.... lowkey GORGEOUS!!

[@Shannyn-qf1kl]

This is amazing I’m excited to see the next one

[@Glorfindel_117]

Wow his texture on the snow of his mountains is incredible! A shame he couldnt get more done, but that's very understandable

[@CheshieD]

Your brother’s looks like it’s from the perspective of someone at the peak of a mountain. Like when you get so high that there’s this cloud shelf over the valley but you can clearly see the tops of the other mountains. Also I really love yours, it definitely seems closer to Bob’s (at least style wise) but I get not enjoying working with oils!

[@lindseybotelho]

Kira this is so good!!!

[@brianbackes4551]

For your first time, you did a great job ! I love it ! 😀 Keep it up !

[@acorn6829]

hell yea, I love this-the videos with Brother are amazing XD

[@ghostbunnie7092]

both painting look so good!
