[@user-id5oh1hl3m]

Great picture Paul...I am going to try this and call it Gentle Falls it looks so peaceful

[@PaulRansonArt]

Sounds wonderful. Have fun and make a new scene of your own 😃😎

[@kerriangle0214]

What a creative and brilliant way to come up with a new piece! I especially enjoyed your technique for painting the sun filtering through the tree and lighting up the scenery nearby. Thank you for sharing your unique creation and bringing a bright spot to my Sunday! ☀️ 🌲 🖼️ 🙂

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thank you so much Kerri. Yes, that burnt orange glow with the warm sunlight is a neat trick and works with this type of scene. Try adding a drop to a future painting and see how it looks. Hope you have a week full of bright spots and I'll do my best to dish up on this Sunday too 😃😍😎

[@AmusingYeti]

Amazing work Paul! Would love to see more combined paintings!

[@SRTW67]

Me too!

[@PaulRansonArt]

Your wish is my command folks! I have an idea or two for later on. But If you have a couple of favourites do let me know and I'll add them to my list of candidates 😃

[@AmusingYeti]

@@PaulRansonArt Looking forward to it Paul! I would love to see a painting with a blue spruce tree in it too if you fancied some inspiration 😊

[@PaulRansonArt]

Its a coincidence but I did look at Bob's lone blue spruce painting as a future tutorial. Great minds ...maybe @@AmusingYeti

[@robinruby3156]

Definitely!!

[@robynplummerpainting]

Hello, Paul! What a delightful mash-up of classics that inspired your lastest! I really enjoyed watching your application of paint to create the falls and the sun peeking out the side of the fir in the distance. A title… 🤔… Golden Hour on the Falls. 🙃🤷🏻‍♀️💖 Love to all.

[@PaulRansonArt]

Hi Robyn and the gang 🥰 Like a nice pie ... its a warm and full of all the good stuff with a nice golden crust! Now Golden Hour on the Falls sounds like my kind of title. Have a great week 😍😎

[@AnnieTroe]

Hi Paul! LOVE that light lavender color! Really wonderful sun and sun kissed tree!! Loved seeing how you did it. Thanks for sharing 👋😍

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thanks so much Annie 😍 I struggled to describe the sun's position and you got it just right 'sun kissed tree' - Loveing your channel @annietroe - wonderful paintings and tutorials as always 😃😍😎

[@avatarofdeath]

You could do this series forever and I would watch

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thats so kind of you. As long as nice folk like you are watching, I'll keep on painting and pickle making 😃😎

[@BCBonsler]

STUPENDOUS!!! That's the only other adjective that I don't think anyone else has used for your beautiful painting. As always, thank you Paul for sharing your knowledge with us. ❤ 🤩💥

[@PaulRansonArt]

Wow, thank you! Yes an new adjective indeed. Have a lovely day - Paul 😍

[@user-dw1bs5ct5c]

I really like this combination idea! Excellent result.

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thank you Анна I'm so pleased you enjoyed my idea for a painting. Cheers!😃😍😎

[@JayNAmyHiatt]

Yet again...just lovely!🥰 It really adds so much when the snow/highlights on the trees reflect the colours of the sky. Thank you for your dedication to us, putting out these wonderful tutorials week after week. I've learned so much from you, already, and every week I seem to learn something new. You are GREATLY appreciated!!!😊

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thank you so much 😀 Amy. Its so nice to let my painting muscles run wild ( run wild? ) maybe a bit melodramatic. I'll be working on the next painting later today. Have a great week 😃😎

[@CandidClara]

I honestly learn more in half of one of your videos than I learned in two years of GCSE art and they are so calming!

[@PaulRansonArt]

Hi Clara 🤗- and I didn't even get to do GCSE art! Pleased you enjoyed my moment of calm. 😃🥰😎

[@SRTW67]

Hi Paul! So very beautiful, this collection of three Bob Ross classics! I love the colors so much, I can’t decide which name for it that I thought of that is my favorite.. Amethyst Falls? Enchanted Twilight? It’s so mystical to me. I’m so glad you painted this with your own touch. I’ve always loved your sparkles in your water and little touches that make your paintings pop! I love the sun very much. How it dances behind the pine! Thank you for such a wonderful tutorial that I think I could try- as soon as my new black gesso arrives.. have a great week, art hugs to you! ✨🤗🖌️🎨😃✨

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thank you so much Stephanie. Two great titles as well. My favourite being Amethyst Falls. My other half has a huge collection of gemstones so this is very apt. Give this a try on any size canvas. I think it would work well scaled down just as well. Love the play of sunlight behind the trees. Its one of my favourite touches! A new painting idea is in the pot for later. But first a sketching trip to Petworth. Hope the weather holds off 😃😎

[@kennethmurphy8585]

This piece is brilliant and might be my new fave.

[@PaulRansonArt]

Hi Kenneth - its a delightful scene and I loved painting it. Maybe give it a go yourself - Paul 😃😎

[@petersymons2007]

Amazing picture - thanks Paul.

[@PaulRansonArt]

Glad you enjoyed it Peter. Nice to mix things up a bit. Its given me a few more ideas for future paintings. p.s. Happy New Year - Paul

[@BCBonsler]

Your tutorial videos are very much appreciated. Thank you Paul. Your artsy friend. Cheryl

[@PaulRansonArt]

Hi Cheryl - oh wow thank you for this on top of your coffee cup support. Its truly appreciated and means a lot to me. New painting in the mix so fingers crossed for this Sunday 😃😎 - Big artr hugs Paul 😘😘😍😎

[@SRTW67]

Oops, forgot to mention, your different camera angles really helped a lot to see how far down your trees are. Thank you!

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thank you Stephanie. I thought it might help to see the underpainting a little better. This was a tricky painting to film 😃😍😎

[@ulrikemuller74]

Thanks for this beauty Paul. I am inspired 😊.

[@PaulRansonArt]

You are very welcome Uli. This gives us a lot of scope for adapting and making Bob's vision truly one we can make our own. Plus it gets us thinking about how the world looks at a different time of year. Have a great week 😃😎

[@PaintingWithYovette]

Very original and creative Paul. Love it! 🌹

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thanks so much Yovette. Its hopefully one of a few I'll be trying this year. Big art hugs as always 😃

[@keneit]

Beautiful as always, Paul! 😊 And I really liked the introduction scene 😂

[@PaulRansonArt]

haha thanks for liking my silly intro's. I get these ideas and the next thing I'm trying to film it. Goodness knows what I would do if I had the time and the skill to do something better. I'll ring my pal George Lucas and see if he has any ideas! Happy painting - Paul 😃😎

[@robinruby3156]

How funny, Paul! Mrs. Angel has been calling me Angel since we met 24 years ago! Now here’s the wonderful part. Because you have brought me much joy, and you have acknowledged her in a few posts, she’s decided to pick up a brush or three to attempt painting side by side with (you guessed it) Paul Ranson as our guide. I’ve sent your channel her way. Let’s see if she decides it’s better than baking chocolate chip cookies for the neighbors! You’ve actually transformed my somewhat difficult life into a very livable place to be. That may seem an overstatement, but to us, it’s the simple truth.

[@PaulRansonArt]

Oh wow another new beginner. Hi to Mrs A and lets see what she can cook up. No better way to paint than with a nice cuppa tea and a cookie. Delighted to hear your world is a little brighter with some art. Its a therapy I've enjoyed for may years. 😃😎

[@robinruby3156]

Well, my friend, I gave this mashup painting the old school try. Typically I would have said ‘Oh, [major expletive] I’ve botched it” But that’s just not true. In the vid, you said “If you have a little feature there you want to keep, leave it in.” LOL as it turns out, the “feature” is the entire painting!! Well, one man’s botch is another man’s masterpiece!

[@PaulRansonArt]

🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣 Oh thats just too funny Robin. It reminds me of a craft show Terri and I did years ago. We carefully selected and framed our very best work and put it on display. At the last moment I packed a box of 'also ran' paintings - basically stuff that didn't make the cut. Come the day of the show it was like a swarm of bee's around our paintings. Not the stuff we selected but the box of odds and ends. We sold them all and took our favourites home. So one mans botch realy was another mans masterpiece. Well done for starting off your box of future sellers. BTW these first paintings are probably the most important one you'll paint. They are the bench mark by which you'll measure your progress. So when you're have a bit of a day of it with a painting ( yes you'll have one or two ) Go to your box of 'not quite good enoughs' and see where you started. It puts things into perspective - Paul 😃😃😎😎@@robinruby3156

Orange cream dream

Sounds like a delicious cookie I once ate. If not then it should be! Paul 😃🥰😎

[@Angel-kc1cr]

Hi Paul, what a creative idea for such a wonderful painting. Beautiful colors and a pastel touch make this oil painting really beautiful and calming. They give her an indescribable note of peace. The scenery is really lovely and it looks like a charming little place to walk around. If I heard correctly, you asked her what to call her? Why not Paul waterfall or Creative mix? THAT is unfortunately the best name ideas I have. This way of painting introduced me to Buck Pauson's video Pushing for home. Look, if you haven't, the story behind that picture is similar to this one. By the way, thank you for all the wonderful advice and for the wonderful series, I look forward to a new episode every week. As always, enjoy your week, have a nice rest of the day/night and happy painting.😁🖕

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thank you Angel - That was a very interesting video by Buck. I've been looking through my list of 'must do' paintings and a big dramatic sky scene is near the top of my list. Maybe I'll use the green instead of my light grey for the primer! I'm doing a sketching trip this afternoon so hopefully some big sky's will be on show! Have a great week too 😃😎😍

[@LollyGaggler]

Sunrise at Trifecta Falls.... 3 paintings in 1... 😊

[@PaulRansonArt]

Yes, nice idea for a title 😃😍😎

Sunlit winter falls.

[@PaulRansonArt]

Great idea - 😃😎

[@robinruby3156]

This is so beautiful! Thank you again Paul! I really can’t wait to try this one! I do have a question about sponges. Try as I might I cannot seem to fashion an ordinary sponge out of materials I’ve got on hand. Is it ok to just buy the textured sponges or are you doing something to them I need to know? That said, can you recommend a prefab sponge that I can buy? I’m thinking part of the problem with using the sponge method is my rather heavy handed approach. Plus I seem to pull the sponge rather than simply tap. Could that be the culprit? Cheers!!

[@PaulRansonArt]

Hi Robin I use a cheap synthetic car sponge. So nothing special. I cut it into small cubes and give one face a bit of a texturing. I simply take a pair of pliers and create a few ragged holes. That's it nothing special. Don't spend a load of money on natural sponges. They fall to bits too easily. Just start out with a little gesso to plan the painting first.Hope this helps😅

[@sylvia2553]

Paul you had me at the under painting lol I just love the underpainting it s such a help to a beginner like myself and its good to know even an artist of your calibre has a happy accident as B.R would say 😂 title well ? Parma falls ? 🐈🐈‍⬛🐕

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thank you Sylvia - yes, I got the good feelings with the underpainting. Of course Bob had already done the hard work so I just followed the bread crumbs. Yes, the inevitable pickle is never far away. Luckily I've become quite the Houdini with my paintings. Love the Parma Falls idea. Thats ham isn't it? Very apt for my cooking idea 😃😍😎

[@sylvia2553]

@@PaulRansonArt lol not Ham thinking more of Parma violet sweets I used to love as a kid(showing my age now ) lol I am at this very moment applying the black gesso, so getting back to it and looking forward already to next Sunday 🐈🐈‍⬛🐕

[@robinruby3156]

Oh sorry I would call this painting “The Impossible Dream”. That is to say if I end up botching the thing which is pretty likely! LOL!

[@PaulRansonArt]

Now, now Robin! Lets not beat our selves before we start. Ask Mrs Angel Glow - you know who I mean 😃😎

[@toritrashe6103]

Hi Paul, do you decide the 3 colours or just the images

[@PaulRansonArt]

Hi Tori - its a combination of all three. I likes the colours of one, the subject of the other and the season of the third. Lifes never simple - Try repainting a Bob Ross classic in a different season. Switch a winter scene into a summer one. Its a fun and gets you thinking about how the worls around us changes through the year 😃😎
