I Forced Artists To Follow A Bob Ross Tutorial

[@bluesapphire170]

To be fair, even for someone who draws traditionally, bob ross worked ridiculously fast. I’d say you guys did really well despite the limitations, People tend to forget it’s actually easier to blend colours traditionally without switching tools.

[@christophhofland8890]

Yeah, Bob was a master of his style before he ever got his show, and even then he repeated paintings multiple times before his filmed take. I would also say he has a innate talent in understanding 3d space. that's what your struggling against if you try to follow him with traditional methods, with his medium and colors. Digital it really is a whole different ball game. I do watercolors and digital but I cant do both on the same day or my head starts to ache because they are just so different.

[@Aerowind]

To be fair, the method itself is also super fast. It's not really analogous to normal drawing/painting. You can learn how to paint like Bob Ross a lot more easily than more traditional methods.

[@taqresu5865]

It also depends on the medium of paint and canvas. For example, I've used mediums like watercolor, acrylic, and egg tempra. Sll of which have different properties and techniques. Apparently Bob Ross uses oil paint, a medium I don't have experience in.

[@maxmustermann-zx9yq]

he's not working fast so the audience can follow, but physical painting is way faster then digital cause you can easily create multiple complex lines/textures by using different stroke techniques, how much paint you use, blending, amount of paint, using something else then a brush (like a sponge)

[@AwwesomeVal]

It's cuz he paints it 4 times before he goes live to ensure he can do it in the TV time slot. This is time number 5 in a row of doing the painting for Bob Ross.

[@petermatis6083]

Let's be honest, Bob would be proud of all of them.

[@fernandotrevinocastro1018]

Bob didn't want people to become painters, or sell our paintings, or show them somewhere, or be good, or even do better. He just wanted us painting. So yes, he's proud.

[@retorotaku]

My Mum can’t watch a Bob Ross tutorial because she can’t handle it when he adds massive splodges everywhere, she keeps thinking he’s going to ruin the paining XD

[@wild.berryz]

my mom says things like that when i draw i’ll circle things to explain the piece or try doing effects while she watches i draw digitally so i just press undo or draw on a different layer but it stresses her out no matter how many times i explain

[@Hype_Incarnate]

Your mom is twitch chat. The amount of times I've seen "RUINED!" and "saved" 😂

[@TwistedSynn]

then he turns that splodge of paint into something Amazing, it's why I love watching him, no mistakes just happy little accidents, you can splash random paint on his canvas and he'll turn it into something. Making it look like it's meant to be there.

[@maazuponvelocity]

I hate that kinda line of thought

[@SeohnAranys]

​@@Hype_Incarnate Its because those people have not reached the enlightenment levels where they understand that the only mistake in life, is when one gives up or learns nothing from it. What's sad is some never realize they are questioning a painter as if he did something wrong, a painter I might add, that literally teaches the very concept of embracing perceived mistakes and turning them into something better. This is why you ignore hypocrites or people who have no idea what they are talking about, and who don't listen to experts. An expert is an expert for a reason and if you tell them they made a mistake only to be proven wrong later, it is because you aren't the expert and don't know as much about it as you believe yourself to know, or simply never explored the idea. When that happens, that's when its best to speak less and listen more. You might be good at something, but apparently, there's room for you to grow if you can't recover from a perceived mistake or make it in to something even better.

[@peachenelle]

Bob Ross being a calm, tranquil source of edutainment, and then this video having me on the edge of my seat can't look away while the artists are all trying to keep up 😭 You all did amazing, it is truly a chaotic feat to accomplish.

[@perrymeril]

Did you know he was once a drill sergeant?

[@71tofu]

I think the advice with Bob's tutorial is "Watch it over and over, pause it whenever you need, and then watch the parts you need help with again." This is the kind of guy who would smile after you succeed, give you a pat on the shoulder if it's not the same as his and call it beautiful because he just wants you to improve and get better and enjoy the process of making art. This is just something he did as a hobby because he loves it, and he wants people to love it too. Every canvas painted is a success, and I know even now he'd be the first person to agree with that. Just sitting down to paint something is a success. Dude is the definition of a wholesome man trying to let others experience his hobby.

[@Bubbly_Dragon]

In fact, he would praise you if it didn't look the same as his, since that was one of his big points he liked to talk about on his show! Each episode is there to give you an idea of what to do and how to do it, and you're supposed to use that to create whatever you want to make, regardless of how close it is to his example!

[@nicolaspeigne1429]

What always amazes me about Bob Ross painting technique is how quickly and out of nowhere things just appear on the canvas. And then 2 seconds later and it looks twice as good already

[@fatkidwithfudge]

It's a big single colored blob at 1st. You blink and that blob is now 3 detailed mountains and a goat.

[@zoey2262]

a good way to get this fast is to time yourself, give yourself like 5-20 minutes per drawing or painting. i think a lot of digital artists focus too much about things being perfect, when the best pieces of art have many flaws, they just work with it

Shows the importance of the right equipment and optimization! He's got all his paints picked, all the brushes and knives out, and clear space for mixing colors. He's only fast because he's efficient 😁

[@Rathdrgnknight]

[@brandonsteele2826]

And Bob Ross would also do each painting three times, so you might be seeing his third take after he's got it down.

[@omargoodman2999]

It would be possible to make a painting that resembles Bob's style on a digital medium just as fast, if not *faster.* *BUT...* and that's a big but, I cannot lie, it would require an _entirely_ different set of techniques to pull it off. You wouldn't try to copy Bob's technique, because those were developed to take advantage of the physical properties of wet and semi-wet paint on a canvas. Rather, you'd need to put together techniques that take advantage of the digital tools available in the program you use. Things like exploiting the properties of blending, stretching and distortion, and various effects that can take advantage of the nature of how pictures are displayed on a monitor using really only three colors.

[@LadyCrest]

personally i think its easier to do traditional because you dont have all those settings for the brushes and all, just a swipe of a brush and u alr have a mixed colour (but there are cons and pros for both )

[@MacDaniboi]

What I love most about this is that despite them following the same tutorial and trying to mimic the original, none of them look the same and they all have their own individual style to them.

Allegedly, before each video, bob ross would do 3 or 4 warm up paintings. By the time he did the show... he was just cruising through those strokes.

[@SwiKeyMTC]

You are sort of correct, he would do one as practice then he'd do the second one for the video, but then after that he would do a third one, simply to give away.

Be aware that Bob used to often do at least THREE of each individual painting--one pre-show to make sure he could do it within 20 minutes to fit the format of the show, one on camera, and one afterward that he would be more careful with if the first two didn't turn out, for glamour shots used in stills at the beginning and end of the show. And this was after he'd done 10,000+ similar natural landscape paintings over his career in the wet-on-wet style. He was super skilled and super fast and made it seem natural, but that was only after he practiced and worked like crazy to get that good. No one should feel bad for not keeping up with him who doesn't have similar experience to him.

Not so much. Not a whole lot of people using oil paints who are unfamiliar with the technique that Bob Ross used are able to keep up with him.

He had a _lot_ of practice using that specific technique.

[@milleniumadam8643]

its quite hard to replicate the accidents that you can do with physical tools like the textured scraping as something digital without preparing the digital brush for it. And if its wrong, you can make the slightest changes physically very fast only if you continue adding little by little. With oil paint its hard to remove what you add. so if you mess up, your entire canvas is gone. But digitally you can mess it up and then delete layers.

[@RePorpoised]

Yeah, bob ross is about leaning into any imperfections to make something in one go. Digital struggles with that, your tools don’t offer the same level of granular control, but as you said, give infinite ability to correct mistakes.

[@crossanddream2]

This brings back memories of when my art teacher in middle, she would sometimes have these days where we could do "whatever" we wanted. We could work on assignments/past art protects we haven't finished yet, work on other class work, draw, or we could watch the bob ross video she would put on and hand out these worksheets where we were supposed to write down any "art terms" we heard. I remember never doing one, sometimes i would "participate" just so i could watch what bob ross was doing. And the art teacher didn't care, I don't remember any of the other students ever actually doing the worksheets. And I remember there would be times where I just decided I would just draw though would easily get distracted by hearing bob ross talk in the background and give up on whatever I was doing. Just to watch. And I am someone who had ADHD so there weren't really anything that could could me to sit still or hold my attention for more than a few seconds (besides drawing, though I do get distracted), these were the only times where something had my full undivided attention and I didn't fidget once. It could be from the fast pace he was going or it was actually just something I got so fixated on and nothing would distract me Those were some of my favorite times within art class, just being able to sit and watch that video of him creating a master piece.

Something I didn't realize watching Bob Ross' videos as a child is how the core of his wet-on-wet technique actually works.

A lot of my artist friends say the same thing: Bob teaches you how to paint from the ground up. Literally anyone can do this. [Convincing people to try? That's the hard part!] The guys doing the digital versions do really good jobs- it's probably the medium, as other people have said. A lot of the texture his painting gets is from the palette knives and his brushes- duplicating that by hand, big shout out to those artists! Each of them gets their own unique piece, and that's what Bob tries to teach. It's yours, made with soul [ and okay stress!] not a copycat of his. Most people don't know but Bob painted three versions of each picture: one for the how-too books, one to practice and one live on Tv. So he has a leg up on these guys, he's done this before. :P

[@joligamerpro2184]

Oo well would you look at them, such a little artist we got here, love all those paintings, all with their different styles, methods. Such great art❤

[@dddoodles]

What kind of FOOL even attempts to use layers while following bob. This video was great!

[@Ammothief41]

til bob ross is an absolute monster of a painter.

[@webkarma9654]

Monitor’s painting style in this video reminds me greatly of my Dad’s drawing style, very sketch-like

[@camandoh]

hey i was in this

[@luisB_OG]

Your painting was sick! 💪💪🔥🤔

[@淡い炎]

Years back when streaming wasn't mainstream, me and my mates used to whip out a Bob Ross video for shits and laughs to cap off our MH4U multi streams, only to end up confused every single time on how fucking fast and impressively precise he works. We STILL are amazed at his videos today. LUL

[@DXDragon38]

This was actually incredible! Some great works you guys put out!

[@JunkPhubeta]

Despite the stress you guys went through, you guys did a great job. I would totally watch a series of you guys just painting with Bob Ross.

[@aaronrattley8580]

This is the most stressful anything Bob Ross related have ever been, dear lord 😭

[@Bundalaba]

Proof he makes it LOOK easy . Truly a master during his time .

[@TheVergile]

bob ross is the kind of guy that gives a calm, relaxing talk about safety and taking your time while barelling down the highway at three times the speed limit

[@Sarril101]

One word, three letters - art. Really nice vid, I quite liked all of the drawings that came out of this and they were made so freaking quickly, well done everyone ^^

[@nuyabuisness7526]

Bob Ross specifically practiced a wet on wet painting technique made for quick painting and blending effects. IIRC he practiced on his lunch breaks and being able to bang out a painting in 30 minutes became his standard.

[@patrickmurray3846]

I loved watching Bob Ross as a kid, seeing how he completes all his paintings in less then 30min. Pretty sure any of his paintings today would be worth a good amount.

[@mrcteddy20]

Not only is he efficient and has practiced doing painting thousands of times, he also has to do the painting in the 30 minutes given for each episode so that's why he can seem to be going fast.

[@eleventy7]

Yeah, it feels the speed painting was more out of necessity due to the show's time constraints. A few times he would say how he wished he could do hour long shows. With video tapes being a recent thing, at the time, it was probably hoped that people would record, replay, and follow along with episodes at a pace that was comfortable for them.

[@christopherjaya342]

When digital medium is used to approximate the traditional methods... Props to the artists who did that in one take!

[@invaderzam]

It goes against everything he believed in but I would watch the sh*t out of competitive Bob Ross painting.

[@FFXI_Addict]

MS Paint one is no lie my favorite. It's genuinely provocative in a lot of good ways.
