My First Time Following a Bob Ross Painting Tutorial

[@travisbuschette8609]

Bob would be so proud of this painting! That is a majestic mountain if I've ever seen one! His method uses very specific supplies, so yes, I would recommend trying those if you do it again. Look up his one-hour instructional video which goes more in-depth on the materials he uses and he slows down the process for home viewers.

[@aidaAT]

It's absolutely stunning! I have done a few and have them hanging around the house. I even did one with the family where everyone had a canvas and followed the same tutorial and it was so interesting to see how different the paintings were from each other! We did pause it after every single step because Bob was FASTTTTT!!

[@user-no2mz9hl4f]

Wow, I love that idea! It’d make for a really fun family activity.

[@Hey_Jamie]

You’ll be happy to know, often Bob had a baby squirrel in his pocket while filming. His name was Peapod 🥰 He sometimes would take him out on camera to say hello or feed him.

[@AzureHart]

Bob Ross was such a treasure. I never tried to follow his painting tutorials when they originally aired because there was no way to pause or rewind them back then. It would have driven me mad trying to keep up. You did a great job!

[@Frankenzebra]

I don't think I'd realised that before when I've watched episodes but watching Jamie struggle just realised that very few people would have had a VHS recorder when it was being aired. Major props to anyone who did follow along live!

[@evelyneca7454]

I would love to see you do more of this! You nailed that mountain! Looks stunning! It's so scary how he starts it with just a blob of black or dark blue but then it all comes together in the end. (I think you're totally allowed to pause him btw)

[@erikagholston6610]

There is no way I could do that without pausing. Your painting looks great.

[@markusstorzer4545]

you did wonderful!!! I feel bad it gave you anxiety but so proud of you working through it!!! ...if you do another, yes, do pause, it's not cheating to do that :)

[@linzertube]

I’ve never tried a Bob Ross painting tutorial before. But, everyone I’ve watched (including you, now) is flabberghasted by his ability to lay out paint in the most magical manner. I love Bob Ross and watched his shows while growing up. It was awesome and hilarious, Jamie Jo, watching you master parts of his techniques (your mountains are realistic and incredible!) while losing it at the speed at which the show moves (it’s impossible to follow without pause and rewind). I don’t know how anyone was able to follow along back in the day. You did amazing, which says something of your own skills. Your painting is lovely and truly unmistakeable as “Bob Ross-style”. Loved this video!❤

[@brandonlangdon2358]

You did wonderfully, I always felt the same. Btw the painting he did for the recording was the second one, he would paint a first painting to establish his process and then do it again for the camera.

[@okairo-9658]

It would be fun to see you follow one along with Tom! but like, a simple edition were no one is particularly stressed and everyone is just ha ving a chill art time

[@FeelingCrossToday]

!!! The way you added the snow to the mountain with just a few knifestrokes, and it looks stunning and realistic, just wonderful!

[@rachelb1119]

I love how your style comes through even when you’re following a tutorial. Lovely!

[@KEC87]

😂 roller coaster of emotions from the world's most calming man next to Mr. Rogers. It's lovely, Jamie. Bob would have loved it.

[@hollyhansen8428]

Bob Ross was one of the best things about my childhood. I even had his paint set and used it to make several muddy happy little landscapes. He’s an amazing human being. Your painting came out very nice and your mountain was especially lovely!

[@Fancylooks]

Oh, those mountains are perfection!

[@Krista_Rose7]

Anyone who did these back in the day definitely must have recorded them on VHS and paused/rewound as needed! Recording things to VHS was VERY common in the 80's-90's when these were originally aired.

[@LisEibh]

I love the chaos, and the painting turned out great! The snowy mountain effect from the knife is mind-blowing 😂

[@engletinaknickerbocker5380]

My husband and watched the program religiously in the original series as well as reruns, never to learn to make art but for the sheer joy of watching someone make art.

[@Animalconferece]

Bob Ross has such a way about him that is so calming but so chaotic at the same time. I think you did such a good job! It’s so hard to keep track and watch what he’s doing when you’re so focused on what’s happening on your own canvas haha

[@hamerthyme7810]

I think a lot of the speed comes from using Bob's tools. I did a course once after already trying to paint like him and the flat knife and hard oils and liquid gesso at the course made such a big change in blending and sculpting. You did really well with what you have

[@signsandwonders4343]

You’re hilarious! That painting is beautiful. Great job!…and thanks for making me laugh today!!!

[@sariskysong]

I'm cackling through this entire thing. Bob is such a speedy painter! I've been meaning to do one but haven't gotten up the courage because of that. Yours is amazing. :)

[@thetruthhurts599]

Jamie, this is such a beautiful painting! Please think about doing a Thomas Kinkade painting.

[@lotusflowerpassion]

aww Kool ya Bob Ross did magic on canvas and so fast loved watching him , did incorporate some of the things in taught in some of my paintings years ago . Thanks for sharing your painting looks great .💖

[@RashaSmiles]

6:12 "I dont want to be brave, no!" is me every day. You did great! I really love your painting style (with anime and all) and I wish to paint like you one day

[@kimberlygraef]

This turned out lovely! I'd love to see you do more of these 😊

[@Slc_photoartist]

Could feel the chaos and panic of following.great painting ❤😊

[@LylaMoonbell]

I think this is the most stressful Bob Ross tutorial video I've seen 🤣 It turned out lovely though!

[@chocolatara]

I loved this so much! Your painting turned out beautifully. And took me back to my childhood being mesmerized by Bob Ross on PBS 😅 I’d watch more of these anytime!

[@victorialorene]

Wonderful as usual! It was neat to see your take on bob ross's tutorial.

[@donaldhoudek2889]

Beautiful!! You are encountering the same thing that I encounter with video's that I watch and try... I keep falling behind. Thank goodness for pause pause pause and back up. Great Video

[@Allmystuff100]

YOU ARE SO DAMN CUTE !!! YOU MADE ME LAUGH THE WHOLE TIME. I am an artist myself and I refuse to follow Bob Ross videos for this reason right here. I enjoyed you so much really.

[@cathymcdonald1285]

Totally agree, she's adorable. Tickled me to watch😂 And her painting was beautiful!

[@rachelbarrett4285]

Jamie, you can pause and rewind and pause again. You have all the control! 😆

[@saramoukrime6713]

So beautiful! You did a great job, Bob would be proud!

[@meba444]

1) it looks amazing! 2) love how the vibe of this video was the opposite of the vibe of a Bob Ross video 😂

[@Prettygirlcn5]

You nailed that challenge!🤩💙💚🤍🤎

[@williamgreen4573]

Turned out wonderful, Jamie!

[@shaunadewey2862]

You did great! Beautiful painting.

[@BeckikiCreates]

You did a wonderful job Jamie!! It is really hard to follow him even when the videi is slowed down😅 It still baffles me how people would use to paint along with him with just a tv years ago. (I bet a lot of them recorded the program on a vhs tape) but this is very beautiful painting none the less 😊

[@saraH-yu1mx]

This is how I feel when I watch painting tutorials Lol. I feel better about it now.

[@kennethhaack5033]

In spite of him moving along quickly you did very well

[@nightshadegiggle]

Nice art painting 🙂

[@xangie8204]

It came out lovely! I love your commentary lol 😂

[@_.georgia._]

"I don't wanna be brave!" I say the same thing every morning I wake up

[@Songal18]

It is still stunning. Hope you got some much needed relaxing time.

[@thetree6266]

I feel so validated 😅

[@miroux1111]

This is stunning!

[@melschroeds]

Your painting turned out amazing! I love it. And your commentary had me cracking up!

[@HeylasASMR]

Fun fact Bob Ross did three paintings total for every episode before his final painting in his episodes ❤️

[@rocketmanart7964]

This is amazing

[@maggieaudley9929]

Pause… you are ALWAYS allowed to pause the video! 🤣🤣🤣

[@LesMisPhantom1]

This was chaos but the painting is beautiful! He would be proud! ❤

[@totalH20]

Awww you really came out of your shell in this video, I saw a side of you I haven't seen before and it seemed like you had fun giving it a go!

[@MermaidiaDreams4Ever]

I love your Dorky Ever After T-shirt! It's so lovely :D

[@hthharrison7764]

It's good! Very good!

[@laineydunlap9757]

It's so lovely though! Following tutorials of any kind is nightmarish! You did well. I love that you called yourself a Tinker, that feels very right. Will you add characters to your painting? Or shall it stay--as a portal? Love your tee!

[@lindseyussery9639]

I haven't finished watching it yet, but I can tell you I noticed a few things: you need a bigger brush. Also, you need a long-handled brush, and you need to hold the brush farther back on the handle. At first, you'll feel like you have no control, but then you'll gain all of the control. Girl, your painting is beautiful. Oil painting landscapes is just a different experience.

[@arielleB789]

It looks SOOOOO GOOD😍😍🎊🥳🎉

[@podoke]

the mountain is so good:0 no mater how many times i see that knife technique with the snow, it always feels like magic also i feel like your process of painting is basically on the other end of the spectrum to bob ross's so i was kinda expecting the panic hahaha i wonder what it would look like if you repainted this using his final image as a reference but using your usual order of operations/techniques

[@karenthomas2302]

Turned out beautiful, tfs ❤

[@longpicklebean]

My first paintings were Bob Ross types 😂 I loved him

[@jilliandreams]

Yayy! It looks great!! 👏 5:05

[@rickjr111589]

I think you did a wonderful job!!!

[@rachel.doremi6974]

OMG, JAMIE!!! SAME 😭😭😭

[@madchild4303]

damn that's incredible like your skills are just amazing x

[@lovlilayla]

that looks amazing wow, you made it look so easy even with it being so chaotic but i know mine would be absolutely trash if i tried

[@introvertedcorpse]

I was hoping this video would happen!!!

[@shinyrayasmr]

You are so talented💖

[@danaparsonsliquidcosmosart2669]

We don't mind you pausing !!! Take your time!

[@artistaladesen]

love your art💖

[@IDrawToothpicks]

Damn I would LIVE THERE

[@bryonyapril8538]

I loved this video! You should do this with Tom next time :) also your earrings are so cute

[@jensu1983]

lol.... Thank you for making me laugh so hard, I needed that. Your painting looks amazing even though it looked like your were hyperventilating at on point :) Remember you are a very Talented Artist you can do anything!

[@chezamau]

hahaha this was so much fun to watch ^^

[@user-no2mz9hl4f]

I love your earrings!

[@Frankenzebra]

Now I think about it, the baffling thing with when Bob Ross was on TV, it was probably not super common for households to have a VHS recorder, so people who did paint along would have to do it without pausing the episode?!

[@StampingWithIan]

You are allowed to pause... 😀💜

[@seeyou414]

Nice job ❤❤

[@KiraLyricalMuse]

Not gonna lie, this is how I felt trying to make your cookie cushions years ago.

[@Kitty_Sakura]

Ooh it's pretty. If I ever try a bob Ross tutorial I'll have to pause so much and skip the crooked tree

[@learnartwithme3766]

Remember this was on when there was no pause button.

[@cathy6656]

please try again with pausing 😂 its allowed i swear, and so much more relaxing

[@sofiaottoman]

💕💕💕💕💕

[@alphaastro3068]

Loved the painting but u forgot to add stones in the river

[@modkip25]

Just pause the video 😂 it's not a damn speed run lmao

[@Twentynyne]

this is absolutely so heccin cute seeing you freak out im so sorry

[@matthewwhite8882]

Lol, your followers were just not going to let you sleep until you finally did a Bob Ross tutorial 🤪

[@Ocrilat]

If you're getting anxious you're probably doing it wrong. There is no right way...Bob Ross keeps saying, it's your painting, and you make it your way. There are no mistakes, just happy accidents.

[@luce_berries]

why would you not be allowed to pause the video TT

[@jilliandreams]

4:10 😅 You can most definitely PAUSE! And your paintbrush is way too small for his techniques. And lastly, you’re learning a brand new technique and skill! Be kind to yourself and let Bob lead the way. ❤😊

[@Nadine56924]

Are you eating disoder recovery?❤

[@MeldaRavaniel]

She addressed this elsewhere, she's dealing with an immune disorder.

[@Nadine56924]

@@MeldaRavaniel ah ok thank you

[@Anouk95NL]

Please don't start hyperventilating over a painting you're doing for fun

[@krose6451]

Im sorry this brought you so much stress 😢
