Paint like Bob Ross Moonlight Seascape Part 2

[@watercolorswithmary5794]

wow Paul! this painting tutorial is awesome! love the way the moonlight goes through the wave... gorgeous painting! thank you for sharing 🥰

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thank you so much 😀Mary. I've enjoyed playing with seascapes and think I'll paint a few more. Maybe working from a photograph would be a good subject. Been watching your videos too. Love the light loose style and sooo different from oils. Keep up the good work. 🤓

[@stephenself8193]

You’re the best instructor I’ve ever watched! Thank you

[@PaulRansonArt]

Wow, thank you! There are lots of great teachers that taught me along the way so I can't take all the credit. But its nice to be recognised for the work I put into my tutorials - 😎 Happy Painting Stephen - Paul 😀

[@LordjiesArt]

Stunning art work. Great details friend 👍👍👍

[@PaulRansonArt]

Many many thanks once again. 🎨

[@playmin]

The sea expression of the waves at night is so cool. It was so much fun watching the progress.💯💝💖💗💓👍👍

[@PaulRansonArt]

Glad you enjoyed it. Seascapes are a favourite of mine. I'll paint some more soon. Just watched Brad Pitt - stunning drawing skills ! 😍😜

[@DwayneHamiltonArtist]

Really appreciate your instructions absolutely stunning painting

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thanks so much 😊Dwayne. I'm going to be doing regular videos so I hope you find others that are helpful.

[@Metalgods74]

This is so inspiring.

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thank you SoO. Seascapes are a passion of mine. In fact my next video is a challenge so lets see how I get on 😎😎

[@DanilaAbramenkovArt]

Hey Paul) nice result. The highlights on the wave shown well ))

[@PaulRansonArt]

Hey Dan there. Thanks for stopping by and having a watch and commenting. I've watched a few of your recent videos and find them inspiring. The latest seascape is my cup of tea. Look forward to the next one.

[@DanilaAbramenkovArt]

@@PaulRansonArt thanks Paul

[@LollyGaggler]

I have been watching many seascape lessons...your is hands-down the best! Thank you 😊

[@PaulRansonArt]

Wow, thank you! I'm working on another seascape right now! I just took a tea break to catch up and say 'hi' - back to work now 😍

[@angelamurphy9472]

At last! Someone that can carry on the way Bob taught! Best explanation of seascape instruction yet! Thanks 😊

[@PaulRansonArt]

Wow, thanks Angela 🤗. I think it was watching Bob pulling reflections on a beach that got me started and down the road as a Certified Ross Instructor. And here I am some 20+ years later reteaching some of his techniques. They still look good and I'm pleased you enjoyed my video. I'll be doing more classic Bob paintings with a new one due this Wednesday.

[@tonismith824]

Love it and the step by step directions. Great for a first timer at sea scapes.

[@PaulRansonArt]

Glad it was helpful Toni. I worked hard to master seascapes and hope to film some more soon. 😊

[@srm8866]

Fantastic ! This is exactly what I needed to wind-down and relax after a hard night of the graveyard shift. Watching you (and Bob Ross) paint has inspired me to invest in some painting supplies and give it a whirl myself. Hopefully, after some practice, I'll be able to paint something just half this nice. I think this could easily become a lifetime hobby. Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing your vault of knowledge and skill.

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thank you so much for your enthusiastic comments. But time for a warning - painting is adictive. Once you see the world through an artists eyes there's no going back, thankfully 🙂 Enjoy the journey. Its successes, stumbles and sometimes disasters. But always have fun. Laugh often. I usually do principally as myself. Keep in touch and hopefully I and other tutors will inspire you in the future 😎- Paul

[@PaintingWithYovette]

Gorgeous Paul, thank you!

[@PaulRansonArt]

Glad you enjoyed it Yovette. -Today I'm painting the FB challenge 'Shades of Grey'. Wish me luck! 😀

[@PaintingWithYovette]

@@PaulRansonArt Wishing you bunched of luck Paul! 🌷

[@ladecaduta]

amazing, the shining glassy shore is fantastic...I'll try tomorrow, If I make a bit of a mess I'll try to keep my temper under control, Thanks so much for the lovely tutorial ! Buona serata

[@PaulRansonArt]

Yes a cool head is whats needed. Just relax and have fun - its only a painting you can do again. Not all mine go as expected so its all learning OK - Paul 😃Caio😃

[@julianacarney]

I ordered my first Bob Ross Kit and can't wait to start learning with Oils. Your tutorials are very nice, love the way how your voice is so nice soft & smooth and can watch these tutorials over & over again. Thank you.

[@PaulRansonArt]

Awesome! Thank you Juliana. Sending you all my best wishes for your new art experience.🤗🤗 Let me know how you get on. I'd love to see what you paint 😀😀

[@artbybadi9716]

Awesome painting 👍👏🌸

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thank you so much 😀I hope you'll enjoy the next videos too. There's a new one this afternoon! 🎨

[@zhannakryukova8676]

Great!!! 👍

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thank you! Cheers!😃😎😍

[@lillipinc]

Beautiful, you make it look so easy

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thank you! Cheers! Its all a matter of practice. Just be sure to get the basic shape right and your seascapes will turn out great. I show you the shape I like to use in every one of my seascape tutorials 😍😎

[@karlajohnson3147]

So beautiful.....so happy I stumbled onto you!

[@PaulRansonArt]

Welcome!! Another Bob Ross happy accident 🤗 Stay tuned for part 2 of Shades of Grey this weekend.

[@tezoodle]

I haven't felt so relaxed and entertained while I learned how to do this, since I watched Bob Ross. Your Moonlight Seascape is beyond awesome Paul, it's so beautiful and serene. I love how you have kept the colours muted and the edges darkened - it's so atmospheric! Well done, this is fabulous work, and a joy to watch you play with the oil paints and colours. Flying eyebrows 🤣 - thank you 👏😍

[@PaulRansonArt]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😍

[@AnimalArtbyTerraCotta]

A couple months ago I tried to paint a great wave with horses erupting out of it! Colors were good the wave was pinched so gessoed the wave good bye. Really appreciate your instructions on spacing the waves and heights, and even the areas for the darkest colors! Great share 🥰🥰🥰

[@PaulRansonArt]

Hi Cheryl - Running out of room is a headache for most artists. Even the old masters would paint several trial paintings, adding and removing elements that did not work. When painting originals I often do a 5 min pencil sketch that catches some of the challenges before I invest a ton of time on a painting that becomes a fire lighter. If I can get better at photoshop I'd probably use that for quick layouts in future. Its on the list with a million other things ha! 😜

[@AnimalArtbyTerraCotta]

@@PaulRansonArt I can certainly say that a quick thumbnail sketch has saved me time, and I always use a coloring app and just whip sketch with the digital brush and then throw some quick colors behind to test out the best complementary background. Takes just a few min ... and yeah, I should learn photoshop. I bumble at best in it. The digital sketch is a zip and so I just don't myself to explore PS too much. Ha, is right! 😋

[@PaulRansonArt]

I've got an tablet sitting in a box gathering dust so what app do you use Cheryl? Maybe a future how to video on the process you go through. 🎨

[@AnimalArtbyTerraCotta]

@@PaulRansonArt Procreate is best but there's a learning curve. I actually subscribe to the Pigment coloring app (grandfathered in at a half price rate!) and I can whip a sketch together in minutes because I'm so familiar with the brushes. I could do the same in Procreate if I'd just practice for a week ... but who has a week?!? LOL. Procreate is one time fee and very reasonable. Life time updates. Strong recommend!

[@jonathanwilliams2863]

Absolutely excellent painting tutorials. My first Bob Ross seascape didn’t go super well, but this definitely inspired me to try an another. Thank you 🙏

[@PaulRansonArt]

Hi Jonathan - well truth be told my first few seascapes we're .... well lets just draw a curtian over them. But I didn't give up. I studied the classic shape of the wave. Once I had that in my head my waves improved. Now its like using a knife and fork. I don't have to think about it but just enjoy the process. I still get gravy down my shirt of course so I'll keep practicing with the fork! 😃😍😎

[@AnnieTroe]

WOW! Just love this one! You Yeti mic sounds great! My son has one. EXCELLENT values and color - Thanks for sharing! 😍👋

[@PaulRansonArt]

Awesome! Thank you Annie. The audio on my earlier videos always sounded thin and tinny. Upgrading to the Yeti has really helped lots. I'm looking at another limited palette painting on my easel right now so watch out for that one next. Big art hugs to you all. 🤗

[@AnnieTroe]

@@PaulRansonArt We have Deity lav. wired mics - will keep yours in mind for the future! DEFINITELY will keep my eye out for you next painting/video 👍

[@jonathanwilliams2863]

Thank you very much!

[@PaulRansonArt]

You're welcome Jonathan - lots more to come of course - Paul 😃😎

[@twinflamedivinefire59]

Absolutely gorgeous!! Wow! I gave this one a go 2 days ago and I lacked a bit of nuance in the surf lines but other than that it turned out really well I think! One lady on social media who described herself as "very picky" when it comes to purchasing artwork was interested in buying it. She actually asked if I taught?! Best compliment ever!! 😀 She didn't buy BUT I now have to do at least 1 more of these for someone who wants one! Quick Question sir-Would it work if I mixed AC with the blue to make purple? it seems like it would but having not attempted mixing 2 transparent colors not sure and thought I'd ask. Once again, THANK YOU for not only the fantabulous videos (if Bob can make up words, so can we right? 🤪) but also the inspiration to push outside of my comfort zone! I own you another (coffee) real soon Paul You're awesome! 🙏😃 Your friend in painting Alan

[@PaulRansonArt]

Hi Alan - sound like you hit the spot with your painting 😊And, yes absolutely to making a lavender-purple version of this scene. I use Phalos Blue and Alizarin Crimson as I find Prussian Blue a little too cool and dark. It takes careful mixing to get the shade just right but it makes a stunning seascape. Happy painting and thank you for the kind comments.🤗🤗

[@Destinygirl24]

Hello Paul I am in quit a pickle I started this moonlight painting {for the second time. I am a totally new painter anyway I love your calmness and easy to follow vidios and when I started all was going well I got to the point of finishing the moon but a family issue came up so needless to say my painting dried before I could complete it so my question is how do I if possible continue how do I get back to the wet on wet??? This is supposed to be a gift and I SO Would be SO GRAITFUL if you or anyone of your amating followers reading this could please help me out I m not able to start from the beginning again but if the only way is to competly paint over what I've started that I can deal with God bless all in this feed and Please Uggg all sugestions will be so appreciated🤗

[@PaulRansonArt]

Hi - thanks for reaching out for some help. As long as your background sky and moon has dried completely you can add a second glaze of liquid clear and a colour. The colours I use are transparent so keep the areas you like and gently re apply colour the parts of your painting you need to finish. Actually adding multiple glazes can produce some amazing effects. BUT just be sure each layer has dried completely. If a previous layer is not fully dried the new liquid clear coat will lift the partly dried layer which will make a real mess of the painting. Hope this help - good luck with the painting - Paul😎😎

[@jgb5814]

Hi Paul I just got done painting this and was wondering have you had a problem with titanium white ? I have bob ross 200 ml but it is getting hard to push out and to paint with especially using the fan brush its not going on very well at all only had it 4 months ,difficult to going on brush have tried to mix with liquid white, thinner and linseed oil . BAD Batch ??

[@PaulRansonArt]

Hi - There are some small vairations in batches. Some oily some dry. But one top tip is to give the tube a bit of a massage to remix the paint and oil which separates in the tube. I spend a few minuets on tubes that are problem tubes. Its surprising how the paint softens up. If that dosen't work then I use a drop of linseed oil - not thinners to make the paint softer. Hope this helps - Paul 😃😍

[@jgb5814]

@@PaulRansonArt yes I did that too,but I had an idea 💡 I used one of my syringes,sucked up 1 cc linseed oil or so and injected it into the top of tube had long enough needle to go into middle of tube and work up ,did a massage and seemed to work fine!

[@PaulRansonArt]

@@jgb5814 brilliant idea. I've managed to drip a drop or two of linseed oil into the tube before now but the 'linseed inoculation' method sounds spot on!😃😃

[@gosiajacaszek2410]

Coś znalazłam. Fala piękna i pokazana dokładnie, ale ja proszę o zachód słońca 🤗

[@PaulRansonArt]

Hi - a sunset seascape is a great idea. I'll add it to my list of future projects. I need to paint the see again soon as its a favourite subject of mine - Have a great day 🤗😎 Cześć - pejzaż morski o zachodzie słońca to świetny pomysł. Dodam go do mojej listy przyszłych projektów. Muszę niedługo znów malować morze, bo to mój ulubiony temat - Miłego dnia
