[@bunniehoppie]

Awesome tip will definitely do that! Can't wait to practice all these techniques once I get all my supplies! I'll be coming back to re watch all your videos!

[@WildCreates]

Hopefully by the time you come back I will have more awesome videos for ya :)

[@danesterline3825]

This is what I was looking for! Thanks bud. I like doing detail branches, my old prob was gesso or paint was to thick. Never could make the actual tree look nice and pines are a nightmare for me. This will help me thanks again.

[@WildCreates]

Glad I could help! I plan on doing a follow up to this video and I also want to do a winter tree video in December. So hit the Sub button to know when those go live.

[@ritashappypencil]

Thanks for this videos. Brilliant idea of practicing on gessoed cardboard. To pick up the technique without using up my oil paints I did start off using very inexpensive gouache. Did not mind the colours I was using as I wanted to get holding the brush and applying the paint correctly. I now have numerous pieces of cardboard with rainbow coloured happy trees. Also done some 'proper' oil painting trees that are super happy...so is the painter. Thanks again for an excellent video...off to try some mountains or clouds.

[@WildCreates]

I am stoked to hear that you are improving with your tree technique - Also, glad to hear that my tips and tricks are working. Always nice to hear good feedback ya know 😝

[@ddempsey9642]

@ritashappypenci lFound this yesterday, 3 years after you. I've asked lots of artists to show me how to paint trees with no luck. This video has got me practising tho will take me lots more than x 10, using up my acrylic paints on my way to trying oils. BTW noticed & love yr username.

[@cameronwalts7168]

Hey man! Thanks for another awesome video! Was wondering if you ever considered doing a video on branches using the liner brush? I tend to struggle with these more detailed trees very much as a beginner and would love to hear some of your tips! Thanks again!

[@WildCreates]

To be honest I struggle with them too - They always look like weird pitch-forks ha ha h But I will see what I can do for you in a future video

[@joshhoggatt3079]

Great video. I don't have as much trouble with pine trees as I do with regular trees and bushes. How can I get the spotted individual leaves look instead of a blotchy blob. Could you do a video on tress other pine trees and bushes techniques?

[@WildCreates]

I will be more than happy to add that idea to my list of videos. Until then, a simple trick you can do is when you put highlights on. Make a very marbled mixture. This way when you tap on highlights it will have multiple colors in it. This will give the illusion of multiple leaves

[@valencia5560]

I'm so glad it's not just me who sucks at trees 😆 they are HARD! This video was super helpful

[@WildCreates]

Dude legit. Trees can suck it ha ha ha - They are super hard.

[@Sushiiimooo]

I love you!!!!!! I was thinking 10 minutes ago about how to do trees and this pops up! Thank you thank you thank you. I'm excited 😁 😆 eek!

[@shirleybalinski4535]

You mentioned practicing. BEFORE one starts painting & buying a bunch of supplies, would you recommend practicing strokes, brush handling, shading, etc with craft paint or even a cheap water color set,just to get used to painting & various techniques involved?

[@WildCreates]

Hmmmm - good question. There is a saying that goes Buy It Nice OR Buy It Twice. While many many cheap supplies will work great, I recommend you get supplies that will help you grow and be successful at the beginning. AND YES, that means paying a little bit more. I rather have you spend a little more, build confidence and have things click than struggle with crappy supplies.... If that makes sense.

[@Titan52berg]

Painting pine trees is easy with the Bob Ross technique. The fan brush and how you hold it when applying the paint is the key....

[@WildCreates]

100% - When you understand it, you can make a ton of awesome trees easily :)

[@juanmejia7893]

You are really helpfull and I can tell you, you must have made bigginers into pros. Thank you so much for every thing yo uh do and take care:)

[@WildCreates]

Thanks for the kind words... I enjoy giving people the tools and confidence to start their creative adventures 💪

[@mattsteinberg2083]

Awesome video! Do you have any videos on bushes and foreground landscape?

[@WildCreates]

Not yet - but I can add it to the list of up coming videos :)

[@rotteth]

Ik this sounds dumb, but would it still look great if I color in the background a sky color? (Light Blue)

[@WildCreates]

Yup - Its your painting you can do whatever you like to it.

[@zatnikatel1472]

Can we use a carton surface to practice all kind of features? Clouds, mountains etc? And can we use white to put snow on branches instead of the light green?

[@WildCreates]

Yes you can but you will have to gesso your surface first so you paint will stick correctly. You can put what ever color you want on the tree for highlights - Go nuts and have fun!

[@Daz912]

I’ve ruined so many otherwise good paintings with shitty trees. Will definitely practice this!

[@WildCreates]

Ha ha ha been there. I am still there at times. Trees are always tough cause you have this vision in your head. Just take a spare canvas and just practice row after row of trees and things will start to click.

[@aychacharfah1979]

Thank you

[@WildCreates]

You're welcome. Hit that sub button and we will call it even :)

[@cindylancaster2572]

After applying the gesso do you still use liquid white or just the gesso?

[@WildCreates]

Yes. Apply Gesso, let it dry, then add your LW on top. Now you can start painting.

[@cindylancaster2572]

@@WildCreates Thank you, you responded fast. That is great especially if I am in a middle of a painting.

[@vesnabluestar3314]

Bravooooo...👋

[@WildCreates]

You are welcome. I hope it helps you out

[@cindylancaster2572]

I have tried so hard maybe too hard. I still have trouble with trees. I go slow and fast, I try different ways that I have seen. Any more tips you can give or maybe a video for dummies like me.

[@WildCreates]

No joke - Trees are really really hard! So I feel ya here. I plan on making an updated series to trees SO stay tuned for that - I just have to find time to do it :)

[@cindylancaster2572]

@@WildCreates looking forward to it. But in the meantime practice practice practice.

[@WildCreates]

You got it

[@jimibasha]

Hi, thanks for the video and the tips, but i am struggling doing brunches and trunks for other types of trees, i am using linear brush, and i am taking thinner with brown color and no matter what i do the color doesnt come of from the brush. I tried to thin it like water and nothing!!! Did you have the same problem?

[@WildCreates]

This is one of the hardest things to do to be honest. I will see if I can make a video on it in the future for ya.

[@jimibasha]

@@WildCreates thanks, i realy appriciate it. i have the same problem doing the foam in the waves with the linear brush. Its crazy but i'v tried everything.

[@jimmyseaman]

I should have been painting on cardboard first! I think I'll prep some cardboard with gesso and start practicing various basics and test new things to help build some confidence before spending more money on canvas pads!

[@WildCreates]

Sometime amazon can be your best friend when it comes to practicing 😂😂😂

[@Lenore007]

Lol less crappy! Your funny!

[@WildCreates]

Glad you enjoyed the video

[@susanp1205]

I struggle with the fan brush, and think mine are just not good brushes? They tend to separate into four or five clumps of brush instead of staying in the fan shape. Am I doing something wrong?

[@WildCreates]

Have you cleaned and conditioned your brushes at all? IF you have, next time .... Use a lot more paint, Then try dipping your fan brush in paint thinner and dab it dry. Then when you take you paint brush through your paint, wiggle the brush back-and-forth (on both sides). This will help move the paint to the ends of the bristles holding the fan shape more.

[@PyarayAadil]

Are you using the synthetic fan brush or the one with natural bristles?

[@pabloromo]

Wow you could really paint some trees! P.S. are a certified Ross instructor?

[@WildCreates]

Thanks. I am not a CRI yet. I tried to go to the classes last year BUT Covid kinda messed everything up.

[@pabloromo]

@@WildCreates oh bummer, but keep the good work because I know that you’re gonna teach Bob Ross classes someday.

[@WildCreates]

Maybe one day I will :)

[@aaronjames994]

Omg I've always used the brush straight on.....sideways omg!

[@WildCreates]

Ha ha ha - Glad I could blow your mind :)

[@lrodenlr]

I think my fan brush sucks. When it’s wet with paint, it splits and looks like a hand with spread fingers. Needless to say, my trees look like shit 😂

[@WildCreates]

Try this: - Use a soap/conditioner to soft and clean the bristles - When Painting, turn and dip your elbow and wrist a little. This will make you paint more with the corner of the brush. - Load a lot of paint into the brush. Hope that helps a little :)

[@R0BERTMAY]

Yeah dude... these happy little f@#king trees are killing me. When doing the highlights the paint won't stick and just mushes in... 😤😤😤😤😤

[@WildCreates]

Not sure if you saw this video yet. But this will help you cheat and get highlights to stick. Check It out Rob: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXebo4Jsj5hoipY

These evergreens weren't hard at all watching Bob. He say just think of a z. Use corner of the brush to make distant ones
