The Hardest & Most Difficult Bob Ross Paintings EVER!

[@WildCreates]

What do you think is the hardest Bob Ross Landscape Painting? Let me know in the comments below

[@dianeo]

Forest Edge, Season 23 Ep. 2... Looked easy enough and I thought it would be good practice since I struggle with trees and foliage. Not only was it a huge muddy mess, but had oily drips from too much liquid clear! Yes, it ended up in the trash. Haven't gotten up the nerve to try it again. Still traumatized 😅

[@zachalhamo2391]

You should review Kevin hill oil painting products, they are actually better than bob ross products because all the brushes are natural bristle

[@WildCreates]

I have actually heard mixed reviews on them. So I am interested in trying them out. I just need more funds my way to say up for them so I can test them out.

[@WildCreates]

Ha ha ha - Let me just say BEEN THERE. I would say try it again this next weekend. For this one you dont need much LC at all. Apply the LC across the entire canvas then take a blue paper towel and lightly wipe it off (like no pressure though). It will leave what you need. Then you will be good to go.

[@zacharyarmitage7941]

This was a fun video wild. The first one i tried was the hour long special. For months I had been wanting to try painting like this. Finally pulled the trigger and got the brushes, paints, a steady easel. Everything. 10 minutes in, my painting was a mess and was feeling terrible. TO MUCH MAGIC WHITE. Finally after the 3rd try I finally had something that was looking like a hangable painting! Anyway, the hour long special was (in my opinion) HARD!

[@barnacles62]

Bob Ross was a speed painter. He actually had taken lessons from Bill Alaxander, the inventor of terms like "happy little clouds" etc. If you binge watch him, you'll see his earlier work was done very simple and if you have painted at all easy. Even his later paintings to professional artists were nowhere near fine art, but he never claimed it to be, he even stated that on the Phil Donahue show once. He was out to sell products and never sold neither painting off the show. He sold tutorial videos, and artist products, which could be very expensive. His wet-on-wet method was a very old method of painting. I paint with acrylics, and use the same type of method, only acrylics dry fast, so I allow time for that sometimes. I never learned much about how to paint by Ross, but almost all my inspiration as a kid come from him, i wished he was still around, a truly decent person....

[@WildCreates]

I think we all wish he was still around. The good news is he is still inspiring us ❤

[@JohnValentineGuam]

Cool video! Watching Bob Ross and Bill Alexander painting videos has saved my life.

[@WildCreates]

They are so much fun to watch.

[@budh8505]

I’m new to painting, I’ve done 21 Ross paintings up to date. Mountains, clouds and reflection seem to be easy for me but struggling with trees and bushes. I enjoyed and agree with your list. I also wanted to thank you for suggesting on another video to check out Bill Alexander, it definitely helped me.

[@WildCreates]

I am glad that my videos are helping you out. I too still struggle with trees and bushes especially the highlights that go on them ha ha ha

[@sukihitz291]

This was fun! I did the Mountain Challenge and truly surprised myself! It was a very satisfying and confidence building challenge! Thank you for putting this together!

[@WildCreates]

It really is a fun when and YES it is a challenge. Have you tried any others on the list.

[@SkyDiverCanada]

What a great video you did here on Bob and his work. "After the Rain", is my favourite painting he ever did. Absolutely love it. I've watched it a hundred times. New Subscriber here!

@@WildCreates thank you.

You are super welcome

[@timfarry7071]

I loved doing the mountain challenge painting. Considered teaching kids the Bob Ross painting method, and would include that one to hone the knife skills. It wasn't that bad to do either, but normally I would only use the knife for mountains and waterlines. Trees and clouds look better with a brush.

[@WildCreates]

Mountain Challenges are fun. They are one of my favorite things to paint.

[@martinpope1242]

I am so impressed with this video bud.. I've always wanted to watch a video like this on bobs paintings ALSO doing a bob ross painting in acrylic only. To add to the challenge

[@WildCreates]

Glad you enjoyed the video. If you are trying to do a BR painting with acrylic be sure to check out this video on some tips: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnfUlWCgn5afh5o

I also tried two canvas painting also and It needs a lot of practice But it's fun to do.

[@WildCreates]

I am glad you had a blast painting it :)

[@HarryJinBaekseok]

@@WildCreates Yup Especially I like to painting the day and night winter scene. Cause I wanna Show the sun and moon in my painting.

[@WildCreates]

its super cool when you can have different seasons shown 💪

[@Dedgyblazer]

i totally agree with this list and also goes to show how even the most old kevin hill painting videos are tough as nails to do

[@WildCreates]

Glad that you enjoyed the list.

[@QuerkieGal]

I've done the campfire one as a beginner painter and I had your videos to give me the courage to try! I even tagged you on Instagram when I did it Wild (it was a while back), I was so proud. It was darker than I had liked, but a good first Bob Ross try. Thank you Wild for all your work educating us on how to do Bob Ross paintings!

[@WildCreates]

I am glad that you are enjoying my videos. I just took a look and couldn't find your tagged post. Feel free to DM it to me on IG, that way it pops to the top and I can enjoy your awesome artwork

@@WildCreates It was really a while back ago and I had to delete that Instagram account because I got hacked. I'll see if I can find the piece again and scan it for you.

[@WildCreates]

Please do - I would love to see it. Make a new IG and share your awesomeness with the world and me :)

[@wetcoastclan]

Yup, I have watched at least a few of these for ideas and skipped rather quickly to other episodes {shudder}. Great video, as always!

[@WildCreates]

Bwah ha ha ha. Sounds about right and I feel ya there. Some of these are intimating

[@shirleydrake1602]

I can’t get my contact paper to stick to the canvas well enough to use it effectively. I do love the effects of using different tape widths.. try it, it takes your painting to a different level.

[@WildCreates]

its really fun using masking tapes and contact paper

[@moncherj]

This is an outstanding video. Makes you look at what skills you need and what you should work on.

[@WildCreates]

I know right - This was a huge video to make... So I am glad that you enjoyed it. Maybe you will give one a try ha ha ha

[@Primal-Gaming]

Wow I always thought of Bob Ross paintings as on the easier side of the scale I had no idea!

[@WildCreates]

Yeah - He has a lot of range that he normally does get credit for

[@pastalovinporcupine6806]

The campfire painting is my favortie

[@WildCreates]

Dude that one is stunning and difficult hha ha ha

[@CLMaxey67]

I love the "real talk"...."well, you're screwed"! LOL

I’ve done waterfall in the woods and nightlight and they are the 2 best paintings I’ve ever done.

[@WildCreates]

I would love to see them sometime.

[@dianeo]

You had me laughing through the whole video 😆 I'm definitely not ready for these, but hopefully... some day.

[@WildCreates]

Glad I can make you smile. When you are ready - I am sure one of these will give you a challenge.

[@carissastur5313]

Yay! Number 2 was ironically my 2nd painting ever and even though it turned out nice and I'm very proud of it. It could of been better and felt a little over my head. So its nice to see it on here. Could you please do an Bill Alexander list?

[@WildCreates]

Ha ha ha awesome. I love your ambition :) I plan on making some for Bill alexander - I just haven't seen them all yet. So I still have some research to do. Make sure you hit that sub button to know when it goes live.

[@mgiese84]

As someone who painted all 403 of Bob’s paintings I have to agree with most of the ones on your list. If I had to say the most difficult I’d say “Mountain by the Sea,” “Royal Majesty” or “Mountain Splendor.” In all three there is a lot going on and you really have to methodically go through them in order to have success

[@WildCreates]

Oh hell ya, Way to dominate the Joy of Painting buddy. I am curious to think what was the most complex one for you ( not the most difficult ) Like what painting was different or maybe you change your approach? I would also be curious to hear your thoughts on my top 10 easiest: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6inaGimbNFqmLc

[@mgiese84]

@@WildCreates most complex I’d have to say either “Royal Majesty” or “Mountain Splendor.” With Royal Majesty by the time you put in the evergreens you have a lot of layers of paint already on the canvas you have to go over top of. I pretty much had to use straight liquid black in order to make it work. I’ll get back to you on the easiest ones. Generally I say winter scenes are easier because the grass is covered by snow ;-)

[@mgiese84]

You and I have many of the same on our list of easiest. My four easiest would be "Ocean Sunrise", "Grey Winter," "Quiet Pond" and "Winter Solitude."

[@P110ito6]

Very interesting video as usual!

[@WildCreates]

Glad you like it. Maybe when you feel brave you will give it a go

[@Glic2000]

I did that "Night Light" painting a couple of times. It didn't seem that hard. Only problem I had was the yellow paint I used didn't show up super-bright like in the video. The solution there was to just add a little white paint to make it stand out a bit more. I also hate how Bob Ross always used a knife to make buildings and such; it's WAY easier to just use a flat brush!

[@WildCreates]

They yellow you might have been using was transparent or semi-transparent. Adding the white fixed that issue for ya... so smart move 🔥

[@underthesearoses8619]

Great video. I think my hardest challenge was painting a Bob Ross in under ten minutes. I'm naturally a slow painter but I managed to paint one in seven minutes. It includes sky, clouds, mountains. a lake, bushes, two trees and grass/foreground. The canvas is already prepared with liquid white before you begin.

[@WildCreates]

Dang that is impressive. There is nothing wrong with painting slow... I actually enjoy it, feels more therapeutic. I will have to check out your paintings sometime.

[@underthesearoses8619]

@@WildCreates It was just an exercise I had to do on my CRI course. To be honest I needed it.I was the slowest in the class. And it is a great way of not getting bogged down with perfection as you have no time to fiddle with mountains etc.

[@WildCreates]

Dope - Many artist will do a 2, 5, 10 & 20 in challenge to test their skills for the same reason

[@lindakildow7507]

If we partially finish a painting and go back the next day, do we need to apply more liquid clear?

[@WildCreates]

The answer is depends - Sometimes you dont have to cause your canvas will still be wet. But sometimes your canvas will tacky up. So you need to add a little medium to get it wet again. Best Answer I can give is test it before you start.

[@XOKaraJo]

Season 5 Episode 13 Meadow Stream . . . it got me! I was sweating like a virgin at a prison rodeo by the time I got to the stream. By then I just EFF it! There was enough mud there to cover a hog. I had to walk away from it. As always thanks for your insight. Sometimes I get too overzealous when watching Bob. But hey, my little shack barn turned out awesome!

[@WildCreates]

I did number two and number 5 as a new painter. My hardest part for number two were the waves and getting the shade right on the little house. I don't think it looks that great. Number five however turned out awesome. I did have a lot of trouble with all the trees on the left side but did okay with the cowboy. It was actually a commissioned painting I made money on.

@@WildCreates First and foremost, I picked this up as a hobby during the pandemic, I don’t claim to be good in fact I suck but who cares, just for fun right? Sticking with what I’ve actually tried, “Waterfall in the Woods” wow. Was tempted because I think black canvasses are easier and look cool in the end. As a seasoned mud-mixer I 100% thought it looked easy too: liquid clear, wipe it down what can go wrong? Then you get to the waterfall, “little bit of liquid clear, just a little bit.” Well…what the he11 does that mean?!? Plus you really only get one shot so anxiety off the charts. I added one beer and that actually went okay but yeah you’re 100% right building the highlights and the grassy things on the rocks was a killer! Suddenly there’s something wrong with your brush it’s got one hair-lick going off in some random direction that’s driving you crazy plus it’ll never dry there’s no doubt that one was TOUGH! On an unrelated more positive note “Pretty Autumn Day” that’s one that went well for me, still hanging over the fireplace. Loved the video my friend thanks for putting it together.
