[@henfc456]

Thank you so much this is vid is really helpful. One thing though I struggle washing my brushes after painting. Any tips? How would I create long thin bunch together trees/bushes as I seem to smudge them all together so it looks like a hedge? Sorry this is specific, just focused on my first question about washing brushes.

[@Wild4]

Glad I could help you out - i will be launching a new art channel soon - Stay tuned :)

[@hessonr]

Is this one easier because it has no trees or clouds? I might give it a shot

[@Wild4]

I hope you do! Good luck I hope it turns out well!

[@SingleFatherSteve]

I did my very first painting ever thanks to this video and many others you made. I just wish I knew how to add my picture on here to show you.

[@Wild4]

That is awesome - Congrats on getting started. Feel free to send the pic to me on my twitter or IG. Links in the show notes :)

[@evakilove55]

[@Wild4]

This should help you out ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIO2aX6GoMlgipY )

[@elaineneumark2636]

I’ve been watching You’re videos I have a question I put liquid. clear on my canvas how do I add more without ruining what I painted. Please help Thank- you very much Elana

[@arodri27]

I tried doing this but with a blue sky and when i tried doing the clouds it turned into mud and i cant layer anything cuz that initial blue background blends with everything and makes mudd😒 what am i doing wrong.

[@Wild4]

Albert Rodriguez Thanks for watching I have a new art channel that will show you how to stop mud mixing ( kzbin.info ) Feel free to follow there :)

[@feline223]

Did you use any medium to thin the paint? Or just mix them straight out of tube. It seems like a lot of paint needs to be used for wet to wet ❓

[@Wild4]

Other than the wet base everything is straight from the tube. This is a starter painting for beginners, so keeping things simple is best when build confidence. As you get better and better you will use less paint. You will learn how to make paint flow and move.... just takes a little practice. Thanks for the comment. 💪

[@ethansmusic8570]

Would this work with acrylic paint

[@Wild4]

It does but you have to work in smaller sections and work a little faster (cause acrylics dry so fast)

[@amybenetin9692]

What do you put on your canvas before you start? Is it just white? Or is it a mixture of white and linseed oil?

[@henfc456]

I think it a substance called liquid white

[@tammycaulder7262]

I'm enjoying your tutorials and wondered if you've done or will be doing one on trees? I have painted a few paintings with Bob with acceptable success but I have tried to paint Mountain Ridge Lake 3x and run in to the same problem once I try to add the grass and trees. My grass blends into the background and my trees are pathetic. I can't figure out what I'm doing or not doing. Again, your tutorials are great!

[@Wild4]

I would love too. To be honest I think trees and land are the hardest to do (many times I am not happy with what I make either). So don't discouraged. Give me some time to whip something up (cause I have a few videos I have to do first). What Season and Episode is "Mountain Ridge"? You can always tweet or IG me you painting and I can help you with where you might have gone wrong too (Social stuff in about me section). Happy painting :) 💪

[@tammycaulder7262]

That's awesome! Thanks :) It is season 23 episode 3. I'll try and figure out how to send the picture. Thanks again!

[@tammycaulder7262]

I think I was able to send the photos on instagram...first time using it so I hop it worked :)

[@Wild4]

Thanks - I will take a look and see what I can do :)

[@Wild4]

Got it and replied :)

[@dennisburgess2940]

i have a super photo that i want to turn into a painting. Would you consider doing it publicly as a how to? I am not a beginner but it has been a long time. Tks

[@Wild4]

Send me the photo on my twitter on IG and I will see what I can do. Social info is in the "about me" or in each video description. 💪

[@vinodrawat6160]

👍 👍 👍

[@Wild4]

Thanks for watching 💪

[@michaelfeldman9698]

What did u mean at the beginning that the canvas was wet with white?

[@Wild4]

Michael feldman Its a wet on wet painting style. So the canvas already has a white wet coat on it. Thanks for watching I have a new art channel ( kzbin.info ) Feel free to follow there :)

[@michaelfeldman9698]

@@Wild4 thx! I’m actually starting with water mixable oils but I believe what u taught applies. Switching from water color , excited to try this.

[@jarodiking4133]

when i try to do highlights it just starts to blend with the previous colour and then it isnt a highlight anymore. letting it dry takes to long and with paint thinner it dries to quick for me to mix in extra colours. Solution anyone?

[@Wild4]

Thin layers will stick to thick layers. For Example: If you are painting a bush, really push that base "bush color" into the canvas (make sure the base color is firm) Then take a mixture of 50% liquid white and 50% (any color you want) (here is a video on liquid white - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKncc2d7qNyikLc ) - This mixture will be thin enough to stick on top of that base layer. You only need to apply slight pressure. This will give you the highlights you want. I hope that helps 💪

[@jarodiking4133]

indeed it does help

[@Wild4]

I am glad that I could help ya out 💪

[@jillaarts6814]

What do you use to prime your canvas before you actually start painting?

[@Wild4]

Jill Aarts I use Gesso. Thanks for watching I have a new art channel ( kzbin.info ) Feel free to follow there :)

[@MrKrenath]

I'm gonna start sharing these on Facebook if you don't mind, Ryan! :)

[@Wild4]

I would love that. All the extra help on growth is appreciated :)

[@headrushindi]

nice little beginner demo .. I Like the painting , but was a bit bewildered by the highlights. In the painting itself it is apparent that a majority of the light in the sky is coming from the top left side, yet you drew in the highlights as if the majority of the visible light were on the top right . Just seems to be contradictory to other painting videos i have seen.

[@juanmejia7893]

Can you do a video on acrylic paint please

[@Wild4]

I will be adding more on my new channel kzbin.info Feel free to follow

[@jooleejoo8565]

he makes wet on wet look s easy...is it easy though?

[@Wild4]

No creative outlet is easy at the start. However painting in the wet-on-wet style is very forgiving for a beginner. I always say its easy to start and pick up but hard to master. If you get a little oil kit let me know and we can do a paint a-long together 💪

[@alvaroflorestheflores4692]

could you help me, paint is still wet, trying to add small leaves etc, the paint wont stick :o( help me. Buddy

[@Wild4]

Try adding some linseed oil, or thinner to your paint - This should make it thin enough to stick on the other layers. OR you can wait for you painting to dry and add paint then. Happy painting 💪

[@clintstiles8658]

Why would you paint it white before you start to paint?

[@Wild4]

Clint Stiles Its a wet on wet style of painting - You add a wet base down and paint on top of it. This allows your colors to blend on the canvas. Thanks for watching I have a new art channel ( kzbin.info ) Feel free to follow there :)

[@patty_rish]

How the fuck even. Lol im doing my first oil painting and omg. Completely different than acrylic. I cant get it to blend so nicely!!!

[@Wild4]

Are your doing the "Wet on Wet" Style or are you painting on a dry canvas?

[@patty_rish]

Wild4Games canvas was dry when i started putting paint down. I feel like i went into it with the mindset that it looks way easier to manipulate than acrylic and negative. 😂

[@patty_rish]

My first layer was way too thinned out. I figured it out from another video you have!!! Thanks though:) I'm just not use to such thick paint. Also not use to being so patient with the process. Because I'm use to moving so fast with acrylics.

[@Wild4]

Gotcha, So the style I do is "wet on wet" (were you put down a base layer of wet paint, generally white) This allows you to blend colors on the canvas with ease. You can check out my "Magic White" video for an example. If you need anymore help let me know and I would love to see what you create. Happy Painting 💪

[@Wild4]

Ha ha ha - Yeah its hard going from acrylics to oil when you are so use to the dry time being so fast. You will get the hang of it in no time flat.
