This is such a good idea, to have three versions of a Bob Ross classic, your version! It helps us understand so many different things that can happen when we paint. I feel better now about having made three good versions of a painting and one not so good-that I think I will keep now, seeing as I can look back and learn from it. Especially the law of thirds and how important that it can be to the final outcome of the painting. I’m not sure why, but laying down the lay of the land is so difficult for me to get right. I think it is intimidating. That’s why I watch these multiple times. I think watching you paint the snow in three different foregrounds will hopefully help my confidence! It’s amazing how after years of doing this, coming up with colors that go together and are eye catching are second nature to you! Thank you Paul, so much!! These are gorgeous. ✨🖌️🎨😊✨

Hi Stephanie - thank you for your lovely feedback. I think its maybe more important to see how a painting can evolve rather than just seeing a pretty picture. Trying different versions is a tried and tested way that artist have worked for centuries. And its still a valid way of creating a finished painting today. Technology can help too. But sometimes its just paint on canvas thats needed. Colour combo's are something you will pick up. there are some standards that work well all the time like yellow / red / lavender / blue for a sunset or sunrise sky. But you'll find ones that appeal the more you paint. Have a great day and its onto the next painting today for me! 😍😎

Hello, Paul👋🏼 Wow! I love the colour choices in this painting and the subject too. One day I hope to see the Northern Lights in person 🙏🏼🤞🏼 Your paintings will have to do for now. 😉 Yes, sometimes you do have to step back and not over do it… I sometimes make that mistake when I add a colour for a fun highlight. Give the cat a chin scratch for me. One of my two has the tendency to sit on my painting if I leave it flat. I’ve learned the hard way. Hope you’re having a great start to the week. 💖

Hello Paul..I have a question please...in acrylics if I want to reclaim a canvas I just gesso over it....if I would like to reclaim a canvas on a practice piece that has dried what would I do? Or is it one and done with oils? Thank you for your tutorials and your time 😊
@PaulRansonArt11 ай бұрын
Hey there - good question. Its possble to reclaim a canvas several ways. If a painting has a happy accident and is still wet then simply scrape off the paint and use a little odourless thinners on a rag to wipe off as much old paint as possible. You'll need to leave the canvas to dry a day or two then restart the painting. The second option is a little messy but works well if a canvas has dried. I simply use some over gel! Thats right oven gel strips the paint off just as it would grease in an oven. Rinse well with water and air dry again. So a bit more labour intensive. My favourite is to simply make 'DIY canvases' They're made with heavy weight lining paper from the home depot and given a couple of coats of acrylic to seal them before painting with oils. Luckily I made a video all about this on my channel - here's a link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jciSbNNkzMqneI0.htmlsi=JyFjAbthTw54v4WW I have a few 'How to start oil painting' videos you might find helpful and to save a happy $$ too kzfaq.info/sun/PLia0kTctmZ_cjdl5rlQRjnYgBkiTBQ6wv&si=dlBcU9Q5lbFwL5-x
