I'm a Artist and been through Art Academy, and I do Oil Paintings in different styles and done "Bob Ross" wet on wet and it was so easy if you know what your doing wet on wet, the only thing I do different in my Painting I never use the mixing knife on the canvas, I think it's the younger generation want to rush through a Oil Paintings that you

100% Not photoshopped 😂😂😂 The biggest issue I have is putting on highlights..I tend to cover up too much of the dark. Your list is spot on, especially the part about slowing down. I’ve been guilty of this! Thanks again for another very useful, helpful video!

Thanks! I am very new to painting and I found your channel after ruining a seascape. I have a feeling that wasn’t the best painting to try on my second time. I had to start over. I don’t think i put enough liquid white and clear because it was very hard to blend from the get go. The first one I did okay with in that regard. Anyway, i love your videos! thanks for the help, it encourages me to continue.

I’m having a problem with trying to paint new things on the wet background just picking up the paint underneath and just smearing one blended color

What is gesso made of? Can I use an acrylic paint in place of gesso?

[OscarPerez-mmxb]

Great. Video, Wild! How about a video to tell how to apply liquid white/ clear?

[kzrclkk]

Hi, I don't have a liquid white, can linseed oil be a substitute?

[megagoodtimes]

Its ok to use acrylic gesso for oil painting? Should i let it dry?

[duffyror]

Do you put gesso on every canvas before applying liquid white? Great video. Thank you.

[lindagibas]

Your videos have been so helpful!. Question about reusing a canvas. After I scrape off the oil paint should I apply a coat of gesso or just reapply the magic white? Thanks!!

[lmicciulli]

Hello hope your having g an awesome day . My question is, I painted something now I wish to place an animal in the front left, my question is does it matter the size

[kdwestrup]

How do you re-hydrate canvas while taking my time? Some has dried in patches and another set for a week.

[LucasGottfried]

I’ve recently also given it a try and my biggest problem is, that highlights in those dark clouds just become one with the dark color and make it a grey mess.

I guess that also falls under using too little color for the highlight areas 😅

[leonanoble]

Hi Wild, I had used too little liquid white and after my painting is done I see splotchy oily spots in a certain light when I tilt it . will it dissipate when it dries completely? Yikes!!

[spacejumper]

how long has gesso dry approximately? (asking for an acrylic painting on a canvas)

[OscarPerez-mmxb]

Wild, Wine, Whiskey, or women is right amigo!!!

Probably the first mistake is trying to copy the student "Bob ross" when you should be copying the person he copied, his instructor "Bill Alexander". Bill has many videos on YouTube.
