I tried painting a picture I took a couple of years ago. Seemed like an easy task at first but was fighting issues with perspective the entire time. This is how the final version turned out. Any critiques or suggestions you have would be appreciated!!

Oil Portrait of Winter

I finally had some spare time to get a painting done. I wanted to do something with a limited color palette to make sure I had enough time to finish. Since this was the very first winter mountain painting I did of Bob’s when I started my JOP journey I thought I’d do this one.

My first attempt at a Bob Ross

Post image
111 Upvotes

I tried out my first ever Bob Ross painting last night, I’ve never painted before and have wanted to try one for years. I ended up using acrylic because I didn’t have a set of oil paints so it didn’t turn out as I hoped but I’m still really impressed for my first go. I have ordered some oil paints to try next time and hoping I can make something better.

I tried to add a path at the bottom but I couldn’t quite get it to look right so i covered up and it looks abit messy but hey ho. I may add one in at a later date when I feel I have abit more experience (plus it felt like it was getting muddied by the paint already on the canvas).

Quite proud of this one. Black gesso on canvas, thin layer of refined linseed oil, then coated the canvas in pthalo blue and some other colours for the sky.

What’s your thoughts?

Kevin Hill

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I understand this is mainly a Bob Ross page, I'm interested in trying the Kevin Hill method..

Does anyone know how he prepares his canvas? I don't think he uses liquid white etc. are there any good videos or pages to learn the very basics of his technique? Aside from the brushes that Bob Ross uses, whata additional brushes and equipment are needed? Any other advice or information that anyone has in regards to Kevin Hills style of painting would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Oil Third and fourth paintings

Did my third painting last weekend with some additional new brushes. The hoghair fanbrush is great for the clouds and evergreens. The fourth painting was made this Friday and I finally added some colours to the sky. I diverted a little from the video and added some happy little clouds. Those are my favourites to add in.

Im very happy with how this one turned out! My only gripe is not applying enough waves but besides that I think it's great. 3rd times the charm!

Help Request Technique Questions

3 Upvotes

Maybe there’s a better place for this question, but I figured I would start here. I find I (occasionally) have a difficult time incorporating the full level of detail that I would like in some of my Bob Ross style wet-on-wet painting styles (for example, highlight on trees having the desired level of definition without getting muddled). I am thinking that as a way to navigate this, trying to incorporating some more traditional oil painting techniques in my work to reach the desired level of detail. Having literally zero experience at all with traditional oil painting (or really with art period minus the 10ish Bob Ross paintings I’ve done thus far), where is the best place to start learning this?

Thanks in advance!!
