That's some cool tips....I use to paint like this in the mid 90's. I ended up doing detailed watercolors and had a few prints made. Well, do to family responsibilities, I set the hobby aside, but kept a portion of my study as the studio I would come back to one day. I early retired from law enforcement and have the time to get back in this now and set up my studio once again...everything is ready. Clouds are not a problem, snow breaks were at one time done well until I stopped. I'm learning some of these techniques all over again, but feel with enough time I can master them. Practicing on the pallette is something I never thought of, that really is an impressive idea. I'm a new subscriber...I like getting fresh ideas, thanks for sharing this. I look forward to viewing your others.
Great vid bro ! I like having your vids playing while I paint . Like how you are always clear and give good examples. There is an idea , do a painting on your big pallet lol .
Hey Wild-man, great tips in another video on making better mountains (thank you). In this video, does speed (fast or slow) come in to to play when trying to lay down breaking snow with your pallett knife? (I started painting a week ago).
When you learn the correct and constant pressure there isn't much of a difference. It will all break pretty much the same way. Don't worry about speed worry about the correct pressure and flow... the rest will fall into place :)
@@WildCreates One more question I really need help with....my brushes seem to always have a little green color in them, no matter how many times I dunk them in thinner, grind them on the screen and beat "the devil" out of them. What am I doing wrong? Is it time for new brushes? I just started painting last Monday? TIA
You are fine this is 100% normal. Whenever you paint with colors that are green, red and blue, the pigments are strong and they dye the bristles. There is no avoiding it but don't worry... it does not effect the brush in any way.
I got you... I have two videos on varnish for beginners. Take a look at the videos below: Prep Varnishing: ruclips.net/video/nNGp6vGXCzc/видео.html Perfect Varnish Coat: ruclips.net/video/I9C7HO7IkRk/видео.html
Thenk you for the video. Im from Israel, its realy hard working with bob ross'es knife, i wanted to ask whats the brand of the knife you got from Mickels? Thanks
Hi and again i appriciate all your tips, i wanted tobknow How to avoid the globe of paint at first touch of the knife? Its taking all of paint from knife and nothing left for the rest gliding?
Its all about practicing how you approach the canvas with the knife. Start with more of a "90" degree angle, as you begin at the top of your mountain then "Drop the angle" to a more flat angle as you come down the mountain. Find a spare piece of card cardboard and just practice this angle approach over and over and you will nail it :)
@@WildCreates with card board its easy, but when i tried it on a wet surface like the painted canvas its not working the same. But with your tip now i finaly understand how to avoid that globe of paint, i also shake my hand and it even more helps. Thank you so much!!!!
- My trick is use a clean and dry fan brush... brush in with the fan brush where the path will be ( with no paint on the brush ) JUST MAKING A TEMPLATE HERE. - Then clean off the F brush and add the color of the path you want and repeat the same step. - Now go over your path with a palette knife highlight color and graze the path to add highlights. I hope that helps
The biggest problem I am having is getting the paint to come off my brushes when I am dabbing on to make bushes or tree leafs and ideas and I made the mistake and bought cheap paint to start and now I am ordering Bob Ross and I have some winsor newton any ideas
Very Common issues when starting. Here are two videos that may help you out and show a better example on how to get paint to stick. Painting Trees: ruclips.net/video/kYWI3BAu-6k/видео.html Simple Tree Example: ruclips.net/video/Cmdyhg283pU/видео.html
Can you also do it on a Different version of a painting knife, the one that looks like a tool someone use for applying concrete Amazing helpful vid bro I can now make nice moutains fairly easily with high consistency Nice
Those types are generally used for mixing paint and applying thick coats on a canvas. You could do it but the angle of the knife will be a little tough. I have links in the video description for the knifes I used.
Wild Creates Thanks a lot mateie Im gonna try to make my own painting knife similar to the ones used by you with a similar design hoping with similar results, this type of painting knife is extremely hard to find here in the Philippines anyways thanks a lot as I have learned to make many of my friends and family happy through painting Take Care and God Bless
Funny enough. One of my next videos coming out is how to make your own cheap palette knife. It won’t be as good as the ones in the video. But it will still get the job done 💪
Hey! loved the video man! I'm having a really hard time with pallete knife painting with acrylic paint. I use golden open paint if that helps. Keep up the great work!!
Glad you enjoyed it. Open paints can be tough. Best advice I can give is practice with a cheap acrylic on a clean spare piece of cardboard. The cardboard is very forgiving with paint breaks. This will help you build the skills to give you the confidence.
To be honest that is the right way they teach it. But I find it way better to lay your finger the way I do . Which I touch on in this short: ruclips.net/user/shortsonMrM1XuFSo I find it give you more control.
In desperate need of more help?

Like your videos, specifically oil painting videos thanks! Could you make a video about seascapes and tree palms?
Thanks for the kind words.
I will see what I can do for you in a future video :)
@@WildCreates I appreciate it thanks!!

@@WildCreates As we say on this side of the pond ... top man! Many thanks. 👍
You are super welcome buddy
For snow on mountains I have developed the 3 F rule. Hold the knife between the fore-finger and fumb.
I am glad that you found a technique that works for you 💪
@@WildCreates where is your video about why you put paint on top of the knife, or below it for water lines please?
Thank you
Glad I can help you out
Thenk you for the video.

mmmm Was hoping for more then one effect! Although a good looking guy!
Ha ha ha...
If you need another video on a palette knife effect. Check out this video here.
Is using a plastic pallet knife different from using a metal one?
Plastic is OK and will get the job done BUT once you use a nice metal one... you will never go back :)
Can you also do it on a Different version of a painting knife, the one that looks like a tool someone use for applying concrete
Amazing helpful vid bro I can now make nice moutains fairly easily with high consistency

@@bensartakamcas1n126 If you make your own pay attention that the metal is not too thick, or it won't work properly 😊
What is the name of the knife?
Its a palette knife... or do you mean the design of this one?
Im just scratcing my back with my palete knife😂😂
Always good to have a multitasker ha ha ha

@@WildCreates Thank you so much for the tip! I also have matching paint in their heavy body style. I think ill give those a shot first!
Nice - let me know how it goes for ya... I will be interested in your progress :)
I never put my index finger there cause my CRI said they never do that 😢. She lie!
To be honest that is the right way they teach it. But I find it way better to lay your finger the way I do . Which I touch on in this short: ruclips.net/user/shortsonMrM1XuFSo
I find it give you more control.
Yeah I agree tried it last night and it does give you more control.
Glad it helped ya 🔥
