*Incredible light house painting Paul my friend!* ✅✅✅✅🎨🎨😃😃🎨🎨✅✅✅✅
Thank you so much 😀Chris. It was a challenging painting so I'm pleased you liked it. Wish I was in Thailand right now. Its a freezing cold grey daye here in the UK - brrrr 😎😎
@@PaulRansonArt Ha ha. Blue skies n sunshine here Paul. Let's keep making art and work towards our dreams 🌞🌴🎨
Beautiful Paul!! I also walk away from my art and come back with fresh eyes!! It makes a huge difference and I always see something that I didn't see before!!😊Robbie
Thank you so much 😀 Robbie. I walk away until it looks good enough. Sometimes its better from the other end of the garden! We have a very long garden 🤣🤣
Love these seascape paintings, Paul - they're my favorites! _19:13__ I was thinking, oh no, that doesn't look too well. Then, bang, __19:47__ all's good again, haha._ Fantastic painting, what an awesome job!
Thats the thing Steve - just when things look like they are going wrong ....... stop ....... have a think and then work on the fix. The secret is the '.........' So many folk rush to fix things and make them worse. Thats a theme of my latest video. Have a great day - Paul
Great job Paul, and one of my favorite paintings! " 💖
Thank you so much 😀Yovette. Love your latest distant foothills painting tutorial. I'll need this for some future paintings ruclips.net/video/qGccbXkwf8A/видео.html 😃
@@PaulRansonArt Thank you dear, and you are very welcome. 😍
Hi Paul i really enjoyed your video, your voice is super calm and you explained everything really clear , loved it!☺
Glad you enjoyed it Andriani. I watched some of your videos and see you have a lovley studio. Happy Painting 🥰
Beautiful painting! And Thanks for sharing. I will try this one soon.
Thank you! Cheers David. Yes have a go. There's a few challenges as you saw from my video but its a lovely painting 😎
@@PaulRansonArt You're welcome! I like your version a lot it looks more realistic! The last time I painted Night Light it turned out ok. But I always wanted to paint it again. Thanks again for sharing!
Another great one Paul. Thank you.
Thank you Peter. I always wanted to teach this on in our painting workshops but the green sky was a minefield. I don't think I could have fixed a whole room full of martain landscapes. 🤣
Your art is amazing Paul, you are very talented my friend ;-) Bull
Thank you so much 😀. I really appreciate your knid comments. Hope to see you at some future videos 😎
Stunning.
Thank you Michael - as you see I try and add a little extra to Bob's classics. Plus show you my own happy accidents and fixes along the way. Happy Painting - Paul 😃😃😎😎
Amazing video, very beautiful painting, plenty of charm😍😍
Thank you so much 😀Blanca. I'm loving the new studio space for you. It looks just wonderful and light filled. 😺🤩
I love the lighthouse trick. Your painting if beautiful.
Thank you so much! I'm always looking for ways to simplify or over come a challenge when painting. Hopefully you'll give this a try sometime 😊😊
Wow nice good 👍
Thank you so much. I'm pleased you enjoyed my fun and games on this painting. Lots more videos to come! 🤗🤗
Awesome Paul I love this my friend happy days 🎨🎨👍
Thank you so much 😀Dan. More happy days to come for us both 😎😎
You are such a treat, Paul! ❤
I agree with you 💯% it was as if there were two paintings in one. I do like the way you solve the problem. However, I wonder what would’ve happened if you added a phthalo blue or cerulean on the black & white side of the ocean?
Also, the conceptualism behind the two different sides could provide you with quite the thesis in art school. 😂 I’m going to give myself PTSD if I don’t stop.
Anyway, thanks for a wonderful painting and lesson. 🥰 Looking forward to your next. 😉
Thank you Robyn. Food for though on my next paintings. Maybe I'll play with the first (now dry version) I can't break it anymore than it already is. Do you ever paint to destruction just to find the weak spots. Its something I would do often before teaching a class. Better that I make all the mistakes before I took a class of 12 down the same blind alley. Have a lovely week 😍
@@PaulRansonArt I do paint until destroying the piece but typically not on purpose 😂. It’s brilliant of you to anticipate problems with a painting prior to demonstrating the “how to.” There is something humbling to making art when you royally screwing up a canvas. Sometimes there is no helping it and it best to getting out the gesso and resetting the canvas.
Speaking of taking your class down a blind alley; have you ever asked everyone to paint blindfolded? 😎
❤love to watch you paint i have learned so much
Thank you Mary. I'm delighted to hear my videos are helping you. I'm make more so feel free to drop by for some more painting fun. Next video this Sunday 28.5.23 😍
I like the color selection and the fact that yours doesn't have green vegetation but a large land/rock mass. That said, I'm presently inclined to think that the waves need some "cradle strokes and maybe some seafoam added. Anyhow, I like the little secret trick for the lighthouse!
Thanks for stopping by. Yes to both ideas. I would love to have so much more time for all the little extras too. I'll add more to future tutorials 😀😎
I luv your version ITS RAD
Thank you so much 😃😎
Great work awesome
Thank you so much 😀
Such a beautiful lighting house painting ..thanks for sharing this tutorial 🥰🥰🥰👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much 😀Please stop by for more art tutorial in the future. Love your channel too 😍
Outstanding! Thank you!!
You're very welcome Karl. Hope you liked my hidden lighthouse trick 😉
@@PaulRansonArt MOST DEFINITELY! The “contact” paper or tape is genius! My sister in Law loves lighthouses I will definitely try this one! Will do a bit of practice first! Thank you Paul!!
I enjoy how you explain what you're doing. Happy painting!
Thank you so much Mack - pleased my videos are hitting the spot - Lots more to come 😃😎
@@PaulRansonArtPaul - I'm struggling with a panting from a photograph. Is there any way I can send you the photo so you can help advise me? Ta. Paul Thomas.
@@paulhthomas2161 Hi Paul - I'm not able to give a detailed tutorial but always pleased to take a look and see if I can give you a few pointers. If you go to my Instagram page you can post a photo there. Whats also important is where you think things need improving. So things like 'well its all of it' aren't really going to get us in a position where I can help. Also if you have reference phor drop that on there too. I'll do my best to have a peek at it in the next day or two. Now back to my easel and get that camera rolling - Paul 😃😃😎😎
Wow Paul this was much more simple than previous works, but still looks stunning 😊👍 and that was a neat trick with the lighthouse, definitely something more and more artists need to do 😃
Glad you liked it Damo. I'm always dreaming up stuff that might help someone ( usually me! ) to master a technique. 😂
It's a very beautiful painting😍💕 Admired
Thank you so much 😀 親切なコメントをありがとうございます。あなたの美しいビデオと心地よい声が大好きです。😍
Bức tranh rất sống động💕
Cảm ơn bạn cho ý kiến của các bạn. Hy vọng sẽ gặp bạn để có thêm hướng dẫn vẽ tranh 😎😎
As I watched Bob do it, i was picking up on ways on how to improve it and then I saw you do it. Good job. Although I would have added visible clouds behind the orange glow of the lighthouse which would contribute to picking up that glow. If not, the glow could not exist since the light would get lost in the empty sky. Let me know your thoughts. ❤
Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes, you're absolutely right. If there were no moisture in the air there would be no aura or light behind the lighthouse. But that's the beauty of being an artist. As Bob would say 'It's your world' 😉😉 So I imagined a little misty area for my lighthouse to glow against. Keep on watching and learning and painting your own version of Bob's classic scenes - Paul 😎😎😎😎
THANK U. I enjoy your work, continue making more videos. @@PaulRansonArt
This is PERFECTION. I love Bob but he really didn’t do a wonderful job of explaining the canvas prep on this one. I’ve tried it 4 times with varying levels of awful for the sky 😂 1st green clouds 2nd green lighthouse glow 3rd- completely unblended sky/lighthouse glow, and my last attempt i never even got past the sky.
This has to be the most difficult Bob Ross, hands down. Thank you so much for tackling it and making it possible!!!
I’m going to start this one tomorrow morning!
You are so welcome Mel. I hope this offering and all the mishaps will give you some comfort. Knowing that even with all my years of happy accidents I can still put my foot in it. Sending big art hugs to you and the family 🥰🥰
Did Bob Ross ever paint anything with evocative and dramatic lighting???
Hi - I don't remember seeing one from Bob but I've done a few seascapes over the years. Maybe I should add on to one of my darker scene's. Just love the videos on your channel. I didn't notice the subtle shifts at first but then I skipped forward and back and saw the changes. Really great videos 😎😎
A bit of feflection of the dull white in the sand would have worked .
On reflection .. I agree. I see so many things I would change on every painting. Then a week or two later the painting faries have been by and I can't remember what they were. They magically fix them all. 😎
That was delightful to watch!! And it came out Luvly-
The clouds and moon-
I wonder about the right side- water area- where it’s blank?
I haven’t seen Bobs version-
Can you consider more clouds and waves- seascapes- please-
What brand canvas do you use?
I do think the Ross brand is best- and the Fedrix is as well- however- Fedrix is expensive-
I’ve tried many good brands- and found Bobs canvases (besides Fedrix) are best- even when painting Alla prima - like Kevin Hill style- I’ve tried his canvas brand - (the weave of canvas is different not great at all) too many spots of canvas weave within them- and the weave is too harsh- has a vertical weave as well- the Ross surface is wonderful-
Hi Milania - I see so many wonderful question from you 😍 A lot to catch up on so I'll do my best to answer them in a couple of posts. If you see a ❤🧡💛 then I've read your post and will leave an answer on another video 😃. For canvases, yes I like Bob's canvases too ( they are made by Fedrix to Bob's spec ). I actually paint on my DIY practice paper canvases Here's a link to how I make them ruclips.net/video/Wbb9p3gdCHY/видео.html
I swear between 6:20 and 7:00 you added stars to your sky! But I never saw you do it and don't know how you did it! All the rest of the way through it looks to me like there are little scattered stars in the sky. Did you add those? Or is that just a trick of the light? I loved this one! I'm definitely going to try it.
Thank you for spotting my stary skies Tyler. I could claim it as a stroke of genius but the truth is it was all a happy accident. My DIY paper canvases have a rough surface and the black gesso lifts the fibres a little. This causes white to catch and make stars. But keep this as another secret. We don't want everyone to know I'm not a genius after all. 😉😊
@@PaulRansonArt I think it looks lovely! I was trying to figure out how to add it in!
I know you use 16x20 and it appears you are using it in the landscape position? Sometimes its hard to tell in the video. Thanks
Hi Tony - thanks for stopping by and watching. I now include the size and orientation at the start of my videos. I also include a still of the finished painting at the end of the video so folk can do a screen capture. Hope this helps 😃😃😎😎
I love your painting style, Paul. I've painted on and off for 25 years and I've achieved a few paintings that I was proud of, but mostly when I finish a painting I'm disappointed in my work, especially after seeing your work and watching Bob and other painters. I've just recently gotten back into my painting (maybe that's my problem, I go for long stretches and do not paint). What kind of surface do you paint on? It doesn't always look like a canvas. I'm looking for a way to practice on a reasonably-priced surface without skimping on quality. Any recommendations? Thank you.
I paint on paper! Here's a video all about how I save money and in some respects reduce the vast amount of room I'd need to store all my paintings studio.ruclips.net/user/playlistPLia0kTctmZ_cjdl5rlQRjnYgBkiTBQ6wv/edit - hope this helps
@@PaulRansonArt Thank you, Paul. I'm having trouble accessing that link for some reason. Is this a title on your channel?
Hi, just tried it and its the right link. It should take you to a play list on my channel for beginners to oil painting I have four videos all about getting started with oils Here's a direct link to the video ruclips.net/video/Wbb9p3gdCHY/видео.htmlsi=C7UhEoG_o5JSGwEg - hope this gets you there @@duanewhitaker5334
@@PaulRansonArt Thanks again, Paul. The link did work this time.
How many centimeters tall was your lighthouse
About 6 centimeters - but choose a size that fits with your own canvas size and ideas - Paul 😃😎
The light house has yellow light but orange reflections...it doesn't look right should been more yellow the reflection confuses me
I agree. Try as I might the glow kept on picking up the crimson colour. If I added more yellow the sky would go green. Sometimes we need to use that old fall back of artistic licence. 🙃
@@PaulRansonArt Great reply Paul!!
