I Tried To Paint Like Bob Ross

Bob Ross is a figure well recognised in the art community, and in today’s video, I’m going to attempt a scene similar to his work in my own style.

I love all of the subtle colors you added to your mountains without changing the value. Brilliant.

[@rjsongwriter]

I genuinely appreciate your mixture of confidence and humility. You seem human and approachable, as do your paintings. I really like that. Pretentious artists turn me off big time.

[@colleywhissonartist]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed this weeks video.

Was waiting for the big happy tree in the foreground.

[@colleywhissonartist]

Although it was inspired by Bob Ross, I don’t want to directly imitate his work; this painting was made in my own approach.

[@carlbecker3961]

Good painting and a good example you are - especially in the use of the bigger brushes. I do a bit of plein air work in the western Cape SA, we have magnificent mountain ranges. I also am a big admirer of Streeton. BTW, the silver part of the brush is called the Ferrule....there's a name for everything! keep it up Mr Whisson...

[@colleywhissonartist]

I visited Capetown in 2018 and was thoroughly impressed by your spectacular scenery.
Thanks for the clarification, and thanks for watching.

[@Max-dd7du]

You have a gentle nature like Bob, and it’s relaxing seeing you paint.

[@colleywhissonartist]

Thank you.

[@cindyoverall8139]

Colley, you are true gentleman. And you are kind to Bob Ross.
I wish he could have seen your painting. Your work is excellent.

[@lisasremnant]

Watching you paint is similar to watching Bob. You have a different style, but the ease with which you paint is the same.

[@colleywhissonartist]

Thanks Lisa, glad you enjoyed it.

[@JimLongCO]

It's always a joy to watch you paint Colley

[@colleywhissonartist]

Thanks James.

Great painting demo again, can I ask what is your thought process behind placing the sky colour in the later stages? Ive seen a lot of painters place this in first... Really enjoy your videos. Thanks

[@colleywhissonartist]

Thanks Geoff, it’s so I don’t muddy the colour/value.

[@curly379]

It was helpful to see you add in the darker tones later in the foreground.... beauty little painting, really lovely! I know you've mentioned them before Colley, but what are those brushes that are somewhat thinner? I like brushes that aren't too thick. Cheers!

[@arachosia]

I wish I could find brushes like he uses, but I’ve never seen any that thin here in the US. Maybe they are only available in Australia.

[@colleywhissonartist]

If you’re referring to the black handle brushes I use, they’re a Rosemary & Co: Eclipse Extra Long Comber 1/4 & 3/4 inch, and they’re definitely available for delivery in the US. (Not 100% sure on the cost for shipment)

[@curly379]

@@colleywhissonartist That's the ones! Thanks very much... I've got Rosemary brushes delivered to New Zealand before, so I'll give those a try. 😊

[@Mabel461]

I really don’t think, that Bob Ross was an artist.

[@billrodiger7697]

How do you define who is and who is not an artist.

[@colleywhissonartist]

I define an artist anyone with creative intent, whether you connect with their work or not is ultimately subjective; I try to see the best in my fellow artists work.
