I loved your wildlife “twist”! It really added that extra something special to your beautiful painting. I’m surprised Bob didn’t include more wildlife in his works, since he had such a big heart for all of God’s little creatures 😌
Yes Kerri - Bob did try wildlife and portrait but it wasn't his thing he once mentioned on a video. He said he'd left it to others who would do it better and stick to what he knew and loved. But had he lived longer who knows what he might have done - enjoy my twists and have a great week - Paul 😃😍😎
Your intro MADE ME LAUGH! Fun and smart to share what many of us think about when painting. The feather is inspired! Yep! I call it over thinking. Ahhh! a little deer! Clever 😍 Thank you for sharing Paul! 💕
Great painting and very sorely needed, I find myself NOT painting at all because I don't know what to paint, and the thought of getting everything out to do it just seems daunting and discouraging. This one looks like fun, so even if I screw it up I'll probably enjoy the process. I'll try not to over "analisalisalisize". Sounded like a word to me 🤷🏻♂️🤓😜
hahahaha - yep the over analising is a pain in the butt! Oneday I'll say every line spot on and it won't sound right! Oh well back to the drawing board - now go paint something simple just for the fun of it. If not get a few pencils and sketch what evers in front of you. Any art is good art if it inspired you. 😃😎
Art is a roller coaster of emotions. We can be on cloud 9 one minuet and in the depths of despair the next. Just remember to have fun ... even when you feel like throwing it out of the window! - Paul 😃😃😎😎@@Metalgods74
I loved Benny Hill even if his humour was a little near the knuckle 😂 My intro is obviously based on personal experience. So your in good company - I think? Say 'hi' to Mrs Angel - she might see more of these artsist hangups as time goes by 😃😎Just have a bottle of suds on the chiller 😃😎
Hi Paul, couldn't make it live yesterday...but checked it today. Its so good and you're really making process with your video skills 😊. Top! Thanks for this nice painting
Thanks so much Ulrike 🥰 I try and make a better video each week. But as its just me doing it I'm always short of time. So I really appreciate your king comments. Now what will I dream up for this week? - oh I have an idea 😍😎😃
I painted this and it turned out beautiful. I put an Iowa white tail deer in it since thats where i live. Thanks for helping me become a better painter.
Quel plaisir de vous regarder faire ! Une vraie leçon. J'adore ! Vous mêlez humour et art et j'aime ça. Merci. PS : merci pour le renseignement, grâce à vous j'ai compris comment profiter de vos cours en français !!!! ❤
My paintings always morph into what IT wants to be! Thank you for sharing your experiences in painting and showing us it’s ok to have a plan turn into something differently, and being flexible is best. Freedom in painting is one of the joys of painting for sure. I totally wrote down your recipes for gorgeous colors. Happy painting, indeed! Thanks Paul! Enjoy your week. Being an artist has never been easy for me, but it’s worth it when I relax because it’s F U N! ☺️🖌️🎨
Hi Stephanie - wow so nice to hear how your journey is evolving. I think quite a few folk give up too soon because of the pressure we apply to ourselves. In a world full of instant satification and now AI generated perfection a little hamanity is whats needed. I leave in all my mistakes just to show its OK to have fun and still make a nice painting ! Have a great week Stephanie 😃😍😎
Totally agree Richard. Some of my best paintings start out with a happy accident. Plus those happy accidents we see today magically dissapear a week later when the painting fairies call by to work their magic 🤔🤗😍😎
Haha that beginning was a great skit, even I can feel like that sometimes, but we just need to get over that hurdle and just enjoy the process and look forward to the end result 😊👍
Brilliant Paul 👏 lovely colours and that's me as well throwing my toys out the pram when things don't go as I planned, however in this particular painting yay !!! lots of places to hide my happy accidents, I will try the deer if it dosent look convincing its a Bush yes thats it a Bush lol 😅😂 🐈🐈⬛🦮🦌
Thank you Sylvia - I guess thats why I like landscapes = just stick a tree over it and i'll be fine! Maybe that explains why most of my portraits end up as forests!🥰😎
@PaulRansonArt haha well at least you paint portraits, and I'm sure they are wonderful(the last time and it will be my only time,) I attempted to paint a portrait it turned out like a Picasso, now we could argue was that a good or bad thing ? I think it was a complete and humiliating disaster!! Lol 🤣😂 so please Paul keep up your excellent landscape tutorials 👏 👌 they are such a help to a beginner like myself , see you next Sunday 🐈🐈⬛🦮
I'm so glad I found your page. Your voice is so soothing and your paintings are beautiful. I am a new oil painter. I am struggling to use the fan brush for the bushes. In my opinion, it was awful. I tried twice and it was very frustrating. Can you make a video on using the different brushes? This video was quite dark to really see the technique. Thanks.
Hi Sharon - thanks for dropping by and saying 'hi' I have made some video a while ago that feature the brushes and how I use them. Here's one of them ruclips.net/video/sT5IX0SDcco/видео.html This is all about painting bushes and the some mistakes and fixes. Now, keep in mind some thechniques need a lot more practice. It took me a long time to master my brushes - fans being a pet hate for some time. So give yourself time to learn and experiment. Hope this help - Paul 😃😃🥰🥰😎😎
Do you use bob ross thinners or zest it, or something different as you paint? Both links are in the video description, but they're never referenced as something that you're using during the video. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
Hi - great question - I changed to using Zest-it some years ago as I prefered the lemon zest smell. Even though the Bob Ross Odourless thinners is of course odourless when fresh it will start to smell a little in use. I always wash my brushes outdoors under a covered sideway never indoors. Top tip: I rarely use a just washed brush when I'm painting. I have several of each size and switch to clean dry brush to avoid an un-happy accident. Especially when painting with Liquid clear as the thinners causes a reaction that can't be stopped. Hope this helps 😃😎
Thanks! I bought your recommended lepro led light and master cleaner! :) I think I'll have to buy the zest it next before I can start my painting journey. How do you clean your bob ross 1 and 2 inch brushes with the master cleaner - does that normally get used after your zest it - and then you let it dry in? I saw I need to use water with the master cleaner to create a lather, but elsewhere some say that the larger bob ross brushes are damaged by water - so now I'm not so sure! 😅
Hi - yes its a little confusion when your just starting out. So here's my round up of things. Yes, my experience id never to wash your bigger (1",2" etc) in water. The bristles absorb water and swell making your brush look more like a flu brush and totally useless for oils. They can be bound with a shop towel and a rubber band and left to dry and reset but they never work as well. Smaller brushes like a liner brush can be washed with oild masters soap and water. They don't absorb water. Also some fans and filberts wash out well too. But I only do this routine when my brushes are really heavily stained and clogged with old paint. Most of the time just use odourless thinners (not white spirits) Hope that clears things up 😃😃😎😎@@genericuser9760
Thank you! I've followed along with three of your videos now and it's been great 🎉 I've sent you some coffees as a thanks! Unfortunately your affiliation link for zest-it was broken, and there was no links for the individual BR paints or BR gesso - and I wanted to help with the commission there! My throat has hurt in the days after painting and brush cleaning, but it would be super insightful seeing your room's ventilation setup and the cleaning process used in a video to pick up any tricks there 😅 Everything's so tricky when starting out :)
Hi Alan - wow thank you for the coffee cup donations. Its a great help with the purchase of more materials for the channel. I'm self funded so its really appreciated. Thank you also for the heads up on the broken links. Sometimes the stockist change their listings without notice. I'll start finding the new ones for the paints and thinners 😃😃@@genericuser9760 For ventilation I paint near an open window - always cracked a little. I also have a simple extractor fan to flick on if the smell gets too much. I think I need to do a bits and pieces video soon. Then I can do clips of my set up, storage, brush cleaning etc. Its on my list to do now!
Great question! - Well the obvious answer would be to watch all my videos! But give some special time to my playlist called 'Getting Started with Oils (GSWO) I cover all the essential and some money saving tips for a new to oils artist. Give them a watch and then get painting. Start with one of my 'Anyone can painting this' videos. Super simple and very fixable- Paul 😃😎

@@PaulRansonArt definitely will try. Thanks for your work on the channel. It's what keeps me coming back to those brushes when I feel discouraged 🙏🏻

Good evening! As always, I watch you and admire the result, thank you very much
Thank you so much for your support. It great to know my little channel reaches so many lovely people 🤗🤗🤩🤩😎😎
OMG! Paul that opening was as good as any Benny Hill skit ever was! LMAO! Truth be told, that’s exactly how I do! Just ask Mrs Angel.

Love the colors and very original Paul. So enjoyable to watch. Art hugs. 💕🤗🌈
Thanks so much 😊 Yovette - now what to do next 😃
I really enjoy your videos, and I got a kick out of your "tricky deer." Keep the surprises coming!
Thank you Dianne - its a neat trick - maybe try it yourself 😃😎
I painted this and it turned out beautiful. I put an Iowa white tail deer in it since thats where i live. Thanks for helping me become a better painter.
That brilliant Jon. I'm delighted to hear my channel is helping. There's lots more to come too. Happy Painting - Paul 😃😃😎😎
OMG, in tears laughing at your into, and so true! Such a great reminder to not get so wrapped up in the outcome, thanks Paul! ❤️
Hahaha Kathy - thanks for stopping by and watching. I have quite a bit of fun with the videos so what shall I do for the next one😃😃🤔🤔🤩🤩
Such a beautiful picture! And such an important message, to enjoy the proccess of painting ❤😊
It really is! Its sometimes easy to forget its the reason why we started the journey - Paul 😃😎

When something does not come out perfectly take a good look at it. It just might make your mistake into a happy accident! Keep up the great work!

Hi Damo - its so easy to fall into and the frustration is enough to stop anyone from picking up a brush. 😃😃😎😎
I absolutely love your paint videos. I have learned so much about painting from you. Thank you
You are so welcome Marquita - I enjoy making them so here's to many more😍😃😎
You would have made a superb art teacher. Enjoy your videos very much.
Thank you Jon - I taught face to face classes for 20+ years so hope it carries over onto video OK 😃😎

Hey paul
I am about to start out my Oil Painting Journey !
What would be your best tip for the Absolute Beginner!?
Great question! - Well the obvious answer would be to watch all my videos! But give some special time to my playlist called 'Getting Started with Oils (GSWO) I cover all the essential and some money saving tips for a new to oils artist. Give them a watch and then get painting. Start with one of my 'Anyone can painting this' videos. Super simple and very fixable- Paul 😃😎
very funny Paul ..
Thank you Corinne - my silly sense of humour but that's how some of my paintings begin .... and end!😃😃😍😍😎😎
Over analyzing
Ah the paralysis of analysis - a common artist challenge 😃
