so you've been watching Bob Ross for quite a while and you're finally ready to paint along
with Bob but number one you don't know if you're gonna like painting with Bob for the long haul
and number two you don't have a lot of money at the moment and times are tough so what do you
do in this video right here we're gonna go over if painting with Bob is the right move and investment
for you when it comes to oil painting or more specifically hanging along with Bob Ross how do
you even know if you're gonna like it well from my personal experience it's going to take you about
five paintings to decide if you like painting with the wet and wet Style with oil paints and
panning along with Bob for some of you you will be addicted after your very first painting but for
the vast majority it's going to take a number of paintings to decide if you like it and five seems
to be the magic number because that's when things start to clicking now that we know it's going to
take you at least five paintings to decide if you like painting with Bob let's talk about supplies
that's going to get you through five paintings regardless of what you think of the Bob Ross
company I really recommend any new beginner out there start with the Bob Ross Master set
the reason is is you're going to get colors that are formulated for wet on wet plus you get all
the brushes tools and knives that you need plus the liquid base medium if you do this correctly
you will get through about five paintings no problem and you get all this for right around 75
USD now if you're a little tight on money you can trade down to the Bob Ross basic set but I really
recommend if you think you want to do Bob Ross painting just go with this right here it's not
too much more in cost when you paint with Bob Ross you use white paint for everything which is why I
recommend you get yourself a tube of Winsor Newton titanium white paint this stuff is OP when it
comes to clouds and paint breaks and snow so get this for only an extra 15 USD we need something
to hold your canvases and for that I recommend getting one of these foldable tabletop easels
when they're on sale they only cost about 10 USD speaking of canvases I recommend get yourself a
cheap canvas pack you can get 16 by 20 or 11 by 14. any canvas pack that comes with at least five
is going to work great and this costs right around 15 USD now we just need some paint thinner and any
paint thinner that's on sale we'll do as long as it's odorless and odorless paint thinner generally
cost you right around 10 bucks for a nice bottle all the supplies we just mentioned here is going
to cost you about a grand total of an investment of a hundred and twenty five dollars to see if
you like Bob Ross painting at all now for all the other supplies you can generally find that in your
um things to hold your thinner any glass container will do provided you clean it out before and after
and if you need any cleanup supplies paper towels and junk towels work fantastic the supplies we
just talked about is enough to get you through five Bob Ross paintings it can actually get you
about eight to ten paintings provided you do some of the paintings from Bob Ross that are easier and
don't require as many layers to know what those are you can check out the video in the top right
corner check out that video on the easiest Bob Ross tutorials because it'll make all this Supply
that you see here last longer and go farther and build confidence in you and the most important
thing is it helps me get more watch time all right you got all your supplies and you're ready to
start painting along with Bob Ross a tip to help minimize wasting your time and your paint is fine
too Bob Ross tutorials that you can paint back to back you're going to learn twice as much and
whatever you did on your very first painting you can take and apply it to your second painting and
trust me it's going to help you a lot number two is your paint's already out so you're not going
to be wasting as much paint and cleanup is going to be a lot easier because rather than cleaning
up two times you only have to clean up once which means you're going to save more in your time and
as we know your time is the most valuable thing oh okay here comes the truth part when it comes
to your paintings I'm gonna be honest with you your first painting will suck the good news is
your second painting will suck but it will suck less the third painting will actually look like
something but it will still suck the fourth will be an oh crap moment you have a decent
painting that looks pretty good but still 50 percent of it will be crap painting number five
is where everything starts to click together and you have somewhat of a decent painting that you
are proud of and that you want to show other people and you know what it makes you thirsty
to do another Bob Ross painting when it comes to painting with Bob Ross it does cost money
like we said it's about 125 USD to get started there are some trade down plays which you can
take a look in the top right corner on how to start painting like Bob Ross with cheaper gear
but I legitimately think this is the best way to start if you think you want to get into painting
with Bob Ross and that money it's a big number 125 is a lot to me but you have to remember this
is going to be an investment in you now if you think it's not an investment in you let
me spin it this way doing Bob Ross painting is an experience and to validate that experience
I say treat it like a date if you have a loved one one you got a wife or a husband or you got
a girlfriend or a boyfriend or a partner or you want to start dating someone or you want
to paint along with your friend or your kids or nieces and nephews this is a great experience
I'm from California and when I go on dates with girls it cost me a hundred dollars bare minimum
where I'm going for an extra 25 I can have an experience that I can share with someone
and it's gonna lead to Lasting memories and give me the possibility of opening up a new creative
outlet for me and the person I'm painting with just want to toss that little tidbit in there
for you because I do understand anything over a hundred dollars in this day and age is a lot
of money but I want to validate it to you on why it can be something awesome for you and
possibly someone that you share it with if you have any questions or concerns about getting
