if you've been painting along with bob ross for some time let me guess
you're a little tired of painting the same old thing the same old sky
clouds mountains trees landscape and water yeah we've been there it's all getting a
little boring which is why in this video right here i'm gonna give you the top five most unique
and different paintings from bob ross that are gonna allow you to get a little bit of a challenge
but also allow you to experiment and have some fun this list is a good one so here we go
number five shades of gray season two episode four this is one of the most unique limited palette bob
ross landscape oil paintings you're probably asking why well the entire painting is done with only two
colors gray and white this painting right here is inspired by a person that bob met that told him he
can't paint because he's color blind you know just recently i was doing a demonstration in a mall and
i had a man come to me and he said bob i can never paint because i'm color blind all i can see is
gray tones so i thought today we'd do a picture in gray just to show you that anyone can paint
bob truly proves in this one that anyone can paint and that's what separates this one out and makes
it so unique and different bob builds a lot of depth and contrast with a limited palette which
can be extremely difficult however bob as always makes it look easy if you're tight on paint or
colors literally take a look at this one because bob shows you you don't need much to make awesome
art number four golden rays of sunshine season 28 episode four this is pretty much an all gesso
painting with a little bit of color flare added in at the ending you get to play with all three
basic gessos here black white and gray this one is really fun to do you get to be loose with a paper
towel basic brushes and a sponge brush to throw in a background painting that consists of basically
just a light source different colored tree lines and a foreground forest path once all your gesso
is dried and yes it needs to be dry before you put on your liquid clear and your colors all on
top just want to make sure i get that out of the way because i get this question a lot you can then
get to work on blending easy to do and unique gradients across the entire gesso painting that
makes it stand out bob even makes this one stand out and pop a little bit more by adding in these
god light rays that peek out from your tree line this one's not only unique and different but you
know what it's actually pretty easy to paint so you know what go ahead and give it a try number
three western expanse season six episode 11. western expanse is a full palette knife painting
which is pretty rare on the joy of painting series there's only a handful and to be honest i actually
can only think of two but you know what i'm sure somebody in the comment section will correct me
gotta love those keyboard warriors painting entirely with a palette knife is a unique and
let's say humbling experience it's really hard to get colors to blend without turning them into
shades of brown or black this one makes a list for the sheer fact of all the thick and textured
layers bob creates generally with wet and wet painting you push or blend your layers and colors
into the canvas however this one you have to build up with every thick layer you create making this
painting here not only one with a ton of texture but this one will literally pop off your canvas
with a 3D effect and it's awesome but one thing you need to know i hope you have a ton of paint
because you literally will go through a butt ton of paint but i guess that makes it kind of fun too
but hey just letting you know can be a little expensive number two daisy delight season 11
episode three okay so you want something different from bob well here's something different from bob
this one caught my eye due to the fact that one of the main colors is brown accented with contrasting
colors which is pretty different but when you look at the brown you're gonna notice something that is
weird there's this different effect going on when you see all these weird patches
and sparse spots you notice that bob did something completely different that i haven't seen him do
on any other bob ross tutorial he literally takes his paint thinner and sprays and flicks it onto
the canvas which is going to eat away at all the color and liquid clear on the canvas in my
personal opinion it's hard to tell if i actually like this effect due to the low resolution of
the video but you can't argue this is a unique approach from bob and i actually don't remember
him doing this in any other video i've seen him use paint thinner on the canvas but when it comes
to flicking and throwing with a fan brush this is a new one another reason this one is on the list
i think this might be the only painting that actually has flowers painted on it from bob
and right there that is something you rarely see and if i remember correctly i actually
think bob even says this is different and very rare for him tell you what let's do something a
little different i normally don't do this but i'm going to today one common complaint i get
about bob ross's paintings and videos is they're all pretty similar you got a lot of the same sky
clouds mountains trees landscape and water i get that it's tough it's tough which is why i wanted
to bring this one to your attention it's very different but it's not only just different it's
unique and it has different ways to show you how to paint hey wild cutting in here right before we

number one so here we go number one oriental falls season 25 episode six i don't even know
where to start with this one just saying it's different for the sake of uniqueness isn't enough
it's truly on another level and that is what makes it great this painting right here has a strong
watercolor vibe going on with it that bob creates using thinner and different rubbing techniques
it's also a very minimalistic painting that has these strong contrasting lines and shapes but
also has these just soft colors floating around in it it's actually quite mesmerizing when you take
a moment to look at it this painting right here isn't a traditional bob ross landscape painting
it might not be to your liking but this one is worth a watch so you can just see and learn
wet on wet oil painting be used in a different technique that goes far beyond the traditional
ways the real reason i like this one and why i put on my list is one of the most unique and different
and somewhat challenging one is because bob literally lets you know it's okay to play around
on the canvas it's okay to experiment it's okay to do something different because you never know
what you will discover and that right there is a lesson every artist should learn i really hope
you try this because it'll teach you creativity and allow you to express yourself from all of us
here i'd like to wish you happy painting and god bless my friend when it comes to finding something
that you think is different and unique you know what it's all personal opinion but i would love
