- Giving it a little bit of detail in the front,
he hasn't even done this.
Eat your heart out Bobby.
(upbeat music)
I was an art major in college,
but I have never taken a formal painting class.
Most of the painting that I do is digital painting,
and it's a little more flat and graphic and bold colors,
where you're not really like mixing or blending.
I have seen some of his videos in passing,
I've never watched one of his videos in its entirety.
I do love that he brings art to the masses
and at least he's like trying
to teach people the fundamentals of painting
in a way that's really accessible.
I think I'll be able
to elevate a Bob Ross painting a little bit.
(dings)
- We have to make a decision right off today,
where's your horizon gonna be?
(classical music)
- Oh God, I did pee yellow
and not like this beautiful creamy yellow he's got.
(classical music)
- Now with a clean dry brush,
I'm gonna begin blending this entire sky together.
- Oh God, blending.
Okay, merging down everything that I painted,
and here we go, using my Photoshop knowledge,
we're gonna add a Gaussian blur.
There we go, there we go.
Beautiful.
(classical music)
- Let's have a little footy hill back here
in the distance somewhere,
and all I'm gonna do, is take this brush and tap.
(clicking)
- Oh I think his is, alright (beep), starting a new layer.
Okay.
(classical music)
Um, let's try and do a paint brush brush.
Let's see.
Oh that's not the move, that's not the move at all.
(classical music)
- Now we have to make another big decision.
Maybe there's another plain or another layer of land,
that comes right down in front of it.
(classical music)
- I'm losing my ability to be quippy,
because now I'm like actually trying.
(laughs)
(classical music)
- Maybe there's a little clump of trees, live right in here.
(classical music)
- Yeah, there we go.
That looks cute.
Okay, now let's do this (beep) tree.
- Now maybe there's a happy little evergreen tree,
who lives right there, right there.
We don't have anything but happy trees.
So work back and forth.
Now see how this dark color shows up against that light.
(classical music)
- Oh that's beautiful.
Oh yeah that's exactly what I wanted to happen.
Perfect.
Actually, I'm not gonna lie,
I'm learning some things from him today.
(laughs)
- Look at that, wish it was that easy to build a house.
(classical music)
We'll have some fun,
let's do a big evergreen tree on the other side.
- We're doing another tree.
God (bleep).
(classical music)
I'm just gonna call bull (beep) on a little bit of this,
because the sun is setting behind him,
but the tree is getting lit from this side,
there's an imaginary sun somewhere in this equation.
- We'll sign this one.
Sincerely hope you enjoyed it.
I look forward to seeing you again next time.
- We're gonna sign it in a very garish color down
in the bottom corner, just so people know it's me.
I don't normally paint landscapes,
and I would not call myself,
the most gifted landscape painter,
but he empowers you to make you feel like you can.
