painting along with bob ross is not as easy as you thought which is why you landed on this
video here lucky for you i'm going to give you the easiest bob ross painting to paint
along to as a brand new painter this has got all the elements that you want in a bob ross
landscape but they're so introductory and so easy that even you yeah you can dominate
it the first time and i'm personally going to go over the video tell you why it's easy
show you some extra little tips so that way you dominate it and you know what everything's just
going to click a little bit better so that way you build your confidence here we go
what is going on all you beautiful and creative people wild here now when it comes to doing the
easiest bob ross painting you can find it right here on youtube it's actually called distant hills
and it's from season 3 episode 5. now what makes it one of the easiest bob ross paintings is the
fact that it's a limited palette painting which means you spend less time cleaning your brushes
and more time painting and keeping your focus since we will be using less colors there is a
better chance of you not mud mixing which is going to save you a lot of heartache
in the long run now when you start off with this painting you actually only need to put a
very thin background layer of color the colors blend perfectly here which makes it way easier
for any brand new painter since it only requires very little paint for the rest of the painting
you will have an extremely easy time layering on top of your canvas again another win for any brand
new painter out there that struggles with bob ross paintings because as we know layers are tough
when it comes to creating the sky in this painting here you can't over blend in fact it's actually
going to help you and create a velvet soft sky that's going to look beautiful and that's easy
for any painter out there to accomplish now all you just have to make sure you do is that you
actually push all that color into the canvas making that background color very thin so that
way when you do put layers on top of it it's going to be a breeze when it comes to the clouds here
there are two types the first one is our palette knife clouds which are really easy to do because
all you have to do is take your color and scratch them in in a zigzag motion once that's done you
just have to feather them in with a light 2 inch brush and you know what that's it super easy even
you can do it if you're a brand new painter i can probably safely assume you struggle making
mountains with a palette knife the good news is you have the easiest bob ross mountain ever
in this tutorial here all you have to do is use your fan brush and remember to add a few little
bumps in the shape of a mountain this will really add to the realistic look so remember to do it
the other reason this mount is so easy is the fact that you have something that is not in this
painting that i know you struggle with and that is paint breaks you don't have to do that here
all you need to do with your mountain is take your brush go under the ridge of the mount and pull
it down into a nice fading shape and allow that mountain to be pushed back and there my friends
you have the easiest bob ross mountain that looks fantastic when you get to the mid ground you will
be introduced to mid ground clouds which again are super easy to do since it's basically light red on
white you won't contaminate your white paint much here just remember to swirl them in and then fluff
them with a dry brush at the end and trust me you're gonna have some awesome amazing looking
clouds hey wild cutting in here real quick if you like this type of content want to see more of it
you can do me a few things go down below leave me a comment hit that subscribe button or go above
and beyond become a youtube channel member or hit that super thanks in the bottom right
hand corner to show your true love for me but now back to the video a huge portion of this painting
is just creating rows and rows and layers and layers of distant trees and this is really easy
for any new painter to do just start with your mixture of brown that bob shows you how to make
and add white into it and start building your tree layers each layer you build that gets closer to us
just remember to add a little more brown to make it darker this is going to create the illusion of
more depth and it's the easiest way to build real strong depth and a perspective in your painting
okay you couldn't expect the whole entire painting to be a breeze it's a bob ross painting
and there's some tough parts and there is a cliff and a tree that can be difficult for new painters
but stick with me on this one because i'm going to show you how to make it super easy for you
since we use such little paint for pretty much the entire painting anytime you take any of your
thick layers or colors and apply it on top of your canvas it's going to stick extremely easy
the nice thing for new painters here is you can actually be very heavy-handed with your paint on
the cliff and tree since this painting creates a forced perspective there actually should be a lot
of detail in the two elements that are the cliff and tree so actually adding a lot of thick paint
is going to add more detail to those two elements which is going to add to that forced perspective
effect in the bottom corner on top of our cliff we actually have some grass but you know what
i'm not that big of a fan of it i don't think it looks that great so
how about we just skip it add a little bit of rock effect on top of our cliff by taking a mixture
of white and brown in your palette knife and just go slightly across it it's gonna add these
different depth effects of rocks and how it looks like it's got three dimension shapes to it i think
that actually looks a lot better but if you want to try the grass hey go ahead just make sure you
take a nice fatty paint to apply on top of that thick paint and you'll be good another reason
why this painting is so perfect for beginners is when you get to the tree highlights again
we put very little color on our canvas so when you take your nice fatty cream highlight color
of paint it's going to easily stick to your canvas this is going to be one of the easiest
ways to apply highlights to your tree that's going to look awesome this bob ross tutorial right here
is perhaps one of the easiest bob ross paintings to fall along and paint to for a brand new painter
