How to paint like Bob Ross

How to paint like Bob Ross is the theme of this page with many videos that instruct you how to paint mountains and trees the easy way using his style of painting. Katherine Liberoni teaches you on her youtube videos how to create a cabin in a landscape painting and realistic looking trees. You will find many video demonstrations on the technique made famous by the artists and instructor Bob Ross.

Step 1 - The equipment

When you are starting out with oil painting with the Bob Ross wet-on-wet technique then I recommend the master paint set.

All the colours and paints brushes you need are inside.

You will also need the Bob Ross odourless thinner and bucket. These are used to clean your brushes.

You will also need an easel and a canvas to paint on !
Any easel and canvas will be fine

Step 2 - Preparing the canvas

Liquid white is included in the master set, you can also buy a tub separately. This is essential to mix colours easily on the canvas.

You will apply a thin layer/coat to the entire canvas surface. It is important it is still wet when you begin to paint.

Bob talks about the layer in the video below. I also recommend this scene for beginners.
