Bought this with the sale this weekend on bob Ross.com and while obviously it hasn’t had time to process and ship I’m concerned because it says order completed on the website. Is this normal for them? Haven’t ordered before.
I can't find it in myself to put paint on the canvas. I was fairly prolific half a decade ago. Ive been watching hours of tutorials again but I guess I'm just so hung up on not loving the results. It's not cool, I've made paintings my relatives proudly display in their homes! I've even just considered going abstract and just playing with colors. What gets you motivated to give it a go even if you know it might be a challenge?
There’s a great post listing the colors, brushes, etc that you need to follow a Bob Ross video on this sub, I know. However, I’ve read that I shouldn’t just get an “official” Bob Ross set of paint because the guy scammed Ross’s family or something like that.
Also, trying to buy 12 specific tubes of paint for 8 dollars each is pricey, and trying to cross reference the colors in a set of paints is tough.
Are there any specific recommendations of a set of paints with the 12 ‘standard’ colors? Maybe something I can get on Amazon or somewhere online? I can find the thinner, brushes, etc no problem, but I’m overwhelmed trying to find the paints! It’s for a Christmas gift for my wife.
Thanks!

A nice pair of hooters 😋
Back on the canvas after a frustration hiatus. Lesson learned: get back on the horse quicker. Cuz this crap is FUN!! Thx to Paul Ranson for the inspo.
I haven’t painted for awhile and started to get back into. I’m rusty that’s for sure.

Lately it’s been pink trees or similar style or a title saying I’m a new artist, hope you enjoy. Just screams bot or karma farming to me. Anyone else picking up on this? Is it just a coincidence?
