When I feel unsure about a painting I've done, if something needs to be changed, I usually look at it in a mirror. Then I get a different perspective that helps me find what I need to do.

(It's all a matter of taste, but it's a way to make myself happy with the oil spill 😅)

Do you have any other advice or “go to’s” in matter of judging your own work? 🖼️☺️

Hello, semi new painter here... Haven't painted in a long time, I'm still just a beginner and mainly work with acrylics. Been watching a lot of Bob on YouTube and he's inspired me to pick up the brush again. Trouble is, oil paint is a little out of my budget right now, and admittedly, I'm just a bit nervous, having never worked with oil paints. That being said, I apologize if this question has been asked before but could I try painting along with Bob, using acrylics? Has anyone here tried? If so, what were the results?

EDIT: Just scrolled down a wee bit and saw some folks using acrylics. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I suppose the question now is, do I just use paint retarder to keep the paint wet for blending in any case?

Hello everyone. I started painting a little over a year ago, and I can't get enough of it. I've gotten myself and my supplies to a place where I'm generally satisfied, but one thing remains subpar.

My thinner jar and brush cleaner is only 6.6 oz, and I struggle to fit the 1 inch and 2 inch brushes in the opening to clean them. Does anyone have any recommendations for a better/bigger one, or instructions on how to make one like Bob Ross had?

Would love to know the brush type you use to create trees and bushes. Spent boat load of time to create bushes and trees. Work in progress..

Actually pretty happy to move on to a different painting now lmao what yall think about the 5th and final!?

Critiques welcomed as always!

Took a little time to go down to the beach like someone suggested. I didn’t paint there but I took in the views for about an hour and then and went and painted this. What do yall think about day four?

Need some advice....what am I doing wrong here and tips to fix? Attempted Bill Alexander Autumn refelections. Got trees looking decent but the bottom is hot garbage. ( dark part and bushes)

My instinct days to do less dark paint and make more diffrent highlight colors.

Any tips welcome.

Bob Ross’ technic in “my own way” 🤷‍♂️👨🏻‍🎨🎨

Been practicing a lot, probably time to move to a better substrate but I’m having fun with it.

Two canvases. Made with Bob Ross inspiration and techniques 🤗

Happy little painting
