[MJafro]

@GaryGarrett Should I paint the canvas black and let it dry ?..... I'm afraid to do this, I might destroy the entire painting ... pls reply... It is the first time I paint on a canvas. Is it possible to do this with acrylic paints?

[ehrinn2009]

@GaryGarrett I am BRAND NEW to painting. i am not a good drawer so i have no skills at all with that kind of stuff. I aM very impressd with Bob Ross. I AM GOING TO TRY A NEW HOBBY!! i am better at photography. I have a eye for capturing wildlife photos. So that is why i like Ross, his paintings are nature scenes I am going to purchase the workshop dvd collection he did. do you have any pointers for a beginer. What types of paints, brushes etc? Thanks

[juanxocol]

[Cre8iveSignWorks]

cheers

[chantico221]

wow amazing job love the contrast!! : )

[1584ninz]

as i've watch all your video i admire it really!

[KayZahn]

thanks. I really like to watch time lapse painting. I think that's why Bob Ross was so well loved. He did it start to finish in one sitting. I'm trying to paint ALONG with Bob from his early episodes to current. Then I'm video taping and blogging. Check em out if you are so inclined. thanks, Kay

[davis24179]

[gvadan]

[GaryGarrett]

thanks for watching

[Rusti10]

You do Bob Ross proud. He was such an amazing talent. It's wonderful that his teachings live on in so many. Thank you!

[allenda77]

This is amazing, and yet you make it look so simple :) If/When I make an attempt i'll post as a response if thats ok.

[GaryGarrett]

It IS simple... just let it flow, stay loose and it all comes together! YES, PLEASE post yours as a response... love to see it. I know it will turn out well! thanks for watching!

[leanseed]

love the frame ...great with the painting

[1UNkNOwNSuSPeCT]

yea nice simple techniques and a nice painting overall i didnt know u could get black gesso

[danieldyment]

I love it in the frame!

It is just amazing!

[raybaboon]

Why would u pay tribute to Bob Ross?

[GaryGarrett]

Simple: ANY TV artist is good for ALL artist as it raises PUBLIC awareness of art and artists. Bob Ross' techniques look simple, but can be difficult for many thus they often have a greater appreciation for the accomplishments of other artists. Also, who else do you know who can paint an 18x24 painting, with good composition, color and texture... and do it within 24 minutes time after time?

So, if you sell your art to the public, Bob has helped you. That's my view, thanks for watching.

[eduardofava]

What an artist! Beautiful!

[GaryGarrett]

thanks, you should try this... it's fast & fun! thanks for watching

[ble86n]

Gary! That is awesome! I'll have to try it!And thanks for the detailed info;)

[relixhaze]

nice painting and great tribute.

[224clb22]

I LOVE it!!! It doesn't seem fair that you got that talent and I got an angry son! LOL Seriously...one very talented guy and your tribute to Bob Ross...super. :D

[GaryGarrett]

I too had an angry son. But after a change in my reactions, offering my wisdom as a caring friend instead of DAD, now, he too has changed and our relationship has grown to be very nice. Also, please give this a try! just follow what I (and Bob Ross) did with the papertowel, brushes and fine brushes and you too can do this... it's easy! thanks for watching!

[disciple254]

O.O

.............i am soooooo jelous:)

[jfrobb18]

That was amazing, you make it look so easy. I would lvoe to be as good as you.

[GaryGarrett]

he secretr is that is IS EASY!! Try it, and I am sure you too will have great success.... and it's so fast!!

[LadyAyra]

Wow, the painting is lovely and the frame is perfect!

[GaryGarrett]

Thanks. I had that frame a while and it did not want anything with color in it. Thanks for watching

[djrich4]

wow. i think if all 2,500 people looking at this video were expecting a painting of elvis on black velvet.....they almost got what they were looking for. gag.

[GaryGarrett]

in my best ELVIS imatation.... "Thankyouvarrrrymuch" ... "The painting has left the building" ... LOL

[djcchs2004]

Good job for black & white.

[Msh3erOntha]

Its WwooowW ..

Will done I will try paint like this.

Iam frome Medel East Ilove your work

ceep on ^_^

[GaryGarrett]

Thank you... love to see your work there on the other side of the earth! Thanks for watching

[PuppyZwolle]

This vid is 53 seconds. Normally 1 second is 25 frames.

5 frames every 30 seconds. 5 frames is 1/5 of a second. So 53*5= 265 intervals of 30 seconds = aprox 130 minutes. Little over 2 hours of filming/painting.

I must have made an error somewhere (beside my spelling).

Amazing result I will try this as soon as I can get my hands on black gesso. Seems in short supply around here.

[GaryGarrett]

Hi, you've struck the very problem I noticed! I never got the numbers to match my production time relative to the wall clock. I was told by the saleman that in INTERVAL mode, the camera shot 5 frames every 30 sec. I found the manual on line, which told me that... in fact... it's .5 seconds (1/2 second) every 30 seconds. At NTSC (TV video 30 frames per second),therefore 1 sec video = 1 min realtime. 24 sec actual should equal 24 minutes realtime, but the camera loses 8 min/ per actual hour.

[GaryGarrett]

ran out of words on that reply... the actual time lapse portion of this video is 24 seconds, so in using the calculations from my last comment here, and taking into account that the camera timing is off a bit, it looks like it took about 23 minutes to paint... proves that TIME FLIES WHEN YOU ARE HAVING FUN, as my perception at the time as only about 10-15 minutes... LOL anyway thank you for your comment and urging me to solve the delima of the time-lapse/realtime relationship.

[pyramiaou]

I came upon you because of your comments on SmeckDotCom's last picture - love this painting - must watch more of your videos. Would you have a look at my channel?

[bullerwell]

wow pretty cool.......awsome frame as well. i have over 50 original paintings and no frames. God they are so hard to come by.

[RickPacker]

Really cool painting!. enjoyed your video also.

[artettina]

wow, that frame realy made that pop! star star star star star, smile.

[GaryGarrett]

Thanks, I tried a lot of different paintings in it and finally came to the conclusion that it had to be a no-color project. Thanks again for watching

[artettina]

Well it realy worked out!

[retta2587]

Do you use liquid clear (black or white) on your paintings? I got a Bob Ross book as a gift and he uses it to make the brush flow esp. for tree branches and fine brush work.

[GaryGarrett]

Hi Retta, I paint in acrylics... so my "liquid clear" is either water or an acrylic gel medium. I use water to thin my acrylics to flow for branches and thin lines. I just do not have the physical room for the drying of oil paints. I hope this helps, thanks for watching. GG

[Buckpenn]

I didn't know there was black gesso. I had only heard of white gesso. The black is ideal for space scenes.

[cuttysbaby]

Wow, this is probably my favorite. I agree with the other person commenting on your paintings these are great and I enjoy watching them over and over.

[GaryGarrett]

Thank you for the very nice words. I am enjoying personal painting again after more than 35 years of commercial work.

[retta2587]

Once again...super awesome. I watch your videos over and over! Quite an inspiration for an art student or artiste alike!

[GaryGarrett]

You MUST try this...it's amazingly easy and rewarding!

[GaryGarrett]

Thank you for the kind words.

[GaryGarrett]

it's SOOOOO FAST!!! Gotta remember it for next year's Christmas presents!!! LOL
