  • When I paint on my highlights, I always pick up the darker base color back onto the brush - which then goes over the highlights I just put on. And this happens with every touch of the brush. What am I doing wrong?

  • @jordanwphoto Make sure to use a thicker ( undiluted with paint thinner ) paint for the base and use a slightly thinner consistency paint for the highlights. The thinner paint will stick (adhere) to the thicker layer and not lift up so much of the dark layer.

  • hmmm...you said you're publishing a book... can i purchase it online? cause im sort of interested to buy a copy....thanks! =)

  • @iLOVENATURE2011 Yes, you can purchase it at my website; wilsonbickford d o t com and I'll autograph it for you!

  • I like that YOU LIKE my tutorials!

  • Use thicker paint in the beginning, but you'll need to thin it down a little to get the highlights to "stick".

  • BOB ROSS COULD DO ALL OF THIS

    WITH 3 STROKES AND THE COLOR ORANGE

  • @applemvs It's a canvas panel, also known as canvas "board". I actually prefer them over traditional stretched canvas, but it's strictly a matter of personal preference.They're less costly and much easier to frame than traditional canvas. Like anything, you get what you pay for.There are really "cheap" varieties and better quality ones I recommend my "Signature" Wilson Bickford Canvas Panels, which are available now at Jerry's Artarama. They consist of an MDF (masonite) core and are archival.
