test to see if it was possible to create a Bob Ross style painting in GIMP using only Paintbrush, Airbrush and Smear tools.

See my new painting like Bob Ross series here:

  • I have a question... do u use a graphics pen for it and if you do what program did u install to use it with GIMP? my GIMP says i need to install a program to use my pen :(

    If you used a mouse then there aint nothin u cant do!! I think your absolutely brilliant i really do i watched this with mouth wide open. Just seeing the clouds develop i was like WO-HO-HOOOAH hahaaha

  • @mysticalwish I use a tablet PC which is like a laptop but I draw directly to the screen. You can use pretty much any tablet with GIMP. There's a section in the BRUSH SETTINGS that lets you turn on/set the pressure sensitivity of things.

    Good luck!

  • @ronnietucker :'( the mountains arnt working they dont look anythink like yours I cant find the right brush

  • @Chey4551 for mountains it's best to use a thin but wide brush. That way you can imitate the palette knife that's used by Bob (and others). Remember to vary the size of your white and blue marks for the snow :)

  • this.

    is.

    awesome.

  • @SirReallyNoOne Thanks!  I have two new videos showing how it's done, in real time. Check my channel for them.

  • @stills4589 there is indeed an UNDO in real painting. Many times Bob would change things like when he did his 'cabin-ectomy' :)
