Are you a brand-new painter and you don't
have a lot of money to spend on expensive
Bob Ross paints well you're in luck in this
video right here I'm going to show you an
awesome alternative that works just as well
doesn't cost as much money and it's going
to be perfect for any beginner out there let's
go!
Hey it's me it's wild coming out to you to
help you with your creative Adventures first
time here need a little bit of hand-holding
or inspiration you came to the right spot
hit that subscribe button down below and tick that bell so you know when my videos go live for you one question
I get asked all the time is there any good
alternatives to these Bob Ross paints you
know what yeah there is Winsor Newton makes
a great alternative that works just as well
and hey it cost less money to know before
you stop watching the video there are pluses
and minuses from switching from the Bob Ross
paint over to the Winsor Newton paint and
in fact I recommend not using some of the
colors so let me go into it so that way you
know exactly what to get so as you go forward
with your painting you're going to have an
easier time transitioning from these colors
or perhaps even getting the most out of your
Bob Ross paints okay if you're a beginner
painter out there and you're just starting
on your adventures with wet and wet I still
recommend going with a Bob Ross painting is
why these tubes and paints are specially formulated
to work with the wet on wet technique that
way things will blend properly and that way
things will stick on top of other things properly
when you put your something like a Winsor
Newton paint it actually becomes a lot more
difficult to blend and payer cuz they're not
specially formulated for the wet on wet technique
but you can still get them to work so if you're
just starting off I would still recommend
Bob Ross paint but lets say you you've done a couple of paintings and got a few you're starting
to feel better when I recommend switching
over to Winsor Newton paint however there
are some key differences with the colors and
techniques that I would love to show you would
start off with a big daddy of them all titanium
white now Bob Ross always says that his pants
are firm and that is more or less true however
as a years of going on Winsor Newton a lot
more firmer Bob Ross me which is why titanium
white from Winsor Newton is excellent for
anytime you have to put Snow on mountains it naturally
breaks beautifully as you come across where
is using titanium white from the Bob Ross
company is a lot more difficult which is probably
why a lot of you struggle now hey guess what
he trade off here what you do firm paint
that'll be beautiful and mountains in heck
yes even clouds you make them this painting
right here is very hard to layer or make
snow with because it's so firm and it doesn't
flow you want to ask us what the Bob Ross
paint is a lot easier to do that with hey
you want to add details in your water or perhaps
you want to make your ground flow with snow
yeah Bob Ross paint is a lot easier for that
so pick and choose what paint you need to
use depending on the situation speaking of
getting colors to stick on top of colors a
lot of Bob Ross paintings you add highlights
to trees and bushes between you're going to
be using cadmium yellow in Bob Ross cadmium
yellow is actually really easy to get to stick
with highlights and Winsor Newton cat is very
difficult why again because this is really
firm between you're going to have to fatten
it up by adding in boiled or mixing it with
liquid white that weight becomes a little
fatty and more sticky so that way it makes
it easy which means you'd be going through
a lot more paint Bob Ross paint
I helped you out for making highlights compared
to something like this if your person has
struggles with trees out there using Van Dyke
brown from Winsor Newton can be a little difficult
for the reason that it's really firm again
using Bob Ross Van Dyke brown is actually
a lot easier if you need to put in branches
or some Thin trunks in the background because
again it's a little bit thinner bus it flows
a lot easier so the paint I just recommended
from Ca-Yellow to Van Dyke brown to Titanium
white you again have to pick and choose which
situation is best for you now hey the best
part about this is you can still buy both
paint and use them for the situation that
you need to use them in it's really up to
you but more or less Winsor Newton paint pretty
much do everything that you need them
to do again it just comes down to the situation
that should need an essentially I'm just giving
you more tools so that way you can dominate
your painting going forward about Winsor Newton
paints overall I like them I like them a lot
you can buy tubes between 10 and $25 at your
local art store or even online
do ya a favor and put links down below those links help me out so thank you very much now the only
negative side overall to Winsor Newton paints is there more or less considered entry-level
or student grade which means there's not a
ton of pigment in here which means the colors
aren't going to be as rich as like a Bob Ross
paint or a higher paint that you're going
to pay up for it but if you're just starting
out that's perfectly fine you can always add
more paint on your painting to get up a darker
or richer color if you want there's always
ways around things but over all these are
fantastic and I would recommend him to anybody
else out there if you have any particular
allergy or breathing problem when it comes
to Vapor or thinners the cool thing about
Winsor Newton is it also make a water mixable
paint that you can use at home which works
fantastic awesome little hack if you live
in like a studio apartment or small living
space this we don't worry about the vapor
as much as you can clean up all your paint
with just water make sure to condition your
brushes at the end you're probably thinking
I should probably switch over to Winsor Newton
yeah you probably should however if you are
a brand new paint out there I still recommend
sticking with the Bob Ross beginner starter
painting kit and or is the paint that you
can get from the Bob Ross company since they're
specially formulated you're going to have
an easier time learning the tricks that hacks
in the trades to make you a better painter to
get confident in when you have that conference
is then I would probably recommend leaping
over to the Winsor Newton side and then you
can build up your skills and then play around
and pick and choose what you want now if you
need any more help I'm going to do you a favor
I'm put a video that shows you some awesome
tips to make you a better painter as well
as link below on where you can buy all the
supplies that I use until next time I stay
safe stay beautiful and stay creative and
I'll see you all later take care in a course
PEACE
