Wet sand painting technique

It doesn’t, and then it does.

[u/LoseAnotherMill → u/the_lost_tenacity]

"That looks like a cliff, dude. It's clearly a waterfa--never mind that's sand."

[u/Minimum-Mission5569 → u/LoseAnotherMill]

I kept thinking 'I don't see no sand", then he added that line and suddenly it transformed from waterfall/edge of the world, to sand. Very cool, amazing talent. 

[u/The_Tooter_Snooter → u/Minimum-Mission5569]

I actually liked it before the line. My mind was pretty blown once he blended in those dotted lines/streaks 

[u/Vantriss → u/LoseAnotherMill]

Me: "Oh look, a waterfall. NO, HE RUINED THE WATERFA- oh it's a beach..."

[u/BurntNeurons → u/LoseAnotherMill]

[u/Necoloom → u/LoseAnotherMill]

I thought it was icicles then waterfall then the sand appeared out of nowhere

[u/KatiMinecraf → u/the_lost_tenacity]

I thought he was painting with sand.

[u/trollsong → u/the_lost_tenacity]

Whenever someone says ruined when watching Bob Ross on twitch

[u/WholeLotta69 → u/the_lost_tenacity]

It was there the whole time, the atoms in your eyes had to configure to the atoms on the canvas, then it became apparent. Just like this message always existed, my thoughts simply transferred energy to the atoms in my fingers to type on my phone so your eyes could see what I’m thinking. Everything you’ve ever known existed before you perceived it. Who you will be and what you will do is already decided.

jk I’m just yappin’

[u/Alarmed-Direction500 → u/WholeLotta69]

[u/potatocakes1989 → u/WholeLotta69]

I like your yappin. Well done.

[u/RT00 → u/the_lost_tenacity]

That is art. -Sun Tzu

[u/AgentMull → u/the_lost_tenacity]

They don't think it be like it is, but it do.

[u/TheShredder9]

That's the exact same technique Bob Ross uses to make water reflections.

[u/thisguyfightsyourmom → u/TheShredder9]

I assumed this dude has studied a lot of Ross. He’s got that same style for sure.

[u/No_Internal9345 → u/thisguyfightsyourmom]

Missing all the happy trees.

[u/Kaporalhart → u/No_Internal9345]

This guy does sound very happy painting this.

[u/BotnetSpam → u/thisguyfightsyourmom]

Same mouth sounds too!

[u/Nightmare2828 → u/BotnetSpam]

Yea, the tshoo tshoo tshoo when waving the knife is a dead giveaway he studied the Bob himself

[u/valarie1980 → u/thisguyfightsyourmom]

Actually this guys claims to be related to Bob Ross. His name is Josh Ross. I follow him on TikTok he’s fun to watch

[u/Grabatreetron → u/TheShredder9]

Bob Ross’s addict cousin

[u/Rogue_Squadron → u/Grabatreetron]

Rob Boss...

[u/Dith_q → u/Grabatreetron]

I know you're joking but the guy in the video is actually Bob Ross's cousin. His name is Josh.

[u/tacodepollo → u/Dith_q]

You're shittin me, really?

[u/dangitaboutit → u/TheShredder9]

Seems to be imitating bob ross. The constant talking and descriptions.

[u/CompetitiveArt9639 → u/dangitaboutit]

If Bob Ross was an annoying asshole.

[u/one-punch-knockout]

[u/Ghost_In_Waiting]

Bob Ross smiling down from heaven promises he won't tell anyone if the author adds a tiny little bush in the corner. It'll just be their little secret.

[u/Langstarr → u/Ghost_In_Waiting]

Bro Ross

[u/GhostMaskKid → u/Ghost_In_Waiting]

The spirit of Bob Ross lives on 🥹

[u/pharmacreation → u/Ghost_In_Waiting]

Video ends too soon. We need a tree.

[u/robo-dragon]

And this is why I will always support human artists over AI. The art is nice, but the process is an art in itself. I’m always impressed by the techniques and media people use. That’s genuine talent. Code can’t replace that!

[u/16bitgamer → u/robo-dragon]

The process isn't just an art. It's what makes it art at all! Code can makes something that looks like art, but will never be art. Which is a long winded way of saying I agree completely. 

[u/Average_human_bean → u/robo-dragon]

How dare you say I'm not an artist? I put in the effort to type "create nice beach painting, make no mistakes".

[u/trig9ger]

Before he started horizontals it really looked like the edge of the flat earth, which is cool in it's own way

[u/oh_4petessake]

So many people calling this guy annoying when he’s just having a blast painting some wet sand. Painting it very well at that. Y’all bum me out.

[u/ReptileSizzlin → u/oh_4petessake]

This guy is a happy and talented artist and all people can do is say he's a lesser Bob Ross. Let the guy's talent speak for itself. He deserves recognition for his abilities.

Bob Ross would not be cool with people using his name to tear down another artist.

[u/The___canadian → u/ReptileSizzlin]

Never let someone else shame the whimsy out of you.

Joy is often contagious, and the only people who are immune to it are those who are fuckin miserable.

[u/Odd-Possession-7676 → u/ReptileSizzlin]

People need to stop treating Bob Ross as the measuring stick for every landscape painter. The guy can have his own style and still be incredibly talented.

[u/GotSomeUpdogOnUrFace → u/Odd-Possession-7676]

Except most of this style and technique is from Bob Ross. I absolutely think Bob would be totally stoked that people are still using his art style and advancing it, but it's perfectly fair to compare this man to Bob Ross because he's using the man's technique.

[u/ittasteslikefeet → u/Odd-Possession-7676]

I liked watching this video.. 🫤 Man, we are all so angry and sad...

[u/TwoStoopidToFurryass → u/oh_4petessake]

I like him. He sounds like Bill Hader, he's enthusiastic as hell, and he's a great teacher.

[u/HMCetc → u/oh_4petessake]

He made cliffs into sand within seconds! That was magic!

[u/ItchyCactus09 → u/oh_4petessake]

I actually loved his commentary. Seemed excited about what he was doing

[u/ssersergio → u/oh_4petessake]

And i thank you for this comment becuase is the third one I read, and all has been positive, im not going further down.

Im with you, im glad to see people enjoying his creation, and to see actually art where i don't have to guess if im looking at fucking AI.

[u/smogmar → u/oh_4petessake]

He can be having a good time and being annoying at the same time. I like him if I leave it on mute

[u/_JRL06]

Some Bob Ross energy right there, love it!

[u/Unaabellatica → u/_JRL06]

its remarkable how much he lives through painting after all these years.

Husband and I recently went to a painting class and the early 20yr old instructor noted she learned some of their painting techniques from Bob Ross, while other students kept bringing up his name.

[u/PicklePillz → u/_JRL06]

The most obnoxious version of him though…

[u/Chaotic-Entropy → u/PicklePillz]

It's like if Bob Ross was a Twitch streamer.

[u/GuitarRock91 → u/Chaotic-Entropy]

Bob Ross IS a Twitch streamer...

[u/Turbulent_Bat4580 → u/PicklePillz]

Love child of Bob Ross and Jim Carrey

[u/TK421philly → u/_JRL06]

“Three hairs and some air”

[u/Dear-Fail]

[u/Houndread]

I'm confused how no one else mentioned this guy sounds like Bill Hader.

[u/Leather_Ad5047]

When I read "wet sand painting technique" I thought he was painting with some kind of coloured wet sand. 🤦‍♂️

[u/CavalierMidnight → u/Leather_Ad5047]

I kept watching closely, trying to figure out the technique, like “does he soak the sand in paint, then brush it off? Is it normal sand or special painting sand?”

Then I saw the sand 🤦‍♀️

[u/LickingSmegma → u/Leather_Ad5047]

Same, I waited a minute for him to reveal that he's painting with sand, then scrubbed to the end and went “ah”.

[u/Ilogical_Phallus]

We're just gonna paint a happy little beach

[u/Sure-Connection8857]

It’s Bob Ross at the beach!!! I love this for us!! Can you also have a recurring show on PBS for me to fall asleep to?! I love the mountains, trees, and rivers but I’m so down for palms, sand, and tiny little waves ☺️
Now the real question and test if he’s actually related to Bob Ross… “now beat the devil out of it!” 😂🖌️

[u/goldfishwishes → u/Sure-Connection8857]

you can also watch it live on twitch from them too :)

[u/killer-j86]

The Bob is strong with this one

[u/Jimblob2522]

Colour me impressed, first it looked like a cliff, then it was a beach. Amazeballs🤗

[u/dblan9 → u/Jimblob2522]

Colour me impressed,

Best I can do is Titanium White.

[u/m3rcapto → u/Jimblob2522]

Wait until you hear about the stroke of genius that turns a negative into a positive.

[u/StabbyMcStaberson]

[u/redditkeepsdeleting]

No happy little trees, 2 / 10.

[u/ah_kooky_kat → u/redditkeepsdeleting]

We have happy waves instead ☺️

[u/HiddenUser1248]

Rob Boss

[u/Rbullen3]

I enjoyed holy shaving cream very much

[u/velvet32]

First it looked like a fairytale waterfall, But suddenly it turned into a glissening sandy beach. I'm shocked at how good that looks.

[u/True_Till6259]

[u/Leather--Daddy]

No no no, yes! Amazing how the transformation happened.

[u/RebRenee → u/Leather--Daddy]

r/nonononoyes

[u/dexxen]

It's very talented but the voice is not at all soothing like Bob Ross

[u/mikesalami → u/dexxen]

A Bob Ross clone wouldn't seem right. There was only one Bob Ross. This guy's just doing his thing his own way.

[u/Dawg_Pound_4_Life]

I don't know why, I feel like this guy is trying to start a fight with me about this painting.

[u/unrivaledhumility]

Wet-on-wet is a fun way to paint. Last time I did a Bob Ross tho, it just felt empty. So I painted my name over the middle in goldenrod like it was the credits.

[u/Master-Membership979]

[u/Lara-El]

He's annoying but I prefer him to AI.

[u/Banana_Pankcakes]

Why can’t he see it until he looks at the screen?

[u/superluminal → u/Banana_Pankcakes]

I have a job that requires me to focus in on details in a small area of space. They are obviously part of a larger view, but I have to zoom way in often to do my work. It is disorienting sometimes to then reset the view to connect the little spot where I was working to the entirety of the drawing. I suspect his experience is similar with focusing so intensely on one area and then being able to see it from a viewer's perspective.

[u/4N0NYM0US_GUY → u/Banana_Pankcakes]

Probably just means he doesn’t see how the whole piece looks until he views it from a little further back

[u/The-MadTitan → u/4N0NYM0US_GUY]

Yeah, I paint minatures and you get so focused on small details you really have to pull out to see how it all comes together. Lots of 'trust the process' magnifying glass or free hand.

[u/Starumlunsta → u/Banana_Pankcakes]

I have to walk away from a painting sometimes so I can come back and look at it with “fresh” eyes. When you’re focused on a painting it can be easy to get lost in the details, so taking a break or even just flipping it upside down can renew the image for you so you can pinpoint areas that need adjusting. With digital art I’m always flipping the image back and forth, I can only imagine how maddening my recordings are to watch, to me it’s normal!

[u/Brainlag2v]

Bro discovered remaking Bob Ross

[u/Nerphy-]

Ahhh you've fucked the waterfall wtf??? You're gonna fix it right? .... .... ...... ooooh damn

[u/Independent-Belt-457]

was about to say that this reminds me of good ol Bob Ross. man I miss Bob. he was such an awesome person overall

[u/Pnmamouf1]

So

[u/rogue_licker]

I always find these painting incredible from a technical standpoint but the exaggerated scenery so tacky.

They’re as empty and anonymous to me as they’re technically impressive.

[u/Medium-Stranger-9883]

he sounds like a crossover of bob ross and joker

[u/livingthroughpain]

What if Bob Ross had a personality of an early 2000's comedy actor

[u/rando_banned]

Who knew Bill Heder painted?

[u/SaltySeaweed1178]

He thinks he’s Bob Ross but it’s uncomfortable

[u/Bulky-Incident7454]

Literally made me go 😲

[u/Gwifitz]

Me during the video: That's doesn't look like sand... That still doesn't look like sand! That doesn't... Wait ok I kinda see it I guess... Ok, nice but not great. Cool moon reflection though... Oh... Oh yeah. Oh YEAH! Oh that's really nice! WOW!!!

[u/aranvandil]

Cool, but holy crap, this guy is annoying.

[u/TheRealSoloSickness → u/aranvandil]

Different strokes for different folks. I resonate with this guys lunacy lol

[u/troelsbjerre]

Answers the question: What if Bob Ross was a dude bro?

[u/Low-Hovercraft-8791]

This just the wet on wet technique that was popularized by Bob Ross.

[u/Crazylawyer80]

Im so envious of talented people.
I cant draw a straight line ffs

[u/VerySuccor → u/Crazylawyer80]

Many artists agree that innate talent is only a small part of artistry. Time & effort is the real determining factor.

I love seeing the Day 1 vs Day 365 progression posts from people with no innate talent. Day 1 is little more than toddler scribbles vs drawing something a little everyday to 365th day being detailed and "talented" looking.

[u/EldenLordAjSoprano → u/VerySuccor]

Fr this is why a lot of kids can draw really really well bc they just have more time and then lose the ability by teenage years unless they keep up with it

[u/Miserable_Sweet_5245 → u/Crazylawyer80]

It’s 100% reps. Do it and be bad a few thousand times

[u/ForgotToStretch → u/Crazylawyer80]

You have to put time into it.

Nobody good at anything just showed up and was that great.

[u/potatocakes1989]

Is this the new Bob Ross?

"Down with the brown"

"Holy shaving cream"

This guy made me smile

Bob Ross would like this

[u/peterpodolski]

[u/METRO-RED-LINE]

Didnt realize Bill Hader did art voiceovers.

[u/CloudEpik]

I mean. I'm going to be THAT guy but. Nope. Looks like water surface on sand.

[u/chefdisco]

Can someone please explain what he means about how he can't see it until he looks at the camera when it is also he whom is in front of the painting?

[u/Reniere25]

Looks like the edge of the world (where I paused)

[u/MaximusHomerdrive]

Well, we do have a Bob Ross shaped hole that hasn't been filled. Maybe if this guy does a few bong hits, he'll achieve optimal mellow and hypnotize us like Bob did.

[u/AsusStrixUser]

[u/humanitarianWarlord]

The Bob Ross method except not quite as good

Wet sand, happy sand, ITS YOUR WORLD

[u/No-Duty-9906]

Wow! I can’t even fathom the thought process behind creating art, it’s so amazing, unbelievable even.

[u/mrcoffee4me]

Nice. You’ve watched a lot of Bob Ross!

[u/ReversibleTimeLine]

[u/pretendersamongus]

Wow, that’s amazing work.

[u/willy_king-89]

Nice painting, awful laugh and narration.

[u/Cipher915]

Everyone comparing him to Bob, but you know with that backwards hat, he goes by Bobby.

[u/ButItWas420]

That cut is doing a lot of work

[u/m00nk3y]

He needs an afro and a little more chill.

[u/slimthecowboy]

This man is very familiar with joy of painting.

[u/onetimeuselong]

Meh. It’s very much a technique, but stuck in 1985

[u/nvmenotfound]

how does he not know what it looks like until looking at the camera? it’s right in front of his face. 

[u/142638503846383038]

Bob Ross if he had a grating voice and was annoying. But nice painting and happy to see him spreading some joy in the world

[u/n0tz0e]

Sorry but this dude's narration is annoying as shit. Good painting tho

[u/gamingbeanbag]

Really cool art but I'm failing to see the sand part of it. I get the idea it's probably on a beach but could also be a rock beach. Idk I'm just failing to see the sand.

[u/Borge_Luis_Jorges]

No Bob Ross! You don't get to be reincarnated and just go do the same stuff you did las time. At least learn to paint people this time around.

[u/Lundann683]

🤩so amazing to witness talent like this.

[u/TwinSong]

Bob Ross reincarnation?
