Alright goons, lets make some loving art with Bob Ross. Do you have heaps of artistic talent? Great! No talent at anything at all? No problem! Somewhere in between? Perfect! It couldn't be simpler, all you need to do is go here, select a video you like, fire up MSPaint and follow along. Drinking and/or smoking weed while doing so is highly encouraged. I recommend only using the default colors MSPaint gives you for added challenge, but you do whatever feels right for you.

Here's my first painting, Arctic Beauty:



And Bob's painting for comparison:

This is completely and utterly my poo poo right now, and if only I was able to smoke weed and didn't have several irons in the fire already, I would jump aboard this gravy boat thread faster than you can say 'happy accident'.

Today I did a Bob Ross painting called "Twilight Beauty"




At first I wasn't too pleased with it, but I learned some new techniques in MSPaint that I can use to make a better one tomorrow.

I haven't done this myself, but if you guys want to try this too, i'd suggest playing the Bob Ross videos at like, half speed. He moves mad fast, and it can be difficult to keep up.

I look forward to seeing other submissions!

I would basically have to use my finger and I am somehow awful at that on my phone.

I may give this a shot tomorrow though, when I have more time.

I'd say using the spray paint tool. it's not ideal, but it gets the job done

Alrighty. I've never tried to make a youtube before, but I have thought about trying to make an mspaint with Bob Ross before. Here's my very first attempt at making a video. it's meant to go along with:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XxClvPZ1RE
at 3/4 speed. since i'm super dumb at making videos, i don't have any cool music* or commentary to go with it. any help in this regard would be appreciated.

You can skip ahead about 40 seconds into this, like i said, i have no idea how to edit this better

Heres my first attempt from the Desert Hues episode


It was fun experimenting with the brushes, I wish I'd seen the post about using the spray can earlier. i think i need to set the image size smaller too, hard to cover the page even with the thickest brush sizes. Maybe I'll try another tomorrow.

hey, not bad! i look forward to seeing your next attempt.

Yeah, it takes a sec to get used to mspaint's "utility," vs. what traditional media can do, but keep it up!

i do love this thread. my problem is that i can never really participate with a bob ross episode because his show is so soothing that i doze off watching it.

i am not saying that as a bad thing; the blissful slumbers encouraged by bob ross is one of the few joys i have left in this world.
