Let's Paint a Mountain, Oil Painting Techniques with Yovette

4/1/2020

 
Painting mountains is one of my favorite thing to do. 
In this video, I am sharing a lot of my best tips with you. 
I will be using a palette knife a little differently than I usually do, 
​but it works really great! 

Try painting these mountains in many different colors and shapes. 
 You do not have to follow exactially what I do. 
Most of all, just have fun with it and be creative.
Practice, scrape, and paint it over. It will pay off big time. 

Have a blessed day! Yovette

Painting Simple Clouds, Oil Painting Techniques with Yovette

3/1/2020

 
Painting clouds can be so simple, and completed with many kinds of brushes.
In this video I chose to use the #3 Bob Ross fan brush.
This is an easy way to do clouds, but first,
​I had to put in a sky. 

I hope you try your hand at doing clouds now!
Vote to let me know if you would like to see me do a mountain next.
Wishing you well, Yovette

Meadow Landscape, Bob Ross Style, Pt 2

12/2/2019

 
This is Pt 2 of the Meadow Landscape and the most fun part, adding color!
I hope you all have finished the black and white Pt 1.
​So grab your brushes and let's get started!     

This turned out very nice with sort of a darker mood. 
The gray canvas, and the pruple in the sky gives that effect.

Applying Gesso, Best Kept Secret!

10/30/2019

 

Gesso is used for many things,
but I love it best because it makes my canvas smoother so my brushes last longer!

You can tint the gesso any color for a warm or cool background. 
It's great for painting a black background. 
Watch this video and see how really easy it is with these little tips! 

Now go try my tips and see if you don't just love them!

Beaches and Rocks

10/1/2019

 
I just have to share some of my latest little paintings I did on rocks!
This can not only be done on rocks, but on canvas as well. 
This will give you new ideas and inspirations. 
This is something anyone can do, and kids love rock painting! 
Make a day of going to the river or the ocean to collect rocks. 
Try to find very smooth ones. 
Once you have collected them, if they are a little rough try sanding them. 
Then just start painging using oil or acrylic paint! 
Most of all just have fun!   Cheers, Yovettte
