I took a vote, and it turned out that people wanted to see
a tutorial of the Cabin in the Snow! So here is Pt 3.

If you want to see Pt 1:

If you want to see Pt 2

The first part is undercoated in gesso, and top coat is oil paint.

This is a fun little project on a 5x7 canvas, or any size you choose.
You could also do this on greeting card stock.
Thanks for watching.
Have a blessed day! 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.

What could be more fun than painting in black and white?
Well, once that is done the possibilities become endless!
You could leave it just like it is, or you could add gorgeous colors.
In Part 1 of this video I have made the entile underpainting in Gesso
using just a simple black and white with gray tones.
Come and paint along with me. It will be fun!

There will be a Part 2 to this video next month adding colors.

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

Mountain, Bob Ross Style, With a Twist!

8/1/2019

In this video I am using my brand new brushes, and Water Mixable Oil Paints!
I have been getting a lot of inquiries about how to use these paints,
so that is the reason for this tutorial.
I am loving them! They don't smell, they clean so easy with soap and water,
and they are safe around children.
So watch the video and see what you think about them.

I hope this gave you good information on using these supplies.
Thank you for watching and wishing you well

Easy way to Varnish & Fix a Blooper

7/16/2019

I wanted to share with you the way I varnish a painting.
I know there are many many ways to varnish, and many kinds of varnish.
But I love this Krylon spay varnish the best.
I use it on canvas, rocks, or anything that needs a shine!

This varnish dries very quickly, and can be used on any medium.
This is so fast and easy so I hope you try it.
Thank you for watching!
Have a Blessed day!

How to Paint a Basic Yellow Flower, Acrylic

7/1/2019

Trying to master acrylics has been very hard for me as I come from an oil background!
So I worked with several products and came up with an extender medium
that makes the acrylic work more like a wet on wet oil.
This tutorial will show you how I used it to paint a basic yellow flower.

I hope you will give this flower a try if you are an acrylic painter.
I think you will like it!
As always, blessing and have a great day!
Thank you for watching!
