Summer Beach Seascape

6/1/2021

Today we are painting a delightful little scene at the [beach in summertime] with sailboats and [two lovers] standing by the water! This is an EASY painting with my step by step instructions. I am using [only 4 colors] and they are water mixable oil paints. If you don't have water mixable oil paints then just use your own brand of oil paint or acrylics. I will also tell you a [funny story] about what happened to me on the beach!

I encourage you to try this painting, easy enough for anyone to do! I am learning about water mixable oil paint as I am teaching it to you. I am so impressed at how clean and easy they are to work with. So give them a try or just use your own paint!
Blessings, Yovette
Here is another video to enjoy. It's a Bob Ross style landscape.

Trees in the Woods, WMO

5/1/2021

This painting is called Trees in the Woods that will have you loosing up in no time!
I'm using a new medium, water Mixable Oil Paint (WMO), also called Water soluble Oil's.
They are clean, easy to work with, smell great and offer many colors!
And the best part? They work and clean with just soap and water.

If you don't have Water misable oil's then just use your regular oil paints.
Use thinner as your medium or your favorite oil medium.
It will still work and you will have a nice little painting.

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.
