Valentine Rose, Background, Oil, Pt 2 of 3

2/5/2019

? To begin the actual Rose painting, first we have to do the background! ?
I have chosen to do this part in acrylic because it's a nice background to paint on.
I am using nice soft colors to blend in with the finished Rose.

I am sure all of you acrylic painters will like this part.
Oil painters will find this easy to do even if you decide to use oil paint.
So have fun, use whatever colors you choose.

More Evergreen Trees, Oil

Seems that people can not get enough of evergreen tree tutorials!
So here is yet another one. I love painting trees.

Painting With Yovette, Fall Reflections, Oil

11/1/2018

Fall is such a great time of the year!
Wonderful smells in the air, beautiful colors all around!
Great time to do a fall painting.
This is a wet on wet oil, on a 16x20 canvas board panel.
It is complete with distant mountains hills, and a small lake.

Try painting your own fall picture,
and use the colors you love, from the sky down.
Have fun with it, and thank you for watching!

Keep Your Brushes Like New!

10/12/2018

This post is all about keeping your oil painting brushes like new!
The other day I realized that I didn't clean a brush,
and the result was a hard unusable paint brush.
But, I know how to fix that!
Watch this short video and see how easy it is!

See? Not hard at all to clean that unusable brush!
Just be sure to use rubber gloves and a mask if you are sensitive to chemical.
I have used this method for years, and it never fails me.
Thank you for watching!
As always, blessings! Yovette

How to Paint Cluster Flowers. Oil

10/1/2018

Painting cluster flowers can be so much fun!
They are probably one of the easier flowers to paint for a beginner,
and not only that, they come in so many beautiful colors!
This is a 12x16 canvas panel.
I used Bob Ross floral brushes and soft body floral paints.

Try your hand at these flowers using my easy follow along method of teaching.
If you like this flower, see also my basic flower lesson:

Deep Forest Falls, Pt 1, Oil

I have had many requests to do a waterfall. So here we go!
This is just a fun little painting that will be fairy easy to do.
It is in 2 parts. The first is a gesso undercoating.
The second part will be adding the color,
Make sure your gesso is completely dry before doing the second part.
This painting was inspired by Bob Ross.

If you have the time, make more than one as a gift for a loved one!
And just for fun, try painting this on a rock. Rocks are free!
Be sure to come back for the second part next month.

Bonus Lesson, Golden Rays of Sunshine, Oil

7/1/2018

Hi Everyone, I had so many requests to do this same painting in the pastel colors, so here it is! Notice the format is portrait instead of landscape this time. It is also a 12x16 instead of 16x20, but any size will work.
Go to my youtube lesson to get the supplies and other information.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KqMyHV0Orc

This is a fun and easy little painting to do. It was inspired by the Bob Ross book 28, episode #4. Hope you have fun doing it.
Blessings Yovette
