As Bob once so wisely said, “It’s the imperfections that make something beautiful– that’s what makes it different and unique from everything else.ArtRage allows artists to customise and share a wide variety of resources, from canvas textures to custom brushes. Although the results may not be exactly like Bob’s, even if you did have all of his products, they probably wouldn’t look exactly like his either (and that’s a good thing). The tips above save you over a hundred dollars. You may need to move the brush a little bit more to create the necessary shape, but it works just as well.īob Ross’s brush set costs nearly $60, while you can find each of these brushes for less than $5 at Michael’s, saving you more than $30. Similarly, when Bob calls for a round brush for his stippling technique to create bushes and trees, use your 1-inch flat brush instead, but with the same technique.

A 12-by-16-inch stretched canvas offers the same shape and quality while being more mobile, and easier to paint on, without an easel or a large amount of space.īuy six 12-by-16-inch stretched canvases for less than the price of two 18-by-24-inch canvases from the same brand, saving $6 per canvas. For a few square inches (and dollars) less, use a canvas with the same side ratio. In every episode of “The Joy of Painting,” Bob Ross uses an 18-by-24-inch stretched canvas.
