My friends welcome back to the channel today.

We're going to be doing some nice painting in the style of bob ross and we're gonna be painting the red mount fuji by by cutting here today.

Originally it's supposed to be Mount fuji at dawn.

That's why the undertones and the highlights are already in color.

So we are going to try to recreate those paintings today.

This alcohol is really powerful, powerful for our materials.

Today we will be using some white card, not really a canvas but anything works and some paintbrushes and watercolor paints from die.

So so for every new set of water colors that you use, you should do a patch test.

So I have gone with the liberty of trying out the paints to see how they flow.

Also for watercolor, if you want to maintain like a white canvas by right, you should be using masking liquid for the clouds.

But I don't think this paper can hold up with the masking liquid.

So I'm just gonna like pass on that and try to make do with white paint instead.

So I'm just gonna get started I think with some blues as the background.

So we're just gonna use a little bit dark blue, a little bit of light though as well.

Let's do a dark to light blue gradient for your brush with lots of water.

Get started, we want to see lots of blue on there.

It's important to kind of just feel as you go put like a little bit of it.

But I love too much.

Like as long as you feel a sky coming along, let's have a little bit of white.

Come here.

I'm not really sure how water colors work, but I'm assuming that water helps.

So I'm just making it into a very light pale blue paint it on.

There we go.

What's going on?

Quite thick?

Oh, that's interesting.

The brush, the other hairs on the brush are coming off onto the paint.

I don't know what to do.

I think it will be okay in the end and I'm sure that it is not meant to be this thick.

I'm probably supposed to have added water, add some water to some blue.

Oh yes.

This looks a lot more how it's supposed to be.

I think it's in the name, isn't it watercolor.

The first color I'm going to here is making green.

It looks green.

So I'm going to ask you army suppose likely and thick green coral name is.

So I'm going to mix these two curves.

The first thing he's having a lot of water.

I think it's in the name, isn't it?

Watercolor?

Yeah.

Mm hmm.

How many hairs.

I think along the corner on the campus exactly keep in mind where the mountain is gonna be, but don't mind it too much.

We can always go over it later.

Confidence is the key to your strokes, you're just gonna let the paper know that you know you're the boss and it looks like a sky to me and so I think that gives us the confidence to move on to the actual mount fuji.

Yes.

Okay.

I see how water colors work.

Now you add water and they become easier to work.

But look at that.

That's that's way better.

I have to show you close up what this looks like.

Can you see the individual hairs?

Can you see the hairy painting?

That's truly disgusting.

That's actually a bit repulsive.

We're gonna get a tissue and see if I can wipe the hair off.

Mm hmm.

No.

Mm hmm.

Him.

You.

It's fine.

Oh yeah, look at that.

That might be nicer if I had a bigger paintbrush but that's okay.

I wonder if I can improvise something to turn this into a bigger paintbrush.

I have a hairbrush, I have a pastry brush that's made of silicon.

Yeah.

No, I'm not sure if this is going to work but I think that this is going to help with our creativity at the very least.

Oh wow.

That's not exactly what I'm looking for I think.

Mhm mm hmm.

Oh yeah, there we go.

There we go.

It just needs more water.

Look at that.

Alright, looking pretty good.

I don't want to Toot my own horn or anything but not bad.

I've just made it worse.

But that's okay.

That is a beautiful, beautiful red.

Next up gonna attempt fuji.

So Fuji in this picture obviously is quite red rent and maybe a bit of orange as well.

Whole color from here.

Yeah.

Mhm.

Try to make the ship.

Oh no, it's pretty big.

Oh, okay.

Mhm.

That's good load your brush with lots of paint and water and kind of just use the darker colors and then bring it down lighter.

Okay, It should get lighter on the bottom.

Ah My blue paint just went into my reds or my plate is ruined.

Now this hook side painting, the fuji is actually a little bit skinnier than I believe it feels in real life.

But who knows?

Maybe over the years Fuji put on a little bit of weight.

Now I can see with the, with the water colors, you can see the other colors a bit through.

Mm hmm.

I might do the paper towel trick again.

Wet paper towel.

A good technique if you want to get a nice blend.

Just gotta dab it a little bit.

Oh, he's a bit, he's a bit lopsided, isn't he?

I can see it from this angle.

Nice, fresh punchy orange, adding some orange is giving another layer of the Mount fuji's is the symbol of japan.

Feel the nature coming in with a fresh palate.

Let's load up a little bit more of that orange because we are seeing some bald spots over here and that's not what we want.

Um Going back to the orange.

We want to get a really washed out color.

I would climb Mount fuji if you looked like this.

Very nice.

Yeah on the top here I need more one brown brown on the campus.

I'll mix it all cards and then giving them more texture and more rock feeding and not rock rock ah rock rock cleaning from below.

We have a little bit of green creeping up the mountains so so we are going to go into our deep, deep green and a little bit of blue to the green.

Actually makes it a little bit with that blue.

I might get another paper towel.

I'm really confident with the paper towel technique just bring it down, fading it away into the white you know I'm gonna blend it up, a little bit beautiful.

Mix that up as we go up, we need a little bit more of that blue, it's still kind of fade it up as we go.

I just want a bit of that green hue on the bottom.

Oh my god no it's starting to come alive.

Okay I think it looks like a pretty fat mountain which is what we like in mountains down the bottom it seems that black seems to creep in like it's so beautiful isn't it?

You might need to use a little bit of force kind of lets out all those frustrations, a little bit of anger.

Um I don't know what's happening at the top over here.

It's alright, it's alright instead of using black.

I have gone with the approach of mixing it with a little bit of blue, a little bit of blue goes a long way it is the finishing touches that really make or break your painting.

So remember how we mentioned that this was not as light as we wanted it to be.

So let's go back in with our blue and really just darken this whole thing, careful of your mountain.

Don't forget the corners, the corners of the canvas is equally as important here and cover the tip there a little bit, don't be afraid to use your hands to cover up any mistakes.

No one will knows unless you're being recorded professionally.

So in here now it's a bit dry so you can add many, many trees as much as you want.

It's just continue drawing our little lines.

I'm assuming the little trees in the distance.

So if you want to you can change the brush side, I'm going to change them.

So just imagine that a lot of the animals living here, if you look really closely you can actually see a deer, maybe even a bear.

If you're feeling adventurous.

Just keeping a wall of trees.

A lot a lot a lot of trees.

Are you busy?

I think I should add a bit of the blue color but yeah, I think for the first time Mount fuji is actually closed for visitors to climb every summer.

It opens up and there's a certain period of time where you can climb up Mount Fuji climb up Mount fuji right now.

I think 19.

The beautiful top was beautiful Costa on the top of a mountain.

It's so cold even though it's summer and then eating couple ludo on the top of the mountain.

So veracious.

You feel so tired, but that was the tastiest.

How can the look I've ever heard?

It looks like a hairy mountain.

Okay, that's what we're going for.

We do not take negativity.

We are here painting with the joy of our hearts and just trying our best before drawing some snow here.

You need to have an army of more graduates graduations.

Yeah.

Oh my God, sorry.

I changed my plans.

I'm going to add a nice, nice, nice Bruce guy here.

Mm hmm.

Okay, these clouds are a bit fat so there's a lot of white detail in the original.

There's a lot of clouds.

Just gonna go in with a few little clouds.

Long boys.

I'm not really using a major technique for this.

I'm just doing a few little squiggles putting my brush, wonder where it.

Once you can see.

I've got a little bit of black on the canvas over here.

Just a happy little accident.

And the black could be anything.

It could be a little bit of smoke rising in the distance.

It could be a uh, evil cloud I guess now that our paint has dried a little bit more.

I am going to potentially sabotage my painting by going in darker.

Oh no with my blue here and making the tip, I'm not sure it's called.

Thank you guys relaxing what we are drawing or you feel like what the fudge.

Okay.

You guys think I should have the old blue color and then I draw the crowd later.

Maybe that's better now.

It's arguably the most important part and that is the white details.

Mount Fuji has to have a little bit of a snowy tip.

Mm hmm.

Okay, big bold stroke here.

I feel like that's as Mount fuji as it's gonna get.

Mm hmm.

Pretty nice.

Okay, so now I can start on the white coming down from fuji.

Have you come to Japan in summer?

It'll be a bit more difficult to see fuji but it is the time to climb fuji.

You come to visit in the winter.

The sky is so blue and clear a lot of the time and it's very crisp but that's the perfect weather to see fuji.

You can usually see this nice snowy top.

My done, we have to go big and bold with our clouds to that medium sized round brush.

Make sure that the brush isn't tinted by any other color.

So it's going to be in like kind of like a speckled speckled pattern.

Don't forget the sides of the picture, our Mount fuji is looking pretty Mount fuji esque.

So the sky is blue.

Now this cloud thinking like a little macaroni kind of so he, this part is going to be all white.

So I'm going to use the bigger brush and then nice Casey.

Am I done?

No, I finished.

Is this the end?

I did forget to put black up the top of the fuji but it's ok, okay.

I'm going to dilute a lot of that white.

Actually just try to make that fog.

There's my own rendition on Mount Fuji.

I don't think it's so bad.

They're worse out there.

Now there is in the original picture, a little bit of white in between the red and the green.

But we're just going to ignore that.

I am going to go ahead and give it my own.

Mm hmm.

So from now I can add a nice black line here and then write the title of the growing at um you've got to sign your name.

I'm gonna sign it here.

But now that I've signed my painting, this is pretty much it.
