For only using 3 colors, this one wasn't that easy, the paint just wouldn't do for me what it was doing for Bob.
Nice work.You can only try to stick to the basics. Apply the liquids well. As little as possible, as much as necessary. And adjust the color consistency correctly. Pull out the oil, etc. I now prefer to work with other brands such as Lukas, van Gogh, Windser Newton .Try it out and practice again and again👍🏼🇩🇪
Dirk1968 I have been trying other brands of paint, I didn't on this one however, I was thinking a Bob Ross needed BRI paint. I've been leaning towards Gamblin 1980 paint, it's a little creamier than the BRI paint and I like it better, but I had to use what I had on hand at the time. My main problem right now seems to be money, I just don't have the funds to invest in the equipment I want. But I am happy to say that this is my first painting that I've sold.
Congratulations on the sale 👍🏼🇩🇪
Looks good
This came out very good for struggling with it. Nice work my friend!
About you choices of paint... I use Gamblin 180 for some colors. But as you mentioned, they are creamier and to get the best results for Bob's paintings, the Bob Ross paint brand is the way to go. Specially for Titanium white and most of the under-painting colors like VDB and Dark Sienna. Those 3 colors are very dry and it's a must to make the thinner paint stick over the thick one to avoid mud mixing. If you are on a budget, put your creamy colors on a cardboard (from boxes) and leave it there for some time until the texture is dryer. Hope this helps a little.

You did well with this.. The paint never does for us what it does for Bob. Don't give up on snowy scenes.
