    Hey again Wilson,

    Hey again Wilson,
    Is paint thinner the same thing as “solvent,” because that is what my art teacher calls something that I clean my brushes in and use to thin down paint.

    I can tell you that a good way to suggest that is to paint in your field, then “spatter” the flower colors on top of it with a Fan ( or other stiff bristle ) Brush. Experiment on your palette or scrap paper first, as the consistency of the paint is crucial. Thin it down with a little paint thinner. ( I use Mineral Spirits ) Too thick and it won’t release from the brush, but too thin will make a total mess. It’s the same technique used in my waterfall lesson. Refer to that at around 6:44.

    Could you do a field of flowers without alot of detail, almost just enough to tell they are flowers?

    I find that the B.R. brushes and tools work well, but his brand of paints, mediums and basecoats are dreadful. If you’re looking for a fairly-priced, decent brand of paint to start out with, I recommend WINTON ( made by Winsor/Newton ) or GEORGIAN ( made by Daler-Rowney ).
    Another one to look into is SOHO OILS, available at J e r r y ‘ s A r t a r a m a .

    You make it seem so easy! I see you have a Bob Ross knife. What do you think of Bob Ross brushes? Can you recommend a brand? I don’t paint as of yet, but I do want to try!
