Since your quest...googled black gesso and got here. Since your question has been answered already, let me just say, i have the same experience with bob ross. I grew up watching pbs and i remebered a white guy with a fro, but never cared until last year. I havent stopped watching ever since and took the plunge last fall to paint. Truly an inspiratuonal dude.<br /><br />Good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2027131506943619382.post-64916427473561112912010-04-20T11:59:25.762-07:002010-04-20T11:59:25.762-07:00Hmmm, lots of magic in this post...magic white, ma...Hmmm, lots of magic in this post...magic white, magic clear.

But I'll bet if this were a later episode he'd have gone with that instead of acrylic underpainting. Your description of the Aliz and Pthalo sounds exactly right. That's why when he added the white, they came to life! I'm excited now. Today should be my day to paint. Yesterday was Mimi's shower day and her Priest came over to visit her, so I got sidetracked every time I tried to think about painting. Today could be my day!! I'd love to see a photo of your Silent Forest painting. The FaceBook page allows for uploads of photos . . or you could email me one. I just can't get enough of this right now. Thanks again for commenting and sharing your knowledge with me. That was excellent.

The ...I use black gesso on canvas and liquid clear. The aliz and pthalo are transparent colors... on any surface they require white paint to render them opaque. I love Bob Ross. I have been painting along with him for years! I just finished "silent Forest" (S:22 E:13) and it's my favorite black canvas painting by far!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01987046482738680962noreply@blogger.com
