2.0 out of 5 stars Bob Ross - Getting Started with Oil Colors, January 14, 2001

By	"[e-mail]" (Fresno, CA. United States) - See all my reviews

I was quite disappointed with this tape. Almost half the tape is just a promotion of the products that Bob Ross has on the market. It started out okay with the basics of oil painting, but he doesn't even start and finish one painting. I would not recommend this to anyone. The sad thing is that Bob Ross was such a talented artist. I guess I'll try and buy one of the other tapes that he advertises on the one that I bought.

5.0 out of 5 stars Getting Started with Bob Ross!, June 13, 2006

By	CntryTxAngel777 "CntryTxAngel777" (Central Texas, USA) - See all my reviews

I found this video very helpful in getting started. Because if you think about it, you have to start somewhere and that should be the beginning. This video helped me to know what tools, oil color paints and everything that I would need, so that i could go out and buy them. Without the right tools, you can't do anything. He shows and explains the tools you need in the video in order to create a painting.
Then he also shows you some basic easy featues, such as how to make trees, skies, water, clouds, shrubs, mountains and even a shed after going into detail of priming the canvas, which is one of the most important things you need to know to create any of his paintings. Enough said! This is the perfect beginner's video for anyone of any age!

5.0 out of 5 stars It is what it is.. getting started, December 9, 2005

By	Jason Miller "Just a Guy" (Nappanee, IN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It is what it is.. getting started with his wet on wet technique. what better way to explain it then to show you the tools needed. It may be 30 minutes, but it will show you how to use his products to create your own masterpiece
