Martin/F. Weber Bob Ross Master Paint Set

I have absolutely 0 artistic genes in my body and the last time I painted was in grade school (close to 30 years ago). This set came with the 1”, 2”, fanbrush, small lining brush, and knife and all are well crafted and worth the money. The paints are great as well. Like others on here have said, use the paint sparingly because it is all suuuper expensive. The step-by-step dvd and booklet are really good references to use as well. Word of advice: invest in a fairly decent palette to mix colors on. My paintings so far have turned out so-so, but as to be expected with no prior painting background. If you’re on the fence about stepping in to the world of painting, I recommend it! It’s fun and relaxing. You’re doing it for yourself and you can take your time on them too. Bob can knock one of these out in 30 minutes because he’d done thousands, but with practice you will be able to perfect your happy little mountains and happy little trees. Take the plunge and go for it!

I had recently taken an interest in watching Bob Ross's old PBS episodes-- and he made it look so easy. I tried acrylic paints from Walmart, different craft stores, but I wasn't getting the same effect that Bob got. I ordered this kit and began painting. First of all, these paints are incredibly dry which is essential in the "Wet on Wet" technique. I would recommend purchasing an additional tube of titanium white as I went through the white pretty quickly. As far as the brushes go, they seem decent. The quality isn't superb, but I would definitely call them decent. I did lose a few brush hairs but that is expectable. If you order this kit I would also recommend purchasing the odorless thinner and the cleaning system. You have to clean your brush a lot in this painting style and the cleaning system makes for a very fast and efficient cleanse. Also, make sure you're using a plastic palette because these paints will soak into wood faster than Bob can paint a mountain. The two attached images were my first two paintings with the Bob Ross supplies. It really makes a world of difference.

I've been watching Bob Ross for years now, and I finally got the courage to try my hand at painting. I wasn't sure where to start, so I got the Master Paint set, which has 8 colors + liquid white (which is how all the paintings in this technique start), and it has a 2" brush, 1" brush, fan brush, liner brush, and 10" knife. There is also an instruction book, and a dvd (I went straight to The Joy of Painting episodes on the interwebs). I did my first painting from a random season 10 video, and although I didn't have all the colors, or multiples of the brushes (so I could just pick up a clean brush instead of stopping the video to clean a brush), I still had an amazing first time experience, and am hooked. Now I can start buying little odds and ends that I need, but this kit seems like the best place to start. Definitely 5 stars!

One of the best purchases I’ve made! I watched a few Bob Ross episodes on Netflix and I said, “Eff it, I’m going to paint.” Glad this starter kit had nearly everything a true novice would need. I had to purchase the canvases, palette, odorless paint thinner, bucket and rack for odorless paint thinner, and the brush beater to really get the paint off the brushes separately (they were all available on Amazon). The upfront cost is a lot but it’s worth it and I think I can get one more painting out of the paints included in the kit (I’ve painted two already). My siblings and I watched Bob Ross with our dad growing up, it was magical, and had it not been for Netflix, which allowed me to be inspired to try painting, I wouldn’t have known I could somewhat paint. My next investment is a bigger palette like Bob’s and a quality easel. I’m so happy these products exist and that Bob Ross planned long-term by creating these tools for his fans then and in the future. I’ve included my very first (mountain) and second (seascape) paintings, both using what’s included in the set. We don’t have a DVD player so I couldn’t follow along the video included in the set or the Netflix episodes. I also have to paint outside for proper ventilation (I have two kids and a dog so I definitely can’t have fumes inside the house). I’ll try to upload on here the time-lapse videos of me painting these so one can see how easy Bob had made it for beginners to paint; it took me about an hour for each. If I didn’t have distractions (toddler wanting my attention and a baby crawling everywhere) and if I had more brushes so I didn’t need to spend more time cleaning them in between, I believe 30 minutes, like the show, is absolutely doable! Also, a proper easel like Bob’s would allow me to paint the bottom better. Without an easel, I have to prop the canvas on the back of a chair and I have to hold the canvas with one hand while painting so it didn’t move around. Painting the bottom details with the canvas on a chair is the most challenging because the handles of the knife and sometimes brushes bump into the seat of the chair, compromising the particular angle the knife against the canvas has to be in order to create ripples on the sand for instance or apply the paint like Bob does to create the effect of a pathway (similar way he would the details of a mountain, for reference). I’m aware I still need a lot of practice (especially with my waves), but I’m so proud of my very first two paintings all due to Bob’s ability to inspire anyone to paint and that this set takes away the guessing of which basic materials one would need to do so. Don’t keep thinking about it, just buy it! You’ll have no regrets.

What a difference good paint makes! I love this set. Especially after watching him on BBC4 week nights! This set has helped me paint lots of happy little accidents - that look amazing! I’ve never taken art classes but can’t believe what I’ve created so far. The paints are good sizes and you really don’t need a lot. The colour quality is rich and vibrant. Brushes and knife a pleasure to work with.

Livraison rapide . Le colis correspond au description. Par contre, je trouve bizarre que les différents composants sont produits en Allemagne, en chine et aux UK. Ceci dit, le matériel est de bonne qualité.

For Bob Ross landscape paintings, this set is good value. Looking at buying the individual brushes alone + the knife would cost almost as much as the set. Also this gets you 1/2 of the paints you require and you can still make 4 paintings just with the colors included in the set. The quality of the brushes and knife in the set is very good, along with the paints are high quality as well. You will still need a canvas, cleaning supplies, an easel and other products, but this set is probably one of the 3 main expenses you need to get started (the other 2 being the easel and the remaining paints). The packaging and feel of this product is very good. I have painted a lot of latex and oil based painting and the brush quality of this set is high quality. I did note some complaints from reviewers stating you cannot paint one of the paintings in the DVD video, however they do provide written and visual instructions in the set on how to paint the scene using only the colors contained in the set. I do think as a starting set for landscape painting you would be hard pressed to find a better starting kit than this that has everything you need to be ready to paint.

Mi piace disegnare e dipingere. Questo materiale è di ottima qualità, anche se è piuttosto costoso e se purtroppo il diluente inodore per pulire i pennelli non è incluso. Nel set è presente anche un DVD con una registrazione del pittore Bob Ross che mostra nel dettaglio la tecnica del "wet on wet" ("alla prima"). Lo consiglio.
