Liquid White is one of three Bob Ross Liquid Basecoats essential to the Bob Ross Wet-on-Wet Technique. These basecoats (Liquid White/Black/Clear) allow us to actually blend and mix colours right on the canvas rather than working ourselves to death on the palette. The Liquid White/Black/Clear can also be used to thin other colours for application over thicker paints.

The idea that a thin paint will stick to a thick paint is the basis for this entire technique.

The key foundation of Bob Ross' wet-on-wet technique, as seen in award-winning 'The Joy of Painting', Liquid White provides a unique base coat to your painting surface and is smooth and slow drying. It allows for the blending and mixing of oil paints directly on the canvas. Importantly, Liquid White does not dilute the intensity of colours and should be applied sparingly.

The Bob Ross Wet-on-Wet Technique is a technique that enables an oil painter to work quickly wet-on-wet, much like a watercolour painter would do. You apply the Liquid White medium first to 'wet' the canvas, then follow the demonstration of techniques by Bob Ross to create a representational painting in a short amount of time. Standard sizing and priming is advised before using this product.
