Bob Ross' paints and tools are cleverly designed so that you can get the best out of your talent. Take the paints for example. Colours that are used primarily for highlights are manufactured to a thinner consistency to make it easier for you, the artist. Bob's method is called Wet-on-Wet, which means, naturally enough, that the canvas has to be kept wet. To do this one or two coats of special base paint, (either liquid white, liquid black or liquid clear) are applied to the canvas.
