Bob Ross - Base Coat Value Pack

Base Coat Value Pack

Keep your canvas wet for effortless blending with three essential base coats

Liquid White for traditional landscapes where sky meets mountain, Liquid Black for dramatic nocturnes and silhouettes, Liquid Clear when you need transparency without color shifts.

The value pack delivers 4-ounce bottles of all three bases plus brush cleaner, letting you experiment with different approaches before committing to larger quantities. Apply a thin, even layer with a 2-inch brush, working it into the canvas weave until it becomes tacky. Paint then glides across this prepared surface, colors blend effortlessly at their edges, and you can manipulate wet paint for extended periods without it setting up prematurely.

Starting with proper base coat application eliminates the most common frustration beginners face, fighting the canvas instead of working with it. Sample all three formulas to understand how each affects color mixing and blending behavior, then stock up on whichever bases match your preferred subjects.
