The colors blend together and it’s harder to get definitions. Hard to find liquid white as it is on back order. Step-by-step dvd and booklet are really good references to use.

Fan blender, script liner & knife are cheaply made. The brushes are nothing special and can be found cheaper from any craft store. There is no way this could be used as a gift.

Do not buy from this seller, buy from the bob ross website or somewhere else. The quality is horrible.

The only thing i can think of is that it may be too old or it's a defect of some sort. Would have contacted seller, but did not know how. Will return for a replacement, hopefully the correct products this time.

It is clear that not the kit has been cheapened for cost. He paints the picture from the kit again and it is useless. My suggestion is that you skip this kit, and buy the $30.
