Felix: I have a few of the books from the series, they are hard to get here in Europe. But if you have them it is easy to tell which brushes are needed because at every painting there is a full list of the materials used, including the brushes. As mentioned I have a few and I could share the information. Maybe someone from the USA has more books than me, I have about 10... Just let me know and I can share the information which series I can cover and share the brushes needed for the 13 paintings of each series I have a book from.

    Ah yes, Tom0779 makes a good point, I have about a dozen or more of the books between Series 10 through Series 24. Those all have the brushes listed. I'm more than happy to transcribe those out if it will help!

        dracula : I have checked and I currently have the books of series 6, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 23, 26, 27 and 30. I could share the information with @Felix if you want.

            @Felix I have another suggestion (also probably a lot of work, so understandable if it isn't feasible). On the Challenges page, it would be great if you clicked on a Challenge and it told you which specific paintings you had to complete to earn that badge. I love this site, and I am so glad I found it. You have done an amazing job with it, and I am in awe at how supportive you are as the creator of the site, as well as how encouraging the entire community is. Thank you Felix, for all of your hard work!

            doggymommee8301 Oh that's a fantastic idea! I will definitely add this in the future.
            One item on my to-do-list is to create a better and more powerful search function. Once this is done adding a list of paintings to challenges shouldn't be too much of a hassle. 😊

            Thank you! I'm super happy that everyone on here is so friendly and encouraging too!

            If you have any more ideas, keep 'em coming 😉

              Please, I beg of you, give us the ability to "favorite" paintings. I have like 10 tabs open of paintings that I want to do, but I really wish I could just store them on the site instead. Thank you so much for all of the work that you do. I am a software develop who creates websites, so if you ever need any help please let me know! 🙂

                illuzio571 nice idea! Would you like to favorite only Bob Ross paintings or paintings by community members too?

                  @Felix : Would it be possible, that if you edit one of your own paintings an option to change the image is offered? Most times I upload it from my mobile and there it looks much better then on a bigger screen. Afterwards I regret the quality but I cannot change the picture. Currently I can only delete the whole painting and upload it again. It would be also good in case someone gives you a hint for improvement and you correct the painting. But currently you cannot change the picture of it. Even you can now add additional pictures I think the main picture should be the end version.

                  yes! I thought that I was just incapable of finding the edit button and just ended up deleting the painting but it wiped out some lovely suggestions that were there before I changed it. At least now I know it wasn’t just my ignorance.

                      @Felix hey Felix! I have another idea about capabilities in the challenges section. I think it would be neat to be able to click on each challenge and get statistics like who has completed the challenge, and how close we are to completing a challenge (obviously that would only work on challenges that require completing more than one painting). I'm kind of statistics nerd if you couldn't tell 😉

                      @Felix Hi Felix! Question for you: is there a way to search for members on this site? I know that if they post a painting or leave a comment on a painting you can click their name and be taken to their page, but is there another way to do it? I'm asking because I am constantly talking about all the amazing artwork on here and when I want to show some of my friends what I am talking about, I sometimes have to do quite a bit of scrolling around into older posted paintings to find the user/painting I am looking for.

                      doggymommee8301 at the moment you can only go to their profile directly or type in the URL if you know it. It is always twoinchbrush.com/user/XXXXX

                      I'll update the search bar in the next couple weeks after finishing the events and adding some more challenges.

                      Thanks for you input!

                        I've just added a handful of new challenges. Thanks to everyone who suggested some!

                        If anyone is good with Illustrator or Inkscape or another way to create icons and like to help in creating badges for the challenges it would be much appreciated!

                        I've added a new social widget to the website, powered by the ad partner I'm working with.
                        You'll notice a new option to share content on social media on the bottom right:

                        The popup menu also features a search method. You can use this to find users or paintings until I can get around to build a better native search for the website:

                        There's still some setup to be done, so don't be shocked when the images or subtexts for the search results isn't working 100%

                        Hi Felix! New thought: what if there was an option to comment on the original BR painting? The intent here would be for folks who have recreated it to leave advice for other users. “This is what I experienced and learned when I was painting this one” so and so type thing. To get to these comments you’d have to click on the original from Bob.

                        doggymommee8301 Sounds good and shouldn't take a lot of work. I'll add a difficulty rating too.
