This video is a follow up to a video I posted a couple years ago about building my own Bob Ross oil painting easel. In this video, I go through my clean-up routine with odorless paint thinner - specifically what type to use (not the expensive art store stuff but much cheaper hardware store stuff), how to recycle it and how to keep perfectly-sized jars of it ready to go for any weeknight's painting session.

All that's required is a gallon-size pickle jar, 3 or 4 quart-size Ball or Mason jars, Sherwin-Williams straining paint funnels, and an empty gallon paint can from the hardware store.

The odorless paint thinner I use and recommend - that I find works as well as the expensive Bob Ross kind you find at the art supply store - is Sunnyside ODORLESS paint thinner (not spirits). It comes in quart and gallon canisters at most hardware stores or home centers. Like any odorless thinner, it is not fume-free and still does have a little odor, so make sure you are in a well-ventilated area when painting.

If you have any painting questions or recommendations, leave them below in comments! And be sure to like and subscribe.

🤪 ► WHO AM I?
I'm an artsy Midwest landscape photographer, a writer / blogger, a product reviewer / tester / focus group of one, a radio / TV / film major turned social media manager / content marketer, a tech geek raised in (and in many ways stuck on) the era of MS-DOS & NES, a DIY enthusiast / maker / tinkerer, a pop culture geek, a movie lover (and a collector with a fierce loyalty to DVDs and Blu-rays over streaming), and a social media comedian / general wiseass. I'm a weird creative hyphenate who's always curious and chasing after what's cool and beautiful in this crazy world of ours.

I vlog and stream videos (and often long stream of consciousness rants) about art photography, movies, social media, tech, Bob Ross-style wet on wet oil painting, pop culture, general geekdom, DIY / maker projects, reviews, Midwest life (Wisconsin & Minnesota generally) and whatever else lights my brain that week.

I'm based in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and travel often to Door County Wisconsin, Duluth Minnesota, Superior Wisconsin and all over the Midwest for photography, exploration and general fun and merriment.
