That’s not a “Bob Ross” painting, that’s a “You” painting. You did that and you should be proud!
Exactly what I wanted to make sure someone commented when I loaded the thread after seeing the pic.
Was it as easy as he makes it look?
Yes and no, there is technique (especially with the snow on the mountains using a knife) but Ross’s attitude of there’s no such thing as a mistake makes it easier
I wanted to follow along so badly when I was a kid, but my mom never had the money for an oil paint set, canvases, and brushes. I suppose I could try now. Your painting looks great BTW!
That wrench is pretty realistic
Haha yea I should have tried a little harder to get a good picture
I’m just goofin. It looks great!
Look at all those happy little trees! This is stunning OP
I wish I was good paint, like you clearly are.
So crisp! Great work :)
I love the colors. That’s really impressive and a beautiful piece.
This is great, I really have to dig out my painting supplies I ordered a few years ago. I started with acryl so I practice a bit before switching to oil, then RL happened and between “no time” and “I need better lightning” / “research about safe non toxic paint cleaner” I kinda forgot about it.
Do you have any modern guides with “just get this and don’t overthink it” that you can recommend? With a kid at home I don’t really wanna stress too much about toxic paint etc.
Keep painting 👍👌
Toxic oil paint is caused by the heavy metals in the pigment like cadmium, cobalt, and lead. Linseed oil works as a good paint thinner and good old soap and water to clean the brushes
Looks fantastic! That’s a hanger for sure.
Very nice! Deserves a repost hung against a blank background!
Really lovely, nice work!
