Red Sunset

Tarthur 09 Feb 2025

This is my all time favourite painting from Bob Ross. I just love the sky in the original.This is my second Bob Ross painting I've attempted. The sky doesn't glow quite as much as in the original, I use W&N watermixable oil paints, and that series doesn't have Indian Yellow. This is one of the first paintings where it finally clicked to me how to make highlights, and I went too far with the bushes. It's also very easy to fill paintings with water, there's some of that too.

Yet again I left the cabin out, because they intimidate me and I like pristine nature better anyways.

Pretty darn good for just your second painting. I would recommend investing in true Bob Ross paints. Try jerrysartarama.com. You’ll find some good deals and you’ll be surprised at the difference.

Your colours turned out nice. Cabins can be tricky but they are worth practice. You can always have a go and if it's not to your liking just scrape if off and try again. Or scrape it off and fill in with bushes. Most of us have done it😉

Agree with both comments above. Looks good for an early effort. Keep it up!
