"Back Country Path"
January 26, 2025
Oil on canvas
60x40cm
So... This started according to Bob: underpainting with black and white gesso, then liquid grey and putting on a little bit of colour in the sky.
And then I went with the small brushes to make the rest of this happy little scene, giving it a totally different look.
Since I only have the Bob Ross brand black (I am used to mixing my own blacks) I was surprised to see how purple it really is. It became really visible when making the "liquid grey" by mixing the Midnight Black and Liquid White. Instead of a plain grey it was a greyish lilac. Quite pretty.

Wonderful all those greens and then that little bit of color in the sky (did you also put sap green in the sky like Bob did?)!
Hoi Jos!
No, I did not put any sap green in the sky.
Come to think of it... I might not have used sap green at all. But I'm not 100% sure.
The trees are amazing! The amount of detail on the leaves is crazy! Really nice! I like this one!
Lovely scene! Very calm feeling from this painting.
