Mountain Reflections

mkyates 02 Sep 2025

This is my first Bob Ross painting. I’ve only used acrylics before. I believe I used too much liquid white and probably too much paint. I underestimated the amount of paint thinner needed. I didn’t get the detail I was hoping for. It is taking a very long time to dry. I need practice at loading and holding my brushes.

Nice first attempt 👍🏼🇩🇪

Not bad for a first oil!

Really good for your first attempt. Looking at the texture of your bushes it does seem that your brush might be a little bit overloaded but you will get the hang of it. Watch bobs video Grandeur of Summer, he explains the technique very well in this one. Hope that helps.

You’re off to a great start, keep going!
