Mountain Splendor

joha59 03 Mar 2026

When I saw the book version I wanted to try this episode again, see https://picclick.com/Bob-Ross-The-Joy-Of-Painting-Volume-Vol-116715492250.html#&gid=1&pid=4 , but please do not compare it with my version, because Bob's is so beautiful, much better then the video version also, where he was in a hurry from the beginning till the end. Difficult parts for me were the sky with the yellow and blue to mix it right and the mountain with no clear shadow and highlight parts. Also the bravery test was hard to do, the big trees on the left with light painted leaves and going over my distant mountain😠. I tried it on thick blanc wallpaper of 40 x 30 cm.

This is beautiful Jos. I'd say it's perfect. Do you mind if I use your version as a guide?

No of course not Helen, I'm honored by it, but I should take Bob's book version!

Too late, you said I can.🤣 Seriously thanks for the link, I found the pic but it looks grainy, I maybe should treat myself to the odd book or two coz I've only got one, but I'd only end up doing my own thing. I've seen the video too but I still prefer yours, you set the bar high on this one Jos.
