Mystic Mountain

hadzis 27 Sep 2026

Had a lot of fun painting this one as I love the idea of the mountain being framed by the nature. Had two troublesome moments - the clouds are not as fluffy as Bob's because the white did not cover the blue as well as I would like to.. The "bush" layer had too many layers and became "muddy" and it was tough to followup. Any tips on layering the colours appreciated

Pretty good for your second Bob Ross painting! The mountain, trees and water all look great. For the clouds, try less or no blue where you want your clouds to be, either by not painting blue there, or wiping excess blue away with a paper towel at the spot you want your clouds. For the bushes, try a very light single tap for highlights, and perhaps a touch of medium or thinner to make it stick on the base color.

Great, thanks for the tips!

I think you did a really good job considering it’s your 2nd painting! I actually like your sky. Larry has given you some really great advice. I started this journey at the end of May and it just takes time and practice to begin to get it. If that helps.

very nice beginning ! congratulations! i love the mountain: the sharp edges are great, they are not straight, so it looks natural, well done!
