Original Creation

No. 30

Started out following a Bob Ross painting, but I took a left turn somewhere and did my own thing. I like it, but I've never been able to get close to the scene he paints.

Dont worry Alex, it is good to take left turns as Bob Technique is designed for it!

Mgiese84 Cleanest Technique In The Game

Very nice. Started out maybe as Frozen Beauty in Vignette?

Sunnylady: I used to get upset when things didn't go as planned. Now, 'things not going as planned' is the norm. Whatever happens, happens.

Mgiese84: Yes, this started out as a vignette. I had the blue set up nicely (darker in the corners). Then, halfway through, I looked up and saw I had painted over two of the corners. I said 'to heck with it...time to just see what happens.'

This is actually the bottom half of a 12x16 canvas, so roughly 7 1/2 x 12 inches. The top half is Painting No. 31. I posted them separately, because they look better that way. Kind of a small space in which to work.

I certainly can say the same, I was upset when things did not go the same as Bob's till I understood and accepted this is how it should be and no two paintings will be the same unless this is the challenge one takes to learn old masters.
