1/13/2023 - Tribute to Ajit #2
** NOTE - 1st PIC IS MY LATEST VERSION, 2nd PIC IS MY 1ST VERSION, 3rd PIC IS AJIT'S AWESOME ORIGINAL.
While looking through a Bob Ross painting group on Facebook, I came across a beautiful painting by Ajit B Gadekar from The United Arab Emirates and I was totally mesmerized. I said to myself "I have to try this painting". I have included my 1st version and Ajit's version for reference.
I knew right away I would probably mess up the tree stand somehow, so I immediately decided that I would paint this at least 2 times, with the first time being to work out any problem areas and issues. THIS IS MY 2ND VERSION.
I have to say I am very happy with how this one turned out. That said, I think I am done painting detailed branches like this for a while LOL.
16x20 canvas. Painting #72 in my awesomely fun Bob Ross experience. (fun fact: 28 of the 72 are original compositions, rest are mainly Bob Ross paintings). Never created a painting in my life before Feb 1, 2022. I am really enjoying the journey.
And in between versions, I double gesso-ed 40 white canvases of varying sizes. Up next is 20 black to be double gesso-ed. I won't need to prep any canvases for a while ;)
Ohhh - that is a great tip on the yellow/orange. I struggled with that. I see a touch up coming :) Thanks for the feedback.
I can see why you were really captivated by this painting Tony.....Beautiful work!
Well painted Tony. It looks really great. Cheers
Beautiful painting

Tony, this is great painting and awesome approach to learn!
I like that in this version sky is very much in tune with the snow! Beautiful trees!
Just to share something I learnt from seascapes: when I need to lay yellow/orange onto the blue, before yellow I put pink, blend it a bit and it keeps yellow or orange color on top.
