The Lake

My first attempt at my own "Bob Ross" style painting. I painted this using a photograph of our family's lake property as a reference. It was interesting trying to figure out how to get the right colors, and the contrast between shadow and bright was so high in the photograph, I struggled a bit to reproduce that. I know Bob usually starts with the shadow and then brings in the highlights, but the light grass really needed to be very bright, so I did the opposite.
