For the last five years it has been a New Year's tradition for me to paint along with Bob Ross. For about the same amount of time I have had a large canvas made up to go behind my gaming table as a scenic backdrop. I kept putting off starting on it because I was a bit scared... but this year I finally summoned the courage.
This wasn't all done in one sitting, it took four innings- the sky, the rocky midground, the foreground and then some tweaking on the foliage. After so long of it sitting in a corner of the studio I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted it to look like and it has turned out much as I imagines. I have been compositing and cribbing up of Joy of Painting episodes to find the right features! Sadly the light is pretty poor at the moment so this isn't a brilliant photo. Hopefully I'll be at home in daylight sometime soon to take better photos.
Well that is properly nice.
ReplyDeleteWell done!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous. I envy your backdrop! An annual day with Bob Ross sounds like a great tradition.
