ITT: Quick OIL PAINTING I made this morning - GTFIH for some peace

I haven't painted in 3 weeks, which is the longest gap between paintings since I started nearly 2 years ago. I've been pretty tired lately, in desperate need of some time off, resulting in decreased motivation all around. Time is just flying by. I decided to follow along with an episode of The Joy of Painting this morning without too many expectations. Just a nice peaceful painting experience.

The episode I followed along with is called "At Dawn's Light." Here is my attempt, which took around 2 hours start to finish. It's not that great and I've definitely painted nicer ones, but my goal here was just to have fun and relax.



Hope this warm winter scene brings some peace to those who look at it.

Painting is a wonderful pursuit because it forces you to focus your attention on the present. It's a great mindfulness activity in the day particularly for those who have the tendency to ruminate about the past or worry about the future.

Cheers boyos!

The sky and the reflection on the ice is just beautiful. Love how soft and smooth the colors are all blended together.

Thank you. I added a bit more liquid white because I wanted it to blend really well. I spent more time going over it all to make sure that you can't really tell where one color stops and the other begins.

In order to have a properly blended sky, it's really helpful to have a nicely primed canvas and a generous application of liquid h-white before starting.

Mirin, looks good bro. I'd hang it. That's a cool outlet. About to strap my axe to my back, gotta have something to do.

The perspective of the path on the left looks slightly off
I also think it looks off. It's tough to try and make this work sometimes.

I learned by just following along with Bob Ross srs.

It's a Bob Ross painting, details posted in the OP.

Never tried painting anything other than landscapes. Don't think I ever will honestly. It doesn't really interest me at all.

Canada Post is an overall awful service and charges way too much for shipping. I don't even want to think about what it would cost to ship a canvas this size.

Painting is a great way to relax. Ironically I started college as a fine arts major.... Life had other plans.

You have a good eye! Bob mentioned a few times that he used more vivid color for the TV cameras. He painted each painting you see on the show 3 times. Once at home when he was creating it, once on the show as a demonstration for TV (you can see him glancing off to the side at his reference painting), and then a final very detailed version of it for his instructional books that he'd paint after the taping of the show. If you look at the difference between the painting he did on the show in 26 minutes and the one he painted after, the difference is monumental. The colors are softer, more realistic, and the painting is incredibly detailed. What he was able to create in 26 minutes on the show was really impressive considering that truncated timeframe.

I always try to soften my paintings and use more natural colors. I actually tried to go a bit more 'unnatural' for this one just for fun since I'm always trying to mute my colors.

You might be remembering correctly. I've posted a few painting threads. Here is a photo of my first attempt at painting around 22 months ago:

It's getting quite cold here so I thought it would be nice to paint a winter scene with warm colors.

Hope you have yourself a great xmas season, my friend

Yes, thin on thick. It helps if the darker, 'base' colors are thick and dry so that your highlights stick properly. That was probably the most difficult challenge for me. You can read about it until the end of time, but it really just comes down to practice. You have to get a feel for what consistency works. I think I'm beginning to get it now.
