Weekend OIL PAINTING for my Sunday morning brahs - Winter themed
I've been meaning to paint this one for a while and finally pulled the trigger this weekend. This one is going to be a Christmas present for my parents.
This is not an original, but my attempt at recreating a Bob Ross painting from The Joy of Painting. It had been a while since I followed along to an episode again. I've been creating originals since late summer. Overall, this went really smoothly and it was a lot of fun and really relaxing. Took me 3 hours from start to finish. A nice way to spend an afternoon.
Here it is in 2 different types of lighting - natural, and with the room lights on. The idea was that the scene would inhabit a blue vignette of sorts.


I may also come across as a broken record when I say this, but I've only been painting for a little under 2 years now with 0 prior art experience. If you've ever had even the slightest desire to try painting, please let this thread be your motivator. Youcanabsolutely do it if you dedicate yourself a bit.

*Fart in the gym and blame rotten smell on faulty ventilation crew*
*Fart at home and blame it on the dog crew*
*Watch neutron-star density poop mock me as water flushes around it and it stays put crew*
*Drive 2 minutes in the summer and back of shirt gets completely wet crew*
*Coffee black as midnight on a moonless night crew*
*Fat shame my cat on a daily basis crew*

thick solid tight, top looks better, warm light ones a bit gloomy
still blows my mind how I can't get the layering right, always end up creating muck lol, final layers never stick to whats below
You should now start adding other stuff to differentiate from the bob ross style. like add an alien looking rock in the water, maybe add a floating apparition like in this pic here, completely changes the mood of the painting and would be kind of cool, just a suggestion

Love Burzum's covers. I recently painted a Halloween scene that was a bit different and more 'spooky.'

How do you recommend starting? Take any classes or something? Certain books or videos?

All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

You cover your canvas in a thin, even coat of liquid white and then you just go for it. Add your sky color, try to paint your mountain with the knife, add some trees, etc. From that point onwards, I just picked episodes of the joy of painting that I wanted to try painting and that's how I go to where I am today. I think this was my 76th or 77th painting, somewhere around there. I tried to paint once a week during the weekend and each painting would take me around 2-3 hours to complete, start to finish.

Regarding solvents, I wouldn't worry about it nowadays. My grandfather was an oil painter his whole life and made a living out of it, he lived into his 90s and passed away in the early 2000s. Quality standards are better now so id be extremely surprised if its super toxic.

It's very good, don't get me wrong, but the fact you can do this after just 2 years and no formal training and it be lauded so much just shows how far art has fallen.
I am actually reading this book at the moment. Would recommend, some of you may be interested.
