First Bingo fill!

[fuzzyred]

This is my fill for the "sense of nature" square on my bingo card. It is done in coloured pencil and silk crayon, with trees and a stream as the subject matter. It's not the most polished, since I followed along with Bob Ross (who uses oil paints, which I most definitely *wasn't*), but I'm pleased with how it turn out.




I imagine it is the kind of place where someone could wander and be one with nature. Walking between the trees, stroking the bark, admiring all the colours to be found, free from the noise and bustle of city life. Perhaps stopping to sit on a rock and dabble in the stream when you get tired. An ideal place for a nature expert, or a novice who wamts a chance to connect more with the world around them.

The Bob Ross painting I used for inspiration:


Whispering Stream by Bob Ross (I forget which season it was but I want to say the 20s somewhere.)
Edit: the tv proves me wrong, this was a season 6 episode 😆

Very nice!

You don't need to be Bob Ross. You're painting/drawing is different, but decidedly not lesser.

Thank you!

In truth, I wasn't trying to be Bob Ross, but I do enjoy his style a lot, and I am new enough that I don't have a lot of the basic skills. That makes composing a picture a little more difficult, since I never know how or where to start, so I thought following along would help with that. I'm also not used to creating off the top of my head, so having a general guideline was very useful.

I'm glad you liked it; I'm rather happy with how it turned out :) (Especially since I was following techniques decidedly not meant for my medium. Maybe next time I'll pick a different video?)
