Hideaway Cove. Painting #43

Hideaway Cove is painting #43. I didn’t wait that long in between paintings with this one.

I painted this for one reason and one reason only. My parents came down for a visit from up north. It was their first visit to my home since I’ve been living overseas for so long. One night we were watching some Bob Ross and they wanted to watch me paint myself to see how I did it. So I just painted the most recent Bob Ross episode we just watched. This one was inspired by another Joy of Painting episode.

For this one I followed along with S25E1 of The Joy of Painting.

I did this one as sort of a demonstration/instruction for my parents. I didn’t choose it for any particular feature or technique. However, I do like the multicolored sky and the mountain texture. I also liked trying the highlight from a different angle. Bob also used a different technique to paint distant tall trees. He used the two inch brush and sort of pushed the side tip on the canvas. I can’t really explain it. You’ll have to see for yourself in the video.

I hope you enjoy this painting. I enjoyed painting it. Give it a try yourself and share it with me.
