You decide to take an early morning stroll through the woods. You stumble upon an unfamiliar path and decide to follow it. It takes you to a lake with a lonely island in the middle. The forest opens up to the view of the lake right as the sun is rising. The path continues off …
Widget Beach is painting #71. I painted this during my 15th Twitch stream. I did this painting for a co-worker as a retirement gift. He has always been fond and supportive of my artwork and expressed interest in receiving on of my paintings for a retirement gift. So I did. This one is somewhat similar …
Here’s a painting with a story! You may remember my post about getting affected by Hurricane Michael last year. If you missed it, you can read a little bit about how Hurricane Michael affected me. That hurricane did a number on my home and many homes and businesses all over town. The painting was painted …
Southwest Peace is painting #69 and Twitch stream #13. It’s pretty much a full on Bob Ross episode. Like many Bob episodes I follow, I did this one in order to learn something new like a technique or different way of painting a certain feature. In this case, I wanted to try the technique of …
Desert Mountains is painting #68 and stream #12. It is a mix of Bob Ross and originality. Meaning that I used a Bob Ross episode as a template then did a few different things. This painting was inspired by a recent work trip out west to New Mexico. I had never been to New Mexico …
Here we have painting #67 painted on my 11th Twitch stream. Powerful clouds, rolling hills and winding river waters — It was completed using mostly just a palette knife. The reason I painted this one was because I was about to take a little work trip out west to New Mexico. So I chose a …
Twin Peaks is painting #65! It is also the 8th time I painted something live on Twitch. This painting is actually not from a Bob Ross episode. I did this one by following a Kevin Hill episode. This is not the first time I’ve tried one of his. It’s only the second. The first time …
Mountain Sunset is my 64th oil painting. It’s a warm and wonderful, perfectly brown toned mountain scene with vivid sky colors. It was painted live on Twitch. “Today I think we’ll do a happy little painting, bright and shiny and pretty, just something that’ll make you feel good.” – Bob Ross Let’s Get Started This post …
Mountain Ridge is painting #63 and painted during my 7th live stream on Twitch. This painting was inspired by a photo I had saved at some point. I can’t remember where I got the photo but I had it in my “painting ideas” folder. For this stream, I wanted to get away from just following …
Mystic Waterfall is painting 62 and the 6th painting I streamed live on Twitch. This is also only my second attempt at a waterfall. I did this on a Friday night hoping to get some Friday night chill viewers on Twitch. And for that reason, I wanted to give them something unique. In this painting …
Quick Lazy River is painting #61. It is so named because I did the Bob Ross episode called Lazy River but I tried to paint it as fast as I could. Recall the first Lazy River. I did that one quickly but on a smaller canvas and it took about 45 minutes. This one took …
Now here’s something different! I streamed this on St. Patrick’s Day. I wanted to do something fun and that went along with the theme of the day. Bob has done some monochromatic paintings in a few episodes so I did something along those lines but using sap green. To do a monochromatic painting like this, …
This is Northern Lights, part 3. Meaning this is the third time that I’ve done this particular scene. Check out Part 1 and Part 2 to see how they all compare. This is also the third painting I streamed on Twitch. For my Twitch audience, I wanted to show them something cool. And one of …
Mountain Waterfall is painting #58 and the 2nd painting I streamed live on Twitch. Following Bob Ross, I create a tiny waterfall tucked beside a glassy lake, while surrounded by snowy majestic peaks and distant evergreens. I had only planned one painting for that weekend but I had so much fun doing it live on …
Mt. McKinley is painting #57. This is a replica of Bob Ross’s first mountain painting and it marks sort of a milestone, if you will, in my painting hobby. It is the first painting I did on Twitch, the live streaming platform. This is not the first time I have painted live in front of …
