The Bob Ross Experience

Last night I stepped out of my comfort zone and went to a painting class at one of our local libraries.  The free class provided supplies to paint this photo.  An old Bob Ross video played.  We tried to learn techniques from Bob Ross.  Every once in a while the librarian would hit pause and rewind.  We would look at it and then paint some more. 


I'm happy with my first adventure.  I see myself taking this free class about once a month if it is offered.  I really think it looks much better in person.  Happy painting!

I thought of what it would be like to have sat by my friend, Linda, if she were in my class.  A little smile stayed on my face thinking about the relationships I have made during my quilting/blogging/life.

You really challenged yourself with the monochromatic palate you used. I think you did great for your first try!

Your painting looks so nice, it looks like a landscape in winter! This sounds like a fun class to take, I look forward to viewing more of your paintings.

Great job! I took several classes in his techniques some years ago and enjoyed them. It is fun to do something creatively different than our usual endeavors.

Well, I just love a landscape. Yours is pretty fresh and not overworked. I hope I was the Linda you wanted in class. I still take painting classes because it keeps me pushing and productive. It is also encouraging to paint around others and see how they work.

You are definitely the Linda I was thinking about when I took the class.
