A Painting Day...

.

One of our Saturdays, a couple of weeks ago, we set aside for kicking back and painting.

My daughter and I took about 10 Bob Ross, wet-on-wet oil painting classes a few years ago. I have all the equipment to paint, PLUS a terrific DVD where most of the landscape elements are covered in detail, so you can play, rewind, slow-motion, etc your way to a lovely oil painting.

It's great!

I invited our artistically inclined friend over and she and Michael spent the day trying out full landscape paintings.


























I enjoyed seeing their creations so much!

  5. Cyn,

    He cracks me up. Every time he hits his brush back and forth across the easel to knock off the extra thinner, he giggles like a little boy. LOL

  7. Jo,

    It's really nice to create something when you don't think you can. Bob Ross instructions make it easy.

    That's my friend Leah. My DD doesn't paint with me any more, so I'm glad her stuff is getting used. :)

  8. SBF,

    What is BK? Art can be applied in so many areas of our lives. Makes life prettier when you can't be outside in God's beauty. :)

  10. Linda,

    With DVD - ANYONE can paint. That's what BR set out to do and it's really true.
