experiment 3

This time it was painting on black canvas - a sunset in the country. Very midsummerish.

Since I didn't have any black canvas I just covered my white one with black and a little bit of crimson red. It made, however, the fading sun quite a hard work. Because Bob had only wet crimson but I had also black wet. So here comes a note to myself - paint it black and let it dry if you have to paint on black canvas but have none.

All in all itI liked The process. I was more careful not to add too much pain on canvas an it worked quite well. I also notice that with every attempts my paintings become more mine than just copying. I kind of have some little touches I want to add here and there. 

Experiment 2

OK, so this one looks nothing like Bob Ross' painting, but I like it. I think I used too much colours on my brush so it was impossible to draw some more trees in that thick layer of paint. Maybe it is also the difference between acrilic paint and oil paint. I REALLY struggle with those clouds. He made them so efortlessly and life like. I could not manage that. Even though they do not Look very life like they are still WAY better than before. I used so much colours for my Mountain that i kind of actually built it on my canvas with paint. It Will take days for it to dry.

The second video was more challenging, but it didn't scare me enough to drop it all. Kind of made me stop and work with what I had at hand instead of just following.

Looking forward to my next attempts. 

Experiment 1

Decided to paint along with Bob Ross video starting from season 1. Making at least one painting a week.

Must admit that i was preparing for this like I was planning to go in date. All excited I was willing to make the right setting for it. I dug out and wiped clean  the old table and arranged all my colours on the windowsill. My easel has not yet arrived but I decided that it Will not stop me from starting.

His calm voice and positivity makes it Look so easy. However, not everything went so smoothly. Somewhere close to end I had a feeling that I had messed it up. My spirit was low. I went to wash my brushes and left the canwas to dry. When I came back to the room I was surprise how good it looked. Like some magic had happened while i was in the Bathroom. So Strange! I can still see some flaws but I like it nevertheless. 

Mistake

The River was dangerously restless. Evan was looking at the waves mesmerised by their power. He thought how crazy and brave a person must be to canoe in such weather. Evan had tried canoeing once and he had felt so alive. No he kept this call deep inside his soul. Then suddenly he noticed a car in the churning water. For a moment he looked in disbelief and then he reached for his phone to call for emergency. After the call he felt a bit like a hero but then as car passed by him he acknowledged that there was no car in the water. It was just a reflection on the glass of the bus stop. 

Zukini

The garden had gone bananas. Every single bush, plant or tree had decide to grant the best possible harvest this year. She stood helpless in front of the pile of yet another portion of zukinies. She had some twenty already at home despite the fact that she kept offering them to all her relatives and friends. She could no longer imagine a recipe that she could enjoy them. Moreover, she was also not ready to make any winter salad with them. In fact she was not sure that she would ever enjoy a single bite of zukini again. 

Exam

The brain was empty. Not foggy, tired or caught in dilemma, but just empty. No reasonable thought strings, no desires and no dreams. She kept looking at the white sheet in front of her and couldn't write a word. Fear and desperation had wiped her brain clean. 

Duties

Some People do not know what they want and thus they just live in the Cage of the expectations of the society. They take other's ideas for their own. They believe that they like free relationships even when they truely want real love. They believe that they want children even when they really know that they do not have the patience to have one. They believe that they love meaning less Sex even when they want real connection. The lies we face each Day are Hidden under social responsibilities and duties.
