Now that I’ve followed seven painting tutorials by Bob Ross, here is my first attempt at painting a landscape using what I learned. Bob encourages his viewers to use his techniques to create their own worlds, and so I used my own color choices and composition here, made up entirely from my imagination. Bob uses a lot more brown and gray than I like to paint. So I let loose and used brighter colors. Unlike Bob, I used a set of five basic mixing colors of Royal Talens gouache in CMYKW. This little painting is 4.5” square on cotton paper. #painting #gouache #art #landscaped

My wife and I made a quick stop at Joshua Tree National Park. This area is known as Cottonwood Springs. The Joshua trees are mostly in the northern part. #iPhone #Photography #Nikon #Landscaped #Desert #JoshuaTree.
