Is anyone else here learning how to paint with #BobRoss? I've watched about 50 Joy of Paintings, and I've done three (bad) paintings of my own.

I'm slowly getting better at some things, but I'm still mostly incompetent, and I'm wondering if anyone else is learning, and has experiences or tips to share that have helped your learning curve?

Learning to paint is something like learning any art media, so I would not be shocked if you've heard the following before. Apologies if that's the case.

Take the parts that are hard for you and make paintings full of that. They'll be atrocious, just like mine were when I did the same thing.

Don't worry about making good paintings. Make crappy paintings. Make lots of them.

Fail, then learn from it and fail better the next time.
