Nice one Heidi, the mountain is superb, just feel the clump of trees in the right foreground could have been a little darker to give ‘distance’ but that’s just me. I personally liked Bob Ross for what he achieved.

Thank you very much - it was a great challenge! I totally agree Michael. To be honest by the time I got to the foreground, I was losing patience!! Because I was painting along as he did it, the paint was so slippery and I just couldn't get any definition. The colours were sliding and mixing (only the 2nd time I've ever used oils and totally different way of working for me!) I would guess anyone working in oils would wait for each layer to dry and then add more colour!
