I remember the shift. Although I really liked to see everyone's iterations of Bob's originals, it is really nice to see how creative this community is. I think it's a natural progression to branch out from painting along to Bob to painting along with other people, developing and honing your skills, and then creating originals. It seems like a really natural progression in the arts to me and this is precisely how I taught myself to play and compose music: learned the guitar, played along to some metal bands, bought a piano, played some songs I liked on there, started recording, learned a dozen other instruments, etc. Overall, I am positive this is what Bob would have wanted. He always mentioned he hoped the wet on wet style would be someone's introduction into the wonderful world of art and painting. He also mentioned that painting will provide you with an increased sense of self-confidence, that if you can do this, you can do anything. That's a wonderful message he gave people. I've definitely felt that. I started painting at 30 and watched it work decently enough to provide me with the self-esteem I needed to try and create my own visions. That's an incredible gift. I really like coming on here and looking at, not only everyone's original creations, but the growth. It's really spectacular. You can see people evolving in their skill.
