A place to visit

Anytime Sunnylady, I'll paint the world with you! 👍😊

Yes Tom, this what keeps to amaze me every time I go to this website and see totally different versions of the same episode! This creativity and inspiration that happens here and in everybody’s heart and minds is a wonderful place to get to.

What a lovely sky!!!

Beautiful. Love the heavy clouds and the tree.

Hado, Umagaan - thanks a lot folks!

So glad you guys both got together to paint and collaborate on this picture. Loved seeing the similarities and differences in both paintings. Zoom lessons seem to be the new thing of the future and a great idea. Good going to both of you and keep up the great work!

love this sunny.great light and dark.great great job.

So beautiful! I love the magical sky 😉

Sunnylady, those clouds are simply breathtaking! I love how your foreground grass turned out, and there is so much depth in your tree. Both you and Voy had a wonderful creation here! So glad you two were able to have another paint date!

GunaM, Pietro1963, ForestVueGallery thank you very much for your kind words and endless support !

@Lzicchinella - thanks a lot! I totally agree that many things moved to zoom/Skype/whatever. In this current condition in the world this is only things to keep people see each other and keep personal connection. Businesses now all move to remote working and video calls, phone calls are not enough any more. I guess all the generations now learn what 15 year olds learnt some time ago. So let’s harness technology to get full benefit from it. :) even for what would seem just a hobby. We know this hobby is way more for us when we can share with our buddies!

@doggymommy - thank you so very much! I am glad to hear from you! We have to schedule our paint date still and I am looking forward to it!

I have been wanting to visit your paintings and comment. So I have some time for the moment...

I just love this one. The tree looks so clear to me. The clouds are awesome. It all shows great depth.

Your clouds are incredible. I love how you captured all the different things that can happen in a sky at once. Lovely!

@LJM - thank you very much! Trick with the tree is use of 3 values. Dark base, medium green, and highlight. But general advice watch shape and form as Bob says and one addition check how light travels.

@RosoLima - thank you. This big cloud started as a big triangle area of dark purple. Then we used lighter blue and pinks to create soft border. Orange and yellows are laid on top of pinks and browns and paint is liquid for those yellows and oranges to keep them bright and avoid mixing with underlying color.

Your clouds are always so good. This painting is beautiful!

Froggie, thank you very much! I wish they became even better. I think plaineir is a solution... but it is minus 30 outside...

Froggie, the experience to paint together like any other activity done not alone brings it the meaning and more joy! If you still paint we even can have paint together day. I have not done Bob Ross for some time now, and we can select anything and not be limited by joy of painting episodes and departure for the painting journey.

I haven't painted in several months - working on some sculpting andwood carving - but I'm definitely not giving up painting! It would be fun to paint together one day. I'd like that. I love Bob's technique, but I've never been great at following and frequently go my own way and use photographs or drawings for reference. (Sometimes it just comes straight out of my haed with no references.) After I've knocked the dust off the beushes so to speak, perhaps we can paint together. Until then, thank you for sharing your talents. I enjoy your seascapes the most, but all of your paintings are very good. 😊

Alright! Ping me when you are ready!

Wood carving and sculpture sounds fantastic i want to try sculpture too! that would be great to see your works!

If I can figure out how to upload pictures of my sculptures and carvings I will do so. Word to the wise: wite sculpture is rough on the fingers and hands. I've not tried other mediums for sculpting since high school - that was several 'minutes' ago. 🤭 Please let me know if you decide to try sculpture and how it goes for you.

I always was interested to use concrete for sculptures but nobody at home supported this messy business :) I hoped to start with garden sculptures and see how bad that would be. Of course concrete needs a metal base and this is what bothers me. I am good with tools, but I cannot weld. This where my sculpture stops without even beginning. But I think one day ...

Okay, I attached photo of the more or less touch-dry painting.
Due to my mistake with the medium surface will dry glossy and colors will not sink. (It turns I need to implement some organizing techniques in the studio). That is a good discovery but it messed up painting process quite a bit.

Because of glossiness glare is crazy and there was no other way but to take a picture under the angle. Sorry about that.

Great colours - very moody and I love your birds.

Thanks a lot Barbara!
