For this painting I used a video of Bob Ross painting as inspiration. He was making a painting called "arctic beauty" and I decided to follow along as I have always wanted to do something like that. To start we had a black and dark purple canvas as the base color. Afterwards a lot of blue and white over more purples made a mountain range in the background. I then made a treeline using dark purple and then white for highlights to simulate trees. The next thing was to use green and yellow to make grasslands and then brown for the dirt down under it. More blue and white was used on a palette knife to make water and then a fan brush for the water fall. The rest of the trees were done in purple and white as well. Over all, I am really proud of this painting even though it was frustrating at times. If I could do something differently, I would like to do the mountains differently in order to better look like a rocky mountain side.
