Can you paint as fast as Bob Ross? I tried...and failed. I painted this basic “lake view with trees” in 40 minutes. Nothing too fancy and not my best work - I was trying to paint within the same time Bob had on his show. Bob could have easily knocked this out in 25 minutes! Bob had skills!4yr ⋅ dploesser ⋅ r/HappyTrees
Do you ever paint with a limited palette? I did this one last year using black, blue, and white. What limited palette colors have you used?4yr ⋅ dploesser ⋅ r/HappyTrees
I was inspired to paint this “oil on canvas” after my backpacking trip through Yosemite last year. Look close and you’ll see me at the lookout point. Nature is epic. 😎👍🏻4yr ⋅ dploesser ⋅ r/HappyTrees

I’ve been doing more acrylics than oils lately - I think solely based on brush cleanup (haha!) This one was so much fun to paint - all the earthy colors I love. Video on how I painted it is in comments if interested.4yr ⋅ dploesser ⋅ r/HappyTrees

Re-posting this one - I didn’t realize how blurry the last photo was and you couldn’t see any details. I’m calling this one, “Lookout Trail”. It reminds me of some recent backpack trips. 😎👍🏻4yr ⋅ dploesser ⋅ r/HappyTrees

From sketch to paint. I typically do a quick sketch to get a feel for what I want to paint. How do you start out? The video of how I painted this one is in comments if interested.4yr ⋅ dploesser ⋅ r/HappyTrees
