The sweet spot is usually about a third of the way through, when he’s done blocking out the composition and has begun to lay in some good light and shadows. I’d buy a 1/3 Bob Ross non-ironically.
- seumars 5y agoThat would be the stage right before the RUINED comments start rolling in.
- canadianfella 5y agoWhy did you say non-ironically?
- rhn_mk1 5y agoCan you give an example of a painting that started its decline in the middle?
- nerdponx 5y agoHonestly, most of them. Especially the ones in a "denser" forest scene. The Alaska mountain ones are better.
- timonoko 5y agoProblem is that Bob cannot do "air". When he paints the distant misty mountain with full contrasts and color, it will do ok on its own. But then he adds the wheelbarrow with same set of colors and the mountain is not distant anymore and painting becomes annoyingly flat.
- elihu 5y agoMaybe it depends on where you live? From the article, he spent a long time in Alaska. Air pollution may have been a lot less than what people are used to in cities. I had a similar issue with Google maps when they introduced 3D views. (I don't think it supports that anymore, unless they've hidden the feature somehow; I guess they've decided it competed with Google Earth?) Anyways, my impression was "this is pretty cool, but why is it so hazy? Is it like this all the time in the bay area, and so Google engineers think this is normal everywhere?"
