First off, Merry Christmas everyone!

Anyway... I was watching Bob Ross paint a while back and I ended up buying some painting stuff.  I've never actually worked in this medium, but it can't be any harder than photoshop... right?

So I didn't actually do anything with the paints and stuff i bought.  It just sat in a bag.  That is, until today when Ol' Bob was on the tv again.  He told me anybody can do it.  So what the hell?

You know, it didn't turn out that bad.  At least not until I got to the foreground and things started to fall apart.

I should have added a pile of yellow to the bottom to make that layer pop out more.  I also should have let the background dry for a while because the clouds bled through my trees a bit.  Still, I like how the clouds and the hint of hazy mountains turned out.

(Sorry, my phone takes abysmal pictures)
