Inspirations

Bob Ross

Bob Ross painting on The Joy of Painting

Bob Ross has inspired me to be artistic for as long as I can remember. I would always watch The Joy of Painting with my dad after I got home from school. One of my favorite episodes is when he uses two canvases to paint a summer and a winter scene of the same location beside each other.

"When you go out to paint, try to forget what objects you have before you, a tree, a house, a field or whatever... merely think here is a little square of blue, here an oblong of pink, here a streak of yellow, and paint it just as it looks to you, the exact color and shape, until it gives you your own naive impression of the scene before you."

-Claude Monet
