learn to paint


the man in this picture is bob ross. his show used to always be on pbs but has slowly been taken off the air. last week his show was on and i watched him take a plain white canvas and within an hour paint an entire mountain range with a river and birds and everything you would think a mountain range would have. time flew by. me and my roommate debated over who is a better artist, van gough or ross. we couldnt decide because their styles are so different. van gough had a colorful impressionist style while ross is more of a boom! in your face, i'll paint whatever i want to kind of style. ross is definitley more of a people person although we dont really know because van gough never had a television show. during the show, bob talks to his paintings. when he was painting the river he said, "make it a happy river, there, a happy river, oh what a happy river". what makes a river happy? nintendo was going to make a bob ross painting game for the wii but decided to cancel the project. thats too bad. i would much rather paint on the wii then in real life. in real life you get paint everywhere and you cant erase your mistakes. i bet i am a lot better artist on video games then in real life.
