Is anyone else here learning how to paint with #BobRoss? I've watched about 50 Joy of Paintings, and I've done three (bad) paintings of my own.

I'm slowly getting better at some things, but I'm still mostly incompetent, and I'm wondering if anyone else is learning, and has experiences or tips to share that have helped your learning curve?

@wilw Yes, have silly contests with your friends where someone comes up with a theme. Usually the funnier, the better. Put a short time limit on it so you don't take yourself too seriously. That way you learn to be economical with brush strokes and relax. You also tend to have a lot of fun with it because you are playing with your friends. Having thirty minutes to paint a Dachshund Mona Lisa, potentially after a homebrew tasting session, will open your eyes to a whole new joy of painting. Trust me 🙂
