Painting effort number three: a scary cliff we visited in Wales! There's no Bob Ross original for comparison here, of course, but I suppose I've got the original photograph. I haven't included captions, on the assumption that you can determine which is which.







This was my first attempt at painting without Bob Ross holding my hand, which was a little intimidating. Although Rei did try to help by doing her best Bob Ross impression.

(Rei doesn't know who Bob Ross is. Her best Bob Ross impression sounds like a cross between Jeremy Clarkson and David Attenborough. 'Remember, it's your Wales; you can add in as many happy little whales as you like. That's some painting advice from me, Bob Ross.')

The cliff basically ended up looking like a big two-dimensional blob, and I desperately added lines until it looked slightly more clifflike. (Looking at it now, I think I should have used more grey towards the waterline as well. Never mind; I'm learning.) When I sent a picture of the painting to my family, my brother immediately pointed out that you could erase a few lines in one of the line clusters to create a swastika. Thanks, Fred.
