Bah. I can never just get each piece right. Love the clouds. Some improvement on the mountain, but everything in front of the mountain turned to doo doo. [6.4/10]
Sorry the video got so dark. I got a late start and nightfall crept in midway through the painting. I didn't realize the camera wasn't planning to play well with others, so it got a bit drab video wise at the end (and painting wise for that matter).
So be it. At least I got a bit of a grasp on the knife - thanks to ArabicBobRoss who gave me a very helpful pointer on how to hold the knife - it helped! At least for the mountains... now doing an evergreen tree with the knife... i tried and gave up early. :) The knife continues to be a big struggle for me. That, and getting the trees to take shape without overworking the heck out of them.
Oh well, more practice for me... either that or try a different technique.

Starting to break out with a bit more contrast on this one. I definitely liked working on the black canvas, i believe that helped quite a bit.
I actually made a few discoveries this time around. Here's what I finally managed to figure out...
* Cleaning the brush more often is good. Really good.
* Just because Bob Ross uses a #2 brush, doesn't mean I have to... especially since my canvas is much smaller than his. Duh. Scary that it took me so long to figure that out.
* Don't be afraid. Sometimes you just have to 'go for it' and not look back.
* I have a tendancy to start things too low on the canvas. Gotta work on that.
* Don't overwork the painting. I repeat, don't overwork the painting.
Overall this is probably my favorite one so far, so i'm going to give it a 6.8/10. I have a feeling i'll never achieve a 10 on the wet on wet technique, because deep inside I am yearning for detail... but this is still fun to learn as a starting point.
