North Shield's art session

Odet's painting, originally uploaded by odet1.

This is a wet-on-wet oil painting done on canvas, using Bob Ross' book "The Best of The Joy of Painting". Took about an hour. I did it at one of our home education groups, and my son and one of his friends also had a go and were delighted. It gives me such pleasure to see children enjoy artwork and become enthused to do more.
It was Bob who first got me into painting, about a year ago. I watched his shows on the TV and thought I would give it a try. I was very pleased with the results. Until then I had never thought I would ever get any enjoyment out of painting. What a great shame that he died so young. He gave a lot of people joy from painting.
