During my Land+Scape+Water+Color immersion, I was struck by the inspiration to do something far out of my comfort zone. I have never enjoyed crafts, in fact, I hated them. I thought I might as well try again, and to my immense surprise, I enjoyed painting profusely. I was messing around with watercolors, and found a really interesting technique that created something I liked. Usually, I am very self conscious about my art, but for once, I looked at my creation with fondness. Throughout the course of my immersion I went in search of amazing colors outdoors, that I could try and paint. At this point, I wasn’t sure at all how I could make an artifact of learning. I was also wondering how I could use my newfound technique to do good in the community. Luckily for me, I came up with an idea that solves both problems.
I got the inspiration to film a tutorial from the GOAT himself, the late great Bob Ross. I have always loved to watch his painting tutorials, and thought that I should try and make a painting tutorial. I knew going into it, that it wouldn’t even compare to Bob Ross, but I still tried to make it as helpful as I could. You may be wondering, how is this going to help with good in the community? I know I am very bored during quarantine. I am always looking to do something even somewhat productive. I thought that if I sent my video out, people would be able to replicate my art, and find something to do. I find that this painting technique is a great way to kill time. It can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours, it all depends on how many you want to make. I highly recommend trying this at home when you are bored.
