A Note from Bob Ross 'Anything we don’t like, we’ll turn it into a happy little tree or something because as you know. We don’t make mistakes, we just have happy accidents.' Projects Included in Painting With Bob Ross Graceful Mountain Landscape Use the 2-inch brush to cover the entire canvas with a thin, even coat of liquid white. Don’t let the liquid white dry before you begin. With the 2-inch brush and a small amount of midnight black and phthalo blue, use crisscross strokes to paint the sky. "You have to have dark in order to show light, just like in life." -- Bob Ross. Surf’s Up The horizon in this painting is about 8 inches down from the top of a horizontal 18” x 24” canvas. Start by covering the area above the horizon with a thin, even coat of liquid white. Use the 2-inch brush and long, horizontal and vertical strokes for even paint distribution. "Lets put a few little highlights in here, just to make them little rascals just sparkle in the sun.” -- Bob Ross. Island in the Wilderness Use the 2-inch brush to cover the entire canvas with a thin, even coat of liquid white. Don’t let the liquid white dry before you begin. Load a clean, dry 2-inch brush with a small amount of alizarin crimson. With crisscross strokes, paint the pink glow in the sky. “You can move mountains, rivers, trees. You can determine what your world is like.” -- Bob Ross. Art instruction from Bob Ross himself Sky This is a good time to underpaint the water on the lower portion of the canvas. Reload the 2-inch brush with phthalo blue. Starting at the bottom of the canvas, and working up toward the horizon, use horizontal strokes, pulling from the outside edges of the canvas in toward the center. You can create the illusion of shimmering light on the water by allowing the center of the canvas to remain light. Background Moving forward in the painting, use the same technique as step two to add another layer of background trees, this time using a darker blue-white mixture (add Prussian blue) on the 2-inch brush. Load the fan brush with a mixture of midnight black, the blues, alizarin crimson, sap green, and a small amount of titanium white. Holding the brush vertically, just tap downward to indicate the small evergreens in the background. Middle Ground To paint the middle ground evergreens, first load the fan brush to a chiseled edge with a mixture of midnight black, Prussian blue, phthalo green, and alizarin crimson. Holding the brush vertically, touch the canvas to create the centerline of each tree. Use just the corner of the brush to begin adding the small top branches. Foreground Load a clean, dry 2-inch brush with the dark tree mixture and, using the corner of the brush, tap in the basic shapes of the large foreground trees. Extend the dark color out from the base of the trees to underpaint the foreground bushes and land areas. Add tree trunks to the foreground trees with a mixture of titanium white and dark sienna on the fan brush.

I must confess, this book made me shed tears like never before. The themes of love, loss, and resilience struck a chord with my soul. It was an emotional journey I'm grateful to have taken.

The world created in this book was unlike anything I've ever encountered. The author's imagination knows no bounds, and I was completely mesmerized by the fantastical setting.

The plot was incredibly well-crafted, with twists and turns that kept me hooked until the very last page. It was impossible to predict what would happen next.
