This is my interpretation of Bob Ross bust with base. I tried to keep the base more painterly to emulate Bob's style and separate it from the bust. This is a wonderful sculpt and an enjoyable piece to paint. I used oil paints and followed along with one of Bob's episodes to create the small 4"x4" canvas to go with it. I painted it with Stynylrez primer, Badger Patriot and Sotar airbrushes, Scale75 paints, and Artis Opus brushes.

    Brilliant! But why not use only oils?

      Thank you for the vote and compliment.  Truthfully I didn’t use all oils because of time and acrylics are faster to work with.  Furthermore being slightly red-green colorblind would have been miserable to mix colors every time where I have a system for acrylics.

    I love this kind of achievement. There is humor and it changes eternal warriors.
