But I could clearly notice that I had already gained some experience from the <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.ginchen.de\/en\/2009\/01\/16\/happy-little-trees\/\">first picture<\/a>. So this time I had at least a slight idea about how much linseed oil to apply, how much paint to load on the brush and when to work with thinner. The whole act of brush-swinging in general was easier this time: brush, canvas, pressure, resistance, consistence, I already knew all that from last time. I was really surprised how much you can already learn by painting one single picture, and I was even more surprised by the result. I think it shows a serious progress that I had not expected at all. It seems quite a lot more natural than the first one.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Again, I dutifully let my Bob Ross video run alongside, yet I still have to stop it very often. I don&#8217;t get it done in 30 minutes like the master yet. I think it took me about four hours.<br \/>\r\nThis time I did not paint on a stretcher frame, but on a thin (wooden?) panel covered with canvas. It has a size of 40&nbsp;x&nbsp;30&nbsp;cm, so I could easily find a picture frame matching in color. Just leave the glass pane away, and you have a wonderful wooden frame for an oil painting. ;)<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today I created my second piece of art in oils, and I was totally amazed how much better it already worked although it was only my second attempt.
