"All you need to paint is a few tools, a little instruction, and a vision in your mind.” -Bob Ross
These days I have been trying to make my vision sharp. A good artist should have the ability to draw what they see, not only the shape or structure, shape and structure can't make a 3D illusion. Perfect lighting and color values makes a good painting. I'm not much good for these things, here I painted a fishing boat, and I tried to copy all color values and stuffs but I did a bunch of mistakes in detailing. Comparing to my old paintings I think I got improved a bit :)
