Painting Trees

Question 1: What decisions did these artists make? What similarities / differences .....
Response: Each artist has a set goal in mind when painting or drawing. With this goal in mind, they use techniques to achieved the image they have in their head to put the final product on paper. For instance, Bob Ross wants snow covered mountains so he purposely adds white and adjust his brush strokes to create the perfect outcome. Each artist is similar because they all started with a blank canvas. What is different is the final product of each tree because each artist has his own style. For example, Bob's paintings are easy to identify because he uses the same techniques for each of his paintings even if the landscape is different every time.

Question 2: How could you characterize their styles, and what impact does that have on you?
Response: When I'm watching Bob I recognize a certain sound when he paints. It's like a distinct scratching of his paint brush. He also narrates in a monotone voice over every detain in his portrait. The Disney painters are a little more go-with-the flow when painting, They submerge themselves in nature itself so they are influenced by their surroundings. I think this is a good tactic because the artist is able to use all his senses into one final product.

Question 3: How have they described their moves?
Response: The artists of the Disney video talk about lighting and how they use different colors to accent shadows and certain features of the trees. They use specific tactics that allow their paintings to pop. The narrator even notes how all 4 artists' paintings came out differently even though they were painting the same tree. This is because of the different moves they made and possibly their level of skill.
