Hello everyone/completely new painter here

steve

Randomly came across one of Mark's videos on YouTube and decided to give realism a whirl -- started painting about 2 months ago (Bob Ross inspired me on YouTube) and this looks like as much fun, if not more.  About to mix up some paint and see what happens!

Most of all, many thanks to Mark for making art so accessible to newcomers by sharing his knowledge, experience and passion for painting with all of us.

Well, first attempt complete -- other than getting correct values and colors, I'm pretty good at this...  

Think I'll just practice mixing steps and colors for a bit before try #2.
