These artists all choose to paint in their own ways. Whether
they want dark or thin lines to outline everything or even if they want
outlines at all. One of the artists used nothing but lines to create his tree.
While others used brushes, palate knives, and water colors mixed with lighter
fluid.
How could you
characterize their styles, and what impact does that have on you (an audience
member)?
I would characterize their styles as painters. They all have
an idea that they want to convey when painting. One wanted to use charcoal and
grey paper while another focused only on the trunk of the tree. Someone saw the
tree as a living building and another saw it as having a soul. Eachand every
painter had their own idea and because of that, each had their own style of how
to go about painting the same tree.
The describe their moves by stating exactly what is going
through their heads and how they plan to convey those ideas. Each one had
different ideas. Bob Ross thought that each art work was hidden within the
paint brushes themselves. He was also very soft spoken and seemed to want to
help others with their own paintings. The others had thoughts as to what the
tree symbolized and how they wanted to convey that symbol. Each painter said
what they thought and how they will get that across, with either, brushes,
knives, or water colors.
