Hey guys, so for today's video I thought we might try something a little bit different. Now, at the time of recording this video, twitch.tv are streaming the entirety, as far as I'm aware, of Bob Ross's The Joy of Painting. Now I never really knew Bob Ross because, you know, I'm British and I never really sort of grew up with his television programs, but having been introduced to them through twitch.tv of all places, I really enjoy it and I really admire his, you know, his skill with the brush and also his presentation ability. So I thought I might actually try and paint along with one of the episodes of The Joy of Painting. This one is season 30 episode eight. It's called Home in the Valley. I'm just going to start the video now and you should see it down in the corner of your screen and I'm going to see if I can paint along with Bob Ross's The Joy of Painting using the Gimp, which stands for the GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is the de facto open source replacement for open shot. I think that it's really good. It's what I use for all of my graphics work and it's a program that I'm quite familiar with. Now obviously I'm going to have to maybe cut a lot of corners and miss out quite a lot because I'm neither a talented artist, nor good at Photoshop and stuff like that. And also a lot of what Bob Ross does is focuses on brush work, which obviously is going to be poorly emulated using a trackable and a painting program. So I'm not very good at this. I'm not very artistic. So I am going to present to you the finished result of this video no matter how bad it looks, but be prepared for something which which ain't exactly great. I've given I've tried painted along a few times off camera and I've gotten sort of to grips with some of the tools and I feel a little bit comfortable that I'm again no artist. Okay so this is the finished result and you can no doubt of course understand what I mean by the fact that I don't have any artistic talent whatsoever. However it was a lot of fun to do and I did enjoy messing around with a lot of the brush effects that Gimp has to offer. I'm sure I can make use of a lot more of the other tools there as well if I had the time to sort of familiarize myself with them. Gimp has definitely got a lot of potential. It's also a lot of fun just to play around with and I'd recommend anyone just have a go just sort of put on an episode of Bob Ross the joy of painting. They're pretty much all up on YouTube at this point and just see if you can get some ideas and sort of paint along. I don't know I had a lot of fun and who knows maybe I might get some kind of talent sometime down the line after a lot of repetition practice. Who knows. Anyway thank you very much for watching us about it from you today and until next time I've been Chris Ware and you've been awesome. Take care.
