Painting Trees

Bob Ross talks about what he's doing in very fruity descriptive language as he paints. The Family Guy parody makes it recognizable that he's being portrayed because they put in all his moves, like standing in front of a nature scene and talking about all the little things he puts into the painting.

The Disney artists all have different first interpretation of the tree. It comes across in the different art styles that they put onto the painting. Each person has a different metaphor they compare the tree to (building, portrait, etc). Everyone paints the same tree except each person states what part they want to highlight the most and how that affected their artistic choices like colors and types of paint.

When each painter says what they are doing as they move the brush, they are describing the moves. The emotion or shape that they describe to apply for each artistic technique is the reason behind the move. Each one is unique to each painter and the finished product reflects the use of different moves across all the paintings.
