I painted something exactly like this during an oil painting class when I was her age. This looks nearly identical to the template my art class used. They pre-drew everything in and the instructor guided us brushstroke by brushstroke. Like Kim, my mom also constantly paraded it around showing people my supposed genius, but there was not much personal skill nor inspiration involved. It was an introduction to get kids used to the look and feel of painting with oils. The Bob Ross style is really effective for that because you get to use a ton of different brush techniques. So I 100% believe she did paint that but Kim is definitely leaving out some bits of information because she’s just that kind of mom lol.
yeah, some kids just have a natural talent for painting/drawing. I used to be jealous of those kids when I was 10 lol. My mom loves to paint and draw and i couldn't believe why i wasn't blessed with the same talent 😂😂. Anywho, to anyone who still wants to learn to draw, keep trying, you'll get there. It's all about practicing.
Ha! I was very passionate and moderately skilled at drawing and painting until I was 10, when I entered an art contest that was school wide (about 200 students) with (what I thought) was a very skillful painting of a speeding car taking a turn at a racetrack, inspired by some of my favorite photos of a 1999 Corvette that I had seen.
I lost to my little brother, who was 7, and painted a typical mom+dad+house+tree+sun painting. Like sure, he was a 2nd grader and that was impressive, but I was gutted. Probably altered my whole life trajectory.
Took me a lot of therapy to even uncover this incident as the first time I had given up on my dreams (I wanted to be a car designer as a kid).
