A question, to which I expect the answer is "it comes with practice and skill", but I shall ask my question regardless.

So, I got Vermillion a few days ago for my Quest 2, and it's a great piece of software. But I am curious if this is truly a skill and practice "issue" or if there are things I can change in the settings somewhere, or if it is even a limitation of the software itself.

But I expect it may just be a skill issue.

ANYWAY: I am painting along with Bob Ross. And, obviously, you aren't supposed to effortlessly copy what he's doing. You make your own painting, together.

Let's take this episode, [the very first one](https://youtu.be/oh5p5f5_-7A?t=239), as an example.

I start the same way. Magic White (thinned Titanium White) on the canvas, wet on wet, all is groovy. But the moment I start doing the little x-es with the green colour and my 2 inch brush, it looks completely different. Whereas his application looks almost dry, mine looks like I'm doing water painting. Obviously the video quality isn't great, so maybe that has something to do with it looking so extremely different, but am I just messing up somewhere?

Or is that just how it is?

Unfortunately, I haven't an example of what mine looks like. The Quest is charging as I'm typing now, and I haven't exported anything yet.

But it feels odd how watery the paint feels. And if I skip the Magic White, the colours are too powerful so skipping that base layer of white doesn't look like the answer either.

Help? Or do I just really need to practice more, and more, and more, and more?
