He also reminds viewers that it's okay to make mistakes and experiment - no one starts out as a perfect painter.
Towards the end of the episode, Bob adds in some final touches and details. He suggests adding in a few birds or other small creatures to the painting, but notes that it's up to the individual artist to decide what to include.
