Musidora: The Bather 'At the Doubtful Breeze Alarmed', also known as The Bather, is a name given to four nearly identical oil paintings on canvas by English artist William Etty. The paintings illustrate a scene from James Thomson's 1727 poem Summer in which a young man accidentally sees a young woman bathing naked and is torn between his desire to look and his knowledge that he ought to look away.

Now that I’ve followed seven painting tutorials by Bob Ross, here is my first attempt at painting a landscape using what I learned. Bob encourages his viewers to use his techniques to create their own worlds, and so I used my own color choices and composition here, made up entirely from my imagination. Bob uses a lot more brown and gray than I like to paint. So I let loose and used brighter colors. Unlike Bob, I used a set of five basic mixing colors of Royal Talens gouache in CMYKW. This little painting is 4.5” square on cotton paper.
