Trying to get to the details too soon. I keep forgetting about good process.

Seascape.
Only my second painting so I’m an absolute beginner and will still be for a long time. Would therefore appreciate any feedback. I struggled with many things including mixing accurate colours and values to match the reference. Also struggled to keep the colour puddles contained to small areas on the glass palette as it was difficult to scrape the oil paint up from the surface of the glass with a palette knife and the paint kept spreading across a wider area as I tried to mix colours. So I was frustrated about several aspects but overall it was still a positive experience as at least I was painting!

@Eva Hartman I said I can’t UN-see it, meaning when I look at the painting, the elephant is all I see!👍🏻

That's a very cool composition. Great job on the reflection of the trees. Nice painting!

@Samuel Earp I marked making them 3D, but that also applies to light & shadow, and mixing the right greens. Thanks!

Here is my attempt to make this painting a little better. I worked on the creek bed edge so it wouldn’t be so straight and worked on the rocks a little more and made the tree in the foreground a little bigger. Did that help? Should I say “Done!” with this one?

Hi Cecilia, I think that you did a great job technically! Good use of color, good rendering of shapes, great perspective. The thing that stands out to me is the composition. You did a really good job of copying the picture, but the composition doesn't make for a great painting because there is no 'eye-flow' - the trees in the foreground stop your eye from following the riverbed which seems to be the point of interest. You might strengthen the tree in the foreground (right) and make it a painting of the tree, or you could remove the center tree altogether and show more of the river. This is something I've been working on too because great photographs don't always make great paintings.

I am a retired university professor looking to improve my landscape painting. I work in both oils and acrylics, but so far only in the studio.
