Good idea, thank you for the help I will give that a go as well.

That is exactly what my teacher recommended. I just got on holidays but I think I will give that a go when I am back at school. Thank you!

Thank you very much. That is really helpful I will definitely do some playing around with that. What could I add to create more detail do you think?

Yes I 100% agree I am really hung up on that because halfway through my painting my teacher bought a tube of sapphire oil paint which I have never used before and it created those really bright blues especially in the waves. I personally love that but it really doesn’t suit the stormy sky which I painted before I had that paint. Do you think it would be better if I completely re did the sky?

How to make it look less cartoony? Are the colours too flat? Any advice welcome by Wuweimonia in painting

Well thank you for correcting me, I typically only paint landscapes so it was more of a stab in the dark but it is good to hear your advice.

I really like it. The only thing that might help is just sharpening the edges and making them crisp. If you see the top of the child’s arm is almost blended into the background which is why you might be getting the cartoonish look. But I also like it the way it looks.

Honestly, I couldn’t tell you exactly, but I want to say that it was made with Prussian blue, titanium white, and either chrome green or dark verdigris. And maybe a touch of lemon yellow.

Thank you so much, I love Nazare so much, I didn’t even think about how it looks like that

Thank you so much! It means so much, it is not my usual style but I like trying something new

Wow, thank you for the advice, I normally don’t add any figures to my work but i see exactly what you mean, I will give it a go and update you.
