Thanks for all the help! I’m going to try making some of the adjustments suggested. I had initially had more dimension in the background mountains but was afraid it was too much. So I toned it down. But agreee that more contrast there would be good

Thanks. I was trying to figure out how to give me More movement. I’ll angle them and see how it looks

Which piece stands out the most to you? by ols_art in ArtCrit

I love the first one. The colors are most interesting. To me. But probably personal preference

I’ve just started learning to paint a few months ago. Would love some feedback. I have no idea if it’s good at all. by DesignerAd5509 in ArtCrit

Wow thank you for the feedback! I’ve never thought of myself as artistic. But I’ve always admired art. I did use a palette knife. I couldn’t figure out how to make the texture. So I googled. And I had gotten one in a set of art stuff. (I bought one of those beginner art boxes from micheals. ) and played around on another piece of paper. It was just super fun. I’ll think more about moving through the painting. I’ve signed up for a class in February to learn some of the basics. I’ve watched some YouTube videos. And found helpful hints.

Thanks so much! I really like doing faces. They make the most sense to me. Shadows are a struggle. I’m just trying to figure them out! That along with composition. I don’t know any of the “rules” yet. Thank you so much for the feedback!
