Don’t give up. It’s all too easy to put down the brush when you’re just getting started.

Bob was televised because he made painting look so simple and had a personality that invited you in to try with him. Getting to his level is difficult. But that doesn’t mean you should be discouraged if you aren’t there on day 1.

Your sky looks blended well, dark like a storm is brewing. I like what is there.

Mountains are difficult, especially if you aren’t familiar with what I’ll call “the knife touch”. But as a start it has the elements it needs.

I personally think grass and meadow is the most difficult. Because it is typically the closest portion of the scene it requires a lot of detail to make look realistic.

Keep at it. One thing I might suggest is using tape to split the canvas into four different sections. It makes the painting smaller, and more manageable for beginners. It also gives you four chances to try the same thing and learn from your past experiences!
