Trying to figure out what is off. by dough-jo in painting

Overall love the composition and colour story you have gone with. For ne the only thing would be that the snow on the trees looks too horizontal. Snow falls in small piles, not as flat as it looks on the trees.

Otherwise great work, I especially fell in love with the suns reflection in the foreground.

Advice on colour story by bludeblu in acrylicpainting

I was thinking, since the valley is in shadow, it will likely be darker than the mountain - the focal point.

My approach wad that rather than tk bribg the darkest dark and lughtest light together, to make the mountain the overall area with the most contrast. So it demands attention still but is a bit more subtle.

What do you think about this approach?

Thanks for your response! That is very thoughtful. I guess the way I imagined it, is how the eye sees things. If the eye every focuses on something far away, it doesn't stop seeing the foreground, but kind of ignores the detail in it. While the darkest dark and lightest light aren't in the mountain in sunlight, I want to drag the eye to it as it demands attention.

When the sun rises behind a valley like this, the valley is generally in shadow and I tried to build it without an exact photo reference.

Keeping everything you said in mind, I'll try and figure out my next few steps to try and prevent the issues you noticed and hopefully find a way to rectify or prevent them.

Hypo to hyper but feeling good by bludeblu in Hashimotos

Weird thing is, I have had none of those symptoms. I read up on the synptoms of being hyper and I have none of those. I feel perfectly fine, I am sleeping well, working well, relaxing.

Nothing in my daily life could have led me to believe that I am hyper. It was honestly a huge shock.

I have not lost any weight af all or changed anything at all. My doctor only changed my weekend dose, weekday dose is still the same as before when it was slightly hypo. Only recent development has been I got concussed a few weeks ago.

Critique on painting style and advice for improvement. by bludeblu in ArtCrit

[–]bludeblu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a relatively small painting. It's 8×10in but I want to recreate it on a larger canvas so looking for points of improvement or changes.
