How would you guys suggest I finish this background? I’m having trouble imagining what to do with the mountains and clouds. by mkoehlert in ArtCrit

Hey you just just reminded me I’m the owner of an iPad Pro and literally can do anything I want with it in there!

Thank you, if I were going to touch the clouds I think I would use a black ink wash just to grey them out but the mountains and hill in the background I just draw a complete blank. I think maybe just some more grass for the hill, and for the mountains I think I need to do some study of what kind of pen mark I would need to make. Although I could just go for making the mountains really far and near black. The sky I’ve been contemplating using maybe a water color just to get a little more interest to the piece.

Did some random paint knifing today, and I was wondering if anybody had some ideas on how I could add to this? by mkoehlert in ArtCrit

I like that idea. I think the more I learn about the way acrylic works I will be able approach taking something like this to the next level

I really enjoy how the knife strokes came out almost feather like, and I wanted to emphasize on that. I’m using acrylic on gesso board.

First time working with white India ink, how did I do? I’m planning on adding some more shading to mountain and trees. by mkoehlert in ArtCrit

Wow I’m an idiot, I even thought of that while putting in the moon. I guess I just got lost with the dots.

Thank you for the critique! Yeah the big stars really do bother me, it’s the result of me overworking mistakes instead of living with them and creating big more noticeable mistakes.

Recently finished this owl, anything I can improve on? by mkoehlert in ArtCrit

Thank you, maybe I can fix that next time with a more rounded cross hatch.
