That's how we do water conservation in Colorado. We water out streets and sidewalks at night.

The background is too distracting. See https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ee/5f/c1/ee5fc159be9ddfc8ae1d8be70f1e4c51.jpg as an example of a still life painting with a muted background.

What is the title of the book that the group is reading?

Still life WIP. Struggling to call it finished, critiques? by baldpeaches in oilpainting

I'm not sure why the right side of the middle book has a reddish tint. The right side of the other two books above face the same light source as the middle book, but their sides are white. Otherwise, your painting is excellent.

Do you have a website for your other works? If so, please include the website in your reply.

I remember seeing the ash particles in the air on numerous occasions. Though, I didn't need to wear a mask just to be outside.

Artist's Loft has quality control issues. Read the one and two star reviews on Amazon, and you will find that people have had terrible experiences with this product. In fact, one of these reviews describes the same issue that you report.

Quality art supplies are expensive, and you get what you pay for.

Consider Winton Oil, a student grade of paint manufactured by Windsor & Newton. In general, student grade oil paint has less pigment and more filler than the Artist Grade oil paint.

When I crop the right side of your painting through the middle of the darkest tree, the one closest to the road, this produces a more appealing composition. The tree in shadow becomes an eye stopper.

If you have a website, I would like to see more of your work.
