Painting paradise #33

Hey Mark, great painting. Solid drawing, interesting brushwork and strong colour. I'd just suggest that you lighten and blue the colours more into the distant mountains, adding more depth. Also you could do with practicing the shapes of the snow in shadow and light. As can I. Have a good look at how John Crump does that. Copy a few of them and then do the same with a few photos. It's trickier than it looks of course to translate all the intricacies of a snow clad mountain into a simplified version on canvas. By focusing on those for a while you'll get the hang of it and figure out your own visual shorthand for it.

Second go, if at first you don't succeed, try, try again. At least I hope I succeeded this tineðŸ¤”

Hi Nancy, good effort on this painting. Lots of work gone in I can see. Overall the colour works well, and there are sections of nice painterly brushwork and the drawing is not half bad. Beware leaving those dark contrasty lines in the mountains that attract the eye. Ask yourself why would they be darker than any other shadow on that mountain. They wouldn't. Also ask yourself why would shadows in the distant mountains be darker than shadows in the foreground hills. Again, they wouldn't. Those in the foreground need to be darkened. Similarly, the shadow sides of the sheep need to be darker for a better sense of light and form. Look also at your tree which seems too symmetrical and pruned for a natural specimen. Making it less regular gives it more character and interest. Happy painting!
