“Nice work Laura! You've managed to get a real impressionist look to this painting with your bold brushwork and broken colour, especially in the road and the sky. It's a strong design with large simple shapes though I'd like to see the edges of the road broken up more to add to the rustic charm of the place. The flower edging is a nice touch and I especially like the shape of your large tree on the left - really nice and varied with just enough detail to express the character of the tree. Your major hills are copying each other - always an easy trap to fall into. The drawing of the central barn is good but the other is a little off because the apex of the roof is too far to the right. Also you could have made the dark side of that building a touch darker to help with the form. Overall really a really nice result with just a few things to tweak.”

“A really pleasant scene Jessica with a lot going for it. The big fluid shapes are appealing, if a little oversimplified. The colour is strong, the greyed sky making the foreground look all that more colourful and inviting. Your poppies are well painted as is the shadow effect cast onto the distant hills by the low cloud. The subtle darker shapes in your field are receding as they should because they're not clearly getting thinner and closer together further away. That's the main reason the field is looking a bit flat, and also that the pathway isn't thinning out much as it approaches the buildings. Rethinking the path and the field would do wonders for this painting as that seems to be the weak link.”

“Hi Silvana, good work here. You've keep the value pattern of the painting strong and given it some punchy colour although I don't think the greys in the foreground are helping at all because they're all the same value as the yellows there so it loses its sense of form. Below is the greyscale comparison of yours versus mine so you can see what I mean. Another thing that's a little confusing is the lighter blue shapes within your dark trees behind the green bushes. Not sure if those are intended to be holes or lighter accents on the trees. Your figure is good although the head could be a little smaller - something I'm often guilty of too. That little dark strip on the path leading into the bushes looks a little odd, not least of all because it joins in a straight line to the bush on the right. Needs looking at. Just a few things to think about. Good work!”

“Good work Valerie, I can see the effort and struggle that's gone into this one. The green bushes have all become very similar in size and their layout is echoed by the dark hill behind and then again by the distant hills which all conspires to remove variety from the design - something our brain does automatically because it loves to put things in nice tidy rows so we must fight it constantly when painting. One place I failed in this too in my painting was where I put the tree directly above the figure which gives the feeling that she might be balancing it on her head. You've dutifully followed my poor example so I can't blame you for that one but it's a good lesson for us both. I like your lost edge in the mountains but you've muddied and muddled the sky around the tree which negates the recession you gained with the lost edge. Your figure's good, if a little laboured and too dark in the shadows which cancels out the glowing effect you so carefully created in the grasses there. Also you could have softened some more of the edges of the green bushes to stop them looking like cutouts. Your flowers are good but have become a little muddied around the edges and could do with some grass painting back in to cover some of the greys there and define a few edges. Overall a good effort with just a few things to look at.”
