Only my second ever oil painting!

Very well done for your second ever oil painting. I think you can double your skill pretty easily with one tip: thin your highlight paint for trees and bushes so that it's a sort of creamy texture, (just a touch thicker than lotion is probably the best I can describe it,) and then the paint will very easily come off the brush and sit in neat little leaf shapes on top of the shadow layer of the foliage, without the two layers mixing together too much. This will help to preserve some more contrast in your foliage which gives it that super vital depth we're all after.

And keep on posting! I love to see the progression of people's abilities.
