This is my second painting ever, just starting out. Trying to understand how much is right for liquid white to start, I think too much paint for the sky and not enough for the bright side of the mountain, I did think making the trees w/ the knife was easier to control than fan brush. Felt like this would be easier since only 3 colors. Having trouble keeping my paints “separated” once I go back to pallet after painting something….i seem to get too much paint on edge corner of knife and maybe not enough paint across entire knife edge - having trouble getting that snowy effect / looks more like sloppy paint mix….tbh, painting looks better in photo than real life. Any beginner tips based on observations would be appreciated. Thx

Nicely done ✌️
Looks really good for a second ever. The more I paint, the more inclined I am to use less liquid white (and especially very little if using liquid clear). For mountains, I scrape off as much of the darker underpaint as possible, then use the lightest possible pressure with a very small amount of that thick Ti white paint on the edge of the knife to highlight. Good luck and have fun experimenting!
2nd painting, no way. You did great
