I painted this using the sketch. I enjoyed painting mountains in distance. I would like to know what else I could do better in this piece.
Thankyou for your feedback, much appreciated. Will definitely work on those.
Take a look at https://www.twoinchbrush.com/painting/fishermans-paradise how Bob’s peninsulas are at a 90 degree angle.
Very nice!
first of all, welcome to TIB! Your technique is very good. The mountain, stones, evergreens, bushes are all well expressed. To my eye, you have a good grasp on how to render each element, so the other areas of focus would then be composition, value, and color.
As a novice, these are my thoughts:
Perhaps there could be an additional plane between the mountains and the first peninsula, like foothills or distant trees. I think the water might benefit to be slightly darker than the sky, especially as it gets closer to the viewer.
I can't wait to see more of your work, you are clearly very talented!
Thankyou so much for your genuine feedback.
I just wanted to clarify that my 'as a novice' comment was referring to myself as the novice! I re-read it, and realized it could sound like the advice was intended FOR novices, but what I meant was that it is coming FROM a novice haha.

Hi Navdeep! The distant mountains look great. I think a couple things might help. First, the top peninsula on the left looks like it’s pointing up. U think you’re going for the illusion of the land going away from the viewer, but the trees on top never get smaller. Also, there isn’t a clear horizon line for the water. I do see the water line back there but it’s too close and in value to the mountains. There are really good things too so don’t let this get you down. Overall it’s pretty darn good!
