I saw I’m supposed to also post art I’m not happy with. I had a blast painting real scenery with a friend but really dislike my results. 10/10 will totally do it again in two weeks but also with my Mom who’s never painted outside of her house either.

FWIW, I think your version has more depth and detail. The colors you created gave the rocks life. As always, great job.
Thank you!
C’mon this totally rocks! Seriously though, I like it.
🤣🤣🤣
I’m a non artist but I like it anyway. I dig the sky.
Thank you! The clouds at the time kind of looked like that when I started. But an hour and a half later they changed a lot, plus we got rained on in the middle.
It looks more dramatic than the subject you were trying to capture, sure, but I think calling it “not so good” is a massive disservice! It’s moody and atmospheric, and flows nicely. I think it’s great.
Thank you, maybe I’ll see it that way in time. Right now it feels too cartoonish for what I was going for.
That might be a colour thing, the subject you’re drawing is waaaay more “boring” in colour. Or maybe it’s a case of scale; your other work focuses on much much smaller scales; peoples’ faces, for instance (I’ve been following your work since the Samuel L Jackson series!), and the way light works on bigger things like these rocks might be way different?
You know way more about art than I do though, just trying to figure out what you might be seeing!
I think you have a good point, and I see what you mean. The way I painted it made a big thing seen small and the lighting makes it feel really close instead of in the distance. Plus the brush I used for the leaves sucked for that task.
Ah good eye, yeah the rocks do seem closer here than in the shot. Maybe this kind of subject needs a bigger approach, i.e. you zoom in and work in smaller squares to form one big picture?
The leaves look pretty good to me, though! Probably a subjective thing ✌️
Fair points!
