Nurannoniel - Hmm, about your painting. I'm thinking that it's acrylic yes? I'm not really liking the use of white in this picture. The colours of the blue, brown and green look really dulled out because of the white mixed in. I suggest using white minimally. It's not really something that should be used only to adjust the value of the colour, in my opinion. Also, I suggest mixing more colours, primary colours. Some parts look like it came straight from the tube, which looks too strong for the piece. I have a lot to say about it, but I'm only going to comment on colours right now.
*Nods* Yes, that's right. I've never really used watercolour or oils. :/ technically there isn't any white; only light blues and "parchment." However, that kind of detail only shows in RL. Thank you for pointing that issue out, I'll see if I can change that up a bit.
Ah, I see now... Any ideas on how to how to tone those stronger areas down by any chance? It's an issue I've had in the past and haven't quite figured out how to adapt to it yet.
Thank you!
The thing I'd recommend most is experimenting on your own. First I'd say that maybe if you establish a colour scheme, it'd be good to mix colours to achieve that colour scheme. For example, if you had a cool colour scheme, the red would stand out too much to fit in, so you would mix in cool colours(a little bit maybe) such as blues and greens to achieve a more cool tone.
But aside from that, if you're not familiar with the colour wheel, look into it a bit. Red blue and yellow are primaries, with mixing those colours, you can create a variety of tones for every colour. x.x; the basics of painting. Try doing an underpainting, which is kind of a lighter and more dilute painting and planning of where your finished painting would head. You do this in the beginning to get an idea of where values, dark and light go. It might help. Studies before the painting(such as sketching, pastel drawings, small paintings, etc.) are helpful as well;
