okay this is something i painted about 2 months ago. the painting itself took about 4 months to complete. i'm going to go back to it this weekend or next week to fix some parts up. i need to work on the forground a little more. maybe add more value to the red leaves in front. i'll probably also tone down the yellow in the background.

That is so pretty. I'm awful at landscapes so I can't offer any advice. It looks perfect and beautiful to me. xd

wow. i remember this one. anything you should fix...-gets in super nitpick mode- the only thing i could see that could fathomably be improved in this (and its completely up to you, it looks fine how it is) would perhaps be the texture on the rocks. granted, they would be smooth from erosion by the water, maybe adding a rougher texture on the top (especially on the bigger rocks) would give it a more natural feel. the only reason i bring this up is because i think it would go better with the godly bark you've painted here and the leaves. i think some contrast between the texture in the rocks and the texture in the water would maybe make them easier to see? i dunno. im rambling now. i hope you understood what i meant.

I would love to give you some C and C but I think you already know what has to be fixed... xd

i think it's really beautiful, and you have really neat painting skills 3nodding I wish i was better at such things... but I really cant paint a pretty landscape xd

it's a very nice painting, but all the colors are too literal.. green grass, red leaves etc
there are always other colors lying within main colors [if that makes any sense to you].

there's actually a lot of hidden colors. the digital image kind of screwed that up. there's so much blue and green in there. you just can't seem them very well.
