Daily 33 by Papercut
I'm trying to slow down a bit again. By using simpler subject matter, I get to focus more on harmonising the colors and values in a more natural way. (This is actually Daily 34, my bad.)

Thanks! Also, I knew I would mislabel these eventually. Wellp, sorry about that.

Thanks for your advice on "loose"-looking painting. Looking at some old ones, I see I was rapidly making many transparent strokes in an attempt to get a "painted look." It was a mess.
The nice colours here (especially the sky) give a feeling of... tranquility. Maybe birds could add to the scene--show depth and point the viewer in a direction, perhaps? Sorry for the long comment.

@asassin667 Cool, I'm happy I could help. Birds is not a bad idea, it's a bit cheesy, but so are most of my paintings tbh. I think it would work well.
@Lilyflower Thank you! No worries, I think reference is crucial to be able to improve. When you learn, you need to absorb information from somewhere, and reference contains a lot of that. Use photographs, real life and professional painters work that you like. But don't just copy the reference, I think it's better to spend most of your time trying to create your own paintings, using the reference where you feel like your knowledge is lacking (how does this type of rock actually look? what kinds of clouds could be here? etc).
@Flame Blade Thanks!
