ooooh the baltic coast- lucky you. hey- do you ever halfway through painting use the flip tool to flip the painting horizontally, and paint on it for a little bit before flipping it back again? Your perspective, weighting, and compositions are already super good- so you dont really need to do it- but if you havent tried the trick, check it out- flipping it you instantly see things to fix. once it looks as good backwards as it does forward, you know you nailed it. anyways, great painting, cheers splotch!
A friend of mine showed me the trick some years ago. He did some huge airbrush paintings and stood with a mirror in his studio to see the picture with new eyes. I seldom use this easy technique though it is very powerful. You´re right: I should use it regularly in my work flow - thanks for the advice!
