I share it even though itās not very good only because Iām using internet as a my journal lately. lol. I hope you donāt hate it too much!
I like this! I like it a lot, and Iād be proud to have painted it. The general aesthetic appeals to me, and Iām particularly fond of the left half of the valley. I love the color work, how loud the highlights are against the darker colors without being offensive to the eye; itās a very visually striking style.
Only read if you want constructive feedback:
If I had to guess whatās āwrongā, Iād say that itās that the detailing over distance is inconsistent. Youāve got some things that are sharply detailed at a far distance (the church) and other things that are loosely detailed at that same distance (the trees). The line work also seems a little wobbly (speaking as someone who does vastly worse line work). The last thing is that the very far off snow is really, really, really bright, which seems to suggest to the eye that itās much closer than it ought to be.
I agree with you assessment. Consistency in detail is an issue here. I changed my mind few times while painting it, whether to make the details loose or closely knit.
Iām looking at it with fresh eyes and I canāt help but notice that itās mostly natural things that are loosely detailed and everything built, save for the road, is sharply detailed. Was that on purpose?
haha, no. Itās just lack of commitment, I wasnāt sure where I wanted to keep the focus so everything came haphazardly. When I see finished art pieces on the web, artists usually mention the time they spent on it. Itās like 10, 12 hours sometimes. I sort of give up after 2 hours. Very rarely I paint for 3 to 4 hours and difference is noticeable in those pieces.
