Don’t be so hard on yourself.

You actually attempted it and did a good job while also developing your skills as an artist.

I often think of doing the same but never get to that point … and most people are the same. You achieved something most people haven’t but wished they had.

And if you keep making more, they will only become better. I’m happy for you and I look forward to seeing more.

Oh, I just looked and yes it’s probably that. I didn’t completely follow the reference picture but that church building looks like it’s from Lauterbrunnen.

failing learning

(possibly still miserably, but that puts you in company with Van Gogh, etc.)

Keep growing!

I like this! I like it a lot, and I’d be proud to have painted it. The general aesthetic appeals to me, and I’m 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; it’s a very visually striking style.

Only read if you want constructive feedback:

If I had to guess what’s “wrong”, I’d say that it’s that the detailing over distance is inconsistent. You’ve 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 it’s 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.

I’m looking at it with fresh eyes and I can’t help but notice that it’s mostly natural things that are loosely detailed and everything built, save for the road, is sharply detailed. Was that on purpose?

haha, no. It’s just lack of commitment, I wasn’t 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. It’s 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.

Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don’t wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren’t sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don’t be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don’t be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.
