Hello again, Kheir, nicer job on your range of lines, shapes, forms, spaces, colors and tones and painting technique. Greatest work as always. However, I'm still not getting enough of the looser and more wetter and more freer quality in your brushstrokes. Why don't you please just go ahead with wetting down both pages of one sheet of paper after more lightly sketching down the pencil strokes for the background layout.
As a result, as you can not only paint more damper brushstrokes, but also, you can paint more dryer lines and shapes for the details, especially when it comes to drybrush for the rocks. For most details, please look into warming up your colors and paints with some scrap paper, any ones you can find. Good luck to you.
Kheir,
As things get further away in space, they are more neutralised in colour, and their shape has less dimension. You do have some of this happening in your work, but you need to push it further to create more of a sense of depth within your work.
The closer the thing is to you, the more detail and colour you should put into your work.
These images have a lost focal point; what part of your image is the most important? What are the other two main characters, and finally, what are the five supporting elements to those three elements of main focus and secondary focus?
Following someone's work is informative. But make sure you are asking yourself questions when you are making your own or following along.
"Why does the picture work so well? or How come the artist used that shape?
What are my indirect shapes and leading lines to tell the narrative?"
These areas of storytelling are very important to the description of even your tree sean. The viewer can feel the narrative. So, if you feel lost, they will too and lose interest. Never forget you are telling a visual story. So tell one which they want to read it over and over again.
I hope some of this helps. Keep going. And try watercolour crayons. I think they could be a great additive of texture to your work.
All the best

JCML Fine Art ,
A huge thanks for all these pertinents advices your're giving to me ! It will helps a lot to refocus on what is important when I'm painting because sometime I'm too concerned by trying to avoid most of the technicals mistakes I'm used to that I forgot all the rest ... wich obviously is not a good thing .
So next time I start a new paint I won't forget all the context and concentrate more on all these elements you're talking about !
Wishing you a nice day =)
This is why looking at cave paintings, older art, or abstract works with little to no sense of form still compels the viewer to keep looking. The viewer doesn't care about what they are looking at, really. It's the sentiment, the story and the way it is said.
It is possible to make a fully accurate drawing but to be a dead one. Dead art is boring and hard to keep looking at. Keep that in mind even when you are doing still lives, and the shape exercises now available on this website.
If you can do it in one line or a simple shape, you are on to something special. And on that note, keep your music consistent with the narrative you wish to explore, or it will cause confusion, and the viewer could feel the confusion of feeling.
Art is not easy, but it's worthy.
Press on!
All the best,
