Hi Anselmi! Welcome! I'm also a recently arrived memer of the forums, tough I did make my acount some time ago. It's absolutelly great to have such high quality feeback as you can get here, and I've missed it deeply so it's nice for me to come back and it's great to get to know new people! You painting looks great, and I can totally tell you are into acrylics and traditional media, the result does feel painterly. Considering this background of yours, have you tryied out some texturized brushes? With crispy edges or a nice flow and pressure control? I think you would have lots of fun with some creative brushes, because it feels more like traditional media: accidents happen and they can get you somewhere new!
I think you could also take a look at the idea of contrast, making things look diffenrete in intensity from each other, I guess specially in two aspects: edges and color saturation. Like, making your edges go softer and bluried as the buildings fade away in the distance, and lesse saturated in color as well. The red you used on the rooftops is pretty much as ibrant in the first house then in the last one, which seems to be far more distant. Some bounce light would also make wonders for the sense of immersion in your painting. You have a nice blue sky with sunlight, a nice way to cast some nice cool shadows and play with reflected light. This village seems so intriguing and invinting already, can't wait to see more of your artwork!
For edges, I highly recomend that you check out the blog Muddy Colors! I do love their articles about edges (and pretty much everything else!) I'd also recomend a wooonderful book called Color and Light, by james Gurney, it's such a clarifying book!
