Thanks for the critique, Vasburg.
I really dont use the lasso tool very much. Also in my paintings I try to put hard edges in focal points and make edges more blurry in outer areas so they stand out less. I guess im overdoing it. Need to find that balance. Another reason for blurry edges is that the part is left unfinished since I start out kind of blurry and build up the picture and then I get lazy and leave some areas a bit unfinished.
As for the 2nd point, content and its design is a struggle. I tried using trees, watermills, towers, but none of them worked because it ruined the scale. I tried to use buildings that are unnaturaly huge, but I did it wrong. I think I should study some artists who place massive structures in environments and learn what works.
