Awesome job with the Masterstudy Bierstadt! I'm loving it! It has a powerful value structure.
And i'm loving how that color scheme turned out! Did you add color on top of the values?
The 30min sketch doesn't read as well. But i think it's mostly a composition issue. Try turning it into
a thumbnail and adjust it after that. I mean, in the mastersutdy you have your foreground really
dark valued trees, a river that leads to the mountain, and the mountain, both being a light value.
It reads well and it has good composition too.
Or you could adjust the values more.
I turned your original in a grayscale, and my eyes went everywhere, i don't have a path to go on.
I tried adjusting that to explain better, i hope this helps.
