smrr, I sure hope I’ll learn a lot :D You can always go back to Nathan Fowkes’ class after doing the one you’re doing now. I’m excited for that one too.
Fedodika, Thank you.. yep, I was going rather hard edged because I don’t like it when it all looks fuzzy and soft, when in reality they are looking rather crisp. But maybe I need to find a good balance. I’m planning on doing more of these, so I sure hope I’ll figure it out eventually :)
Archreux: Thank you. Good point… should push them a bit more… I’m trying to stick to painting what I see, so no sneaking in red when I see no red. But maybe I just need to look a bit harder… :D
ramalooke: Thank you! Niice idea.. I tried stylizing the clouds in one of them, but exaggerating the entire image sounds fun too. So many things to try :D Thanks!

Boring. I still hate these midground trees.

Tried using a different brush with more texture, to get rid of some of the clean, digital look. Didn't work.
Light was fading too quickly, so just slapped down some color. Interesting thing was that the heavy clouds were blue/grey/purple with cheesy pink color and rims, but beneath that, near the horizon, there were no clouds but sky. Which had a very different color - more cyan-yellow.
...just to prove that I still do other things than looking out of my window :P
