Ah nice dude, it felt really good tbh! Haha I don't know, you caught me. Probably because I did those studies after I began painting the piece. And that I am a coward. :P
Thank you for that man. I have to say though, the values were under a green layer which I used just to get started with the colors! Otherwise I had already figured out the values. But I still didn't succeed with the painting anyways and I ended up abandoning it.
I do recommend having two pieces to work on. Just switch between them when you start to get bored or don't know where to push pixels!
But thanks man, always need to be reminded of that anyway.
It came out great man, I like that vertical composition. Kicks my butt into gear. I wanted to get a similar feeling with the focal point like you did here. But I think you did a muuch greater job on it.
Well, what defines a spring forest anyways? It's completely up to you! Even if there aren't any leaves I still feel that it's a place of life. Might be the green grass comming in there pretty strong with it's hue. The deer/moose is disappearing a little bit into the tree though. Might be intentional?
I also painted on one layer this time! Fun times :D
Haha let's have a hangout only dedicated to staring out Craig and Min.
Anyways here are mine
I should paint with a harder brush more often. I just realized that 5 minutes before finishing. I'm way more happy with this than the last piece. Still started slow with it though. That's a bummer!
Also posting the one that I didn't finish.
