hey!
i really like your thumbnails, especially the abstracted/imagined smaller black and white ones at the bottom. you've got a good eye for composition, a lot of them are well weighted and i am excited to see you apply that to more finished pieces.
i think that your colour matching could use some practice, it's close but not entirely convincing! watch out for yellow undertones in your green, and reflection colours.
in your swamp paintings i am really distracted by the direction and size of your brush strokes, they really flatten the image and make the perspective seem unrealistic. it seems like a flat plane of colour that hangs down, and i think that's an area that you lose a lot of depth. in perspective it is just as important to know how to lay lights and darks according to distance, as well as which colours are more prominent in the foreground but are dropped by the eye as you get further back.
i think that in some aspects you are putting the cart before the horse, rendering before you have your forms laid down correctly for instance. you clearly have a good work ethic though, and your studies are intentional and plentiful, so i am excited to see what you do in the future!
keep it up!
