Very nice EG , you definately have an individual style going there mate.

Can I just make a couple of suggestions for you here ?

Number 1 ,,,,the far mountain range , next time if you have a damp piece of cotton pad or tissue paper handy before it dries , just use it to soften away the hard edge of the top of the mountains.

Number 2 ,,,,, you have allready noted the prob with the foreground rock , I would suggest it really needs to be a whole lot darker to distance it more from the rock in the middle ,, mabe even at this stage a quick one stroke wash of very heavy mix of french ultramarine over it ,, but you cannot faff with it or it will ruin it , just a one stroke operation.

I think you are using green from a tube ?? dont know if you are but I mix mine from black / paynes grey + cad yellow to get a more natural green .

Please dont take anything I say as criticism as I cannot do any better ,, I am just offering a different viewpoint and would welcome anyone to do the same to anything I put up here .

I love the feeling of the heat you have generated in this pic very clever .

Your paintings are bright + happy looking ,, I guess it reveals the way you are .

Looking forward to your adventures in acrylic , I haven't a clue never been there

since this was a 'test' I didn't bother with the far ranges at all, just plopped em in ... lol no bleed or softening, in fact in the middle distance the green is going to be a lot more yellowish or raw sienna.

The greens are mixed using Cyan bluish, some avignon orange and or brown stildegrain, or lemon yellow all Maimeriblu colors.

As for the rock formation, I don't really subscribe to the 'opposing corners being dark' methodology, however some of the rock needs to be darker and will attempt that on the next go. The rock formation needs a lot of detail in my mind so have to figure out how much and how to go about it in acrylics.

If crits or comments would have upset me, all my stuff would be in a closed file and not posted on line... lolol no problem at all, we all have differing viewpoints, makes life interesting.
