Land scape practice

More practicing. I was watching a tutorial by Hardy Fowler on painting landscapes. I am really happy how this turned out as it is officially my first ever painting done with no lines at all. What do you think ?

I feel like some of the lighting is a little bit airbrushy, and too blurry for how in focus it should be, but otherwise it looks great! I especially love the sense of perspective that the car lends to these huge rock formations! Be proud of yourself!

Good road trip scene! I like seeing beautiful scenic vistas whilst those Volkswagon looking vans are always charming.......Digging the swirling clouds in the sky too.

Back for updoots =). I forgot to ask, how long did this take you? My first paints of environment were 20+ hours long, hahaha!

This is beautiful. OK, "rule of thirds", blah blah, but it's clear from your profile you know all of this and more -- way more, than I do.

What I especially like is how crisp this turned out, despite the lack of line work. The only thing I don't "believe" in this image is the mountain in the background, and I'm sure you'll sort it out as you go. Only tip? I think you could leverage a texture brush (e.g. dots, scattered lines -- complex brush) in combo. with a blender to generate sand and other "unknowns" a little more believably. I'm a big fan of shortcuts, and will share my brushes if you want to shoot me a PM. Best!!!

This was something like 5 to 6 hours on a iPad from start to finish. I think had I dedicated a little more time to it I could have made it more believable all around. I think I might take a month and devote as much time as I really like to painting landscapes. This is the first time I really did one with the land scape being the soul subject.
