Description
Here's a fun color practice! I really enjoyed painting this.The photograph I looked at is here: dadoux.deviantart.com/art/Mont⦠by dadouX .
Is that colorful enough for the "color " challenge?
I tried to put as many in as I could!
PS. Also a rock and water study! More bang for your doodle.

Awesome! The reflections in the water look great- this must have been challenging. I clap for you

Your doodles are jawdropping!
Good colours, good water/rock study, impressive detail.
Only comment would be about the saturation of the green reflection, but someone's already said it.

Yeah.... everyone picked up on that green, it's hard to miss... but I'm surprised I haven't gotten grief for the hot pink rocks yet!
Thank you!

I'm kinda mesmerized by this digital painting of yours
i really love it :3

Thanks! What is your favorite part of the painting?

I really admire the way you've painted water ripples, and the reflection which is a bit more saturated than the original pic.
yup, very interesting work on the reflection!
then the shore in the background, with desaturated colours perhaps(
Of course what mesmerized me was the almost elliptic shape of the rocks combined with it's own reflexion, it's a good pic from ~dadouX ; and your choice for warmer colour on rockies pleased to my eyes.
Sorry for my bad english ^^' dear artist

No, that's perfect... knowing what works helps me with the next ones, and I am doing a series of landscapes...
I did use cooler, less saturated tones in the background, although still quite a lot of it is warm squiggles
I will try to accomplish similar results in my upcoming work

oow ... "a series of landscapes", it sound pretty good
Bet you're gonna make me travel through your artworks,
as you do with this one!
Oh! i also preferred your point of view rather that the one of ~dadouX
it's like if you were sitting at his left when you painted it x)
you've opened a few space on the left part of your work from the foreground to the shore in the background and i appreciated it too
i've seen great paintings based on landscape pictures, but most of them are traditional or digital copies of a 'picture pattern', which is a good exercise to rehearse the use of colours, light and shadows etc, but remain a copy :/
Thanks for sharing & explaining how you treated some parts of your work again 
and as you know i like understanding how you (and other artists) paint or draw, so
and i never doubt you're gonna bring the house down again in your upcoming works

It's a study! That's not amazing

I love it, and I think the colors are great. I would have said something about satisfying quickies, but of course I mean it artwise.

all kinds of satisfying quickies are good!

You did an amazing job on this. Those trees ook fantastic. What a great scene to begin with but I have to say I like the your version better!

Thanks... I really enjoyed painting this scene... I think the ones I love to paint turn out better, for sure.

Wow, you really outdid yourself, Mynti. 
I noticed your comment about using 100% opacity and I hope you don't mind me asking -- do you have custom brushes you use? The reflections don't look hard edged at all, so I'm assuming you use something other than the standard hard-round.
π: 0 β©: 1
Awww! 
Of course I don't mind you asking
Here's a screenshot to help you further see what I mean.. [link]
I tend to switch up this one brush in a variety of different ways to achieve the effects I like
I hope that helps?

Yes, thank you, that's actually really helpful! I notice you work on layers, too -- do you find that to be helpful? I wasn't sure people did when they were painting when there's no line art, but I guess I was wrong.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yep... I throw the back stuff on the background layer... sky, the water base, the big blobs I start out with at the beginning. Then I layer it according to how it looks in the picture plane.. midground in the middle, foreground on the top layer... signature, details on the very top layer. This allows me to say... put clouds in the sky later behind the trees without having to repaint branches or paint around them.
Working in layers is one of the biggest advantages to digital painting vs. traditional. I have lassoed a tree and scaled it down without effecting anything else. I can warp and correct my paintings because they are layered logically in this fashion
Try working the way you feel most comfortable, but experiment with techniques and workflow methods... I have done this many times and usually learn from the experience, even if I do not work the same way 100% of the time.
For really fast paintings (30 minutes or so) .... I paint on one layer. That's usually the foundation layer (the "background" layer) for my longer paints.

art is win! 
π: 0 β©: 1
oh yeah
π: 0 β©: 1
lol you probably don't suck at everything else, your probably just better at painting 
But then there is other mediums like photography which you could suck at, but im mainly talking about 'drawing' arts.. so lets not go there, i cant be bothered
