Description
Sparkyyy's February 23rd Speed-paint Landscape Challenge fav.me/d4q5m7cReally great reference image to work off of. The sky in this reminds me of Jupiter XD looking at the thumbs of this I really completely got the colors wrong and I think I could have pushed the atmospheric distance fog more. Also, still really trying to get texture in my speed paints. think I could have pushed that further as well. overall... really liked this one. was more calming.
2hrs PS CS3

Oh! Yours turned out wonderfully! I love all those hatching brush strokes in there, it gives it a lot of texture. I also like how you handled the little house on the hill, even though it doesn't have a lot of detail it still has the overall shape and feeling of the original. Great work! ^^

yeah, I took a note from Marla who just hinted at the fact the house was there as well. Thought that was a nice way to approach it, because really cant focus on those details in the image, you have to get the over all feel of that it was conveying. I think that's sometimes something I forget to do. ^_^ Thank yous!

Very nice, you're right the colours aren't quite right but not too far off and it looks very nice too. I notice too and on everyone elses I've seen that you all made the house bigger than it is in the picture. This one was a total nightmare for me couldn't get to grips with it at all, was getting to lost in the details maybe.

yeah, the perspective in this was trickey... I did make that house bigger looking back on it. 
Thanks so much for your feedback!

It's not a major problem it's just something I noticed in everyone's pieces, I think it's because you make it more important in your mind because you are focusing on it so it comes out bigger, like when people draw eyes too big in a portrait because they are subconsciously looking at them with more importance. I was worried about the time alot on this one too, I found it the most difficult of the lot. I think I'd change my approach next time and draw all the hills out then add the fog on a seprate layer rather than doing them both on the same layer because it made painting it a total nightmare.

This is so beautiful. I'll never understand how paintings with such depth can be made in a couple of hours!!

I love the rolling hills and how you suggested their texture with this kind of parallel lines and I love the colors you got too, it just looks so warm and serene ^^ Only thing is I think the values were a bit darker in the bottom of the image

yeah, in yours the thumb looks dead on to the original pic.... mine... not so much. Looking back on it now I wish I took more time for that. XD
Thanks again Marla! Loved talking with you!
