Hey really nice work, the texture of the rocks and wave look awesome The trick to getting rocks painted is building up the different colours on top of each other and brush scattering, which you've nailed perfectly

thank you so much. its really pretty difficult to paint rocks and stone. even more difficult to understand the effect of light on them and their color. i was trying to practice that.
thankyou so much!

Lovely work, the splash looks really good, what is so hard to draw and i think you have done it well. The rocks look good as well, but it was the impressive wave that caught my eye!

The rocks are good, and i think if they where wrong they would stand out more because they would look odd. I think the picture looks really nice though

This is awesome !!

I love the way that you captured the motion of the wave.
I feel as if the wave is still moving.

Nice !!

IMHO you've done a great job with the rocks !!

I think the rocks are fine...



As my teacher says, "sometimes less is more"...
meaning that sometimes you can overdue an item
and it takes away the essence of the artist's
brush strokes, which are what make it so unique.

thank you so much! just some practice. but tis still pretty rough. the rocks were a tough job. and i couldnt get the level of detail i was striving for. if i did, this thing would take a couple of days more to complete. but i dont have time
