Description This started as an environment practice - but I hate practicing with no "goal" so it got a little more details - and a dragon I still seek for a good way of painting trees in a close and medium distance but I'm quite happy with the grass and hills

Okay, am I the only one who thinks this would be beyond perfect to feature as 'picture pages', or even the front cover of a story book?

aww thanks for your kind words  
But I'm afraid this story book first has to be written

this is so beautiful, I love the colors, and that dragon is really cute!!

The grass in the foreground is really nice. My only critique would be for the pine trees, their texture seem to be too "mechanical", but maybe it's just me

Thank you so much  
Yeah the pine trees are indeed wrong, others and I are seeing it too
And thanks for the feedback, this gives me the opportunity to do better next time

Wow, this is super nice. I feel your deciduals are great, the pines bothers me a bit but I wouldn't know why, they don't see to med as well. Very nice effects on the distant forests and with the sun rays.

Thank you  
I know what you mean, I'm not happy with the trees, too. I drew the pines without reference, I think that was the problem.. in reality they are less "dense".
However, I wanted not to spend too much time on this to get back to my mermaid  
But finally got over my environment art block

That's a nice thing I've made some progress on my next project too, since I had a character block, I'm going for this naval battle, I've posted a prework picture of it.

But yeah this environment is very cool, I think I do distance better than me. I should try doing more "open" scenery painting too.
