Wow! This is really good! You definitely got down that 60's vibe! The clouds are just awesome and I love the sky gradient; it looks pretty realistic! Also the detail that you put into the road with the cracks is awesome too! However, (I'm not too sure what they're called) the rock structures you have going on seem to be pretty much duplicates, especially the one in the middle and the one off to the left. Since I haven't ever been to the desert I'm not 100% sure how these structures were carved by nature, but either way, I think it would be good to get some more variation in rock structure there. Also you duplicated your men in this picture; they're both muscular, both have black hair and hair style, both have the same shirt, pants. Also I feel like the farther away man either has too small of hips or his shirt just poofed out and made his waist seem bigger than his hips. Also, since it's bright out, maybe the car's windshields would have some shine to them? Talking about the cars, I love the attention to detail in the spokes and the hints of different engine parts. A small detail you could have included some tire track marks to further push the realism. But other wise good job! Hope you're enjoying design school!

Your color palette for this piece is completely spot on. The dusty oranges and browns with the blue sky really add onto this picture. And I like the details in the road, particularly the cracks, it really gives texture. I think the only thing I would like to see more is highlights on the gas sign and structure. It's the only thing that doesn't pop as much as the rest of the piece. Great work!

Thank you so much for the advice and the compliments! I looked at a lot of pictures of the american desert to get the right colors for the sky and the sand. I would have liked to maybe add some more details to the gas station but unfortunately I couldn't find as much pictures of gas stations from the 60's so I kind of had to wing it. However, personally I don't mind about the gas station because now the focus is more on the road and the open desert symbolizing a feeling of freedom that I wanted this painting to have from the moment I got the idea for it.
Again, thanks a lot for the comment! It was particularly satisfying to hear that I got the colors right since color is such an important part of every painting and the kind of atmosphere and feeling you want it to have.

Ah yeah, that does make sense. I think the gas station was a really minor thing for me, and I do agree that the slight lack of detail on it really does emphasize on the rest of the scene!
