Landscapes-are-hard.This one's referenced off Tobi's awesomest photo, "The Warm Sunset" [link] . It didn't come out nearly as good of course.
Acrylics on canvas, bare nerves, and other artistic supplies.

Well done, good to see you trying your hand at something different.
The sun in the cloudy sky interplaying of the sea looks great.
The pier does not quite look right though, which is what I think detracts from the picture. There are no shadows being cast by the posts at the end. Plus the edges of each of the posts should be highlit from the sun.

You're rrright about the pier. I was just copying the photo mindlessly...

OM(utter)G ! You have changed a style !
Did it hurt?
Congrats for the seascape!
The perspective of the dock seems a bit queer, though.

Feeling amusing or something?
I'm not changing any style.
And it's not my first frigging seascape........it's my frigging second.

Hip-hip hooray to you, then.

regardless how how much it looks like the other, you still did a great job with the light. I'd probably darken the dock a bit for contrast if anything.

Ah..it'll sound to you like complete excuse-making, but the dock's actually a lot darker..the photo flash falls on it...=\
I wish they'd invent a bigger scanner or something.

Actually I know exactly what you mean. I have to try to scan things in pieces and then line them up in Photoshop. Unless the light is right, taking a picture does not necessarily turn out the best either.

Once again you've amazed me with your colour usage. Hey the dock looks similar to a guitar fretboard and pegs. Any connection?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you. And no, it's a coincidence\mistake. The dock's really different in the ref picture...

WOW! thats a bit of something different. you did a great job! it looks exactly like the photo!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nah, the photo has more reddish hue. But i've done indeed a great job by not throwing it out of the window in the process.

Wow I love this! That photo has really its own style. Great!!!

o_o omgeh! I was surprised to see this is a painting. it looked like a picture in the thumbnail! xD

Oh wow, this is a beautiful piece. Sure, it may not look much like the photo, but you gave it your own unique originality. I can imagine acrylics are harder for you since you use watercolors so much, but I must say you did an outstanding job on this. Looks like you've mastered acrylics with no problem.

Aye, thank you, now when i look at it it's okay. They usually look ugliest in the "birthing process".
