Description

My half of an art trade with :iconaquiloniuslupus:

Was determine to force myself to do a background, although I wanted to give up several times. I need a lot more practice with them if I want to improve! I'm not unhappy with this but I'm not super fond of it either, especially that pool of water. Well, moving on!

Hi blusl,
made my way over here via the da-speedpaint group and wanted to see how you were faring. I think the level of detail in the background on this piece is appropriate- it looks good. most importanly, the haze int he background helps establish depth and suggests an expansive background.

Having said that- i think you are overanalyzing what you are doing, trying to think about what you are painting and not what you feel. You literally are not seeing the forest for the trees! (sorry- just had to say it). Don't draw an individual leaf when a couple of scribbles will suggest a branch.

I highly recommend you paint some forest scenes from photos- and start playing with custom brushes.

I see it's been awhile since you've done a piece- hope you find time to do more!
