Hi. I've started painting again after a long break (5 years maybe) I just sort of lost my motivation to paint. I've done a few paintings in the past week and the one I've uploaded is the best one of the bunch.
I can see a few issues my self. I think the colour balance is off slightly on the bottom part. I would also have liked a lot more texture (it has some but I like more). Also a few darker patches in the sky area I don't like but the the paint was drying so fast I didn't blend it out in time.
I love working with undilluted oil paints but it's proving too expensive at the moment so I've been using acrylics (mainly undilluted), which are in my opinion not as nice to work with. I think that's why I've been struggling to get the textures I want. I also found my white paint was not of a great quality and used loads and loads and it's still a bit too transparent in places.
I did contemplate adding a little pop of colour somewhere but couldn't decide what to add so just left it as is.
Any constructive criticism for me so I can improve on the next one.
(and not feel compelled to go spend a small fortune on oil paints and texture mediums)
