Something different, wanted to do a speedpainting.
I decided to paint a landscape (i did only one or two before, looking forward to your advise) and the same scene in different seasons, which is also something new for me.
I gave myself 30 min to see what i can do in such a, for me, very short time. Also i may should have looked up some references before....
Spring: first version i did
The two big problems i have with this one, is the boring composition and the colours.
I did the different seasons in the same scene, so the composition wont change.
The eye needs resting places, but i have the feeling that the whole right side is a big resting place, without an interesting focus point to compensate.
About the colours, i think they are too saturated?
The difference between the hill in front and one step back to the right isn´t big enough, same for the forest and the hill which is farthest away.
winter: second one, was faster because the layout was already there.
Need to practice painting trees without leaves......
I don´t like the edge between the forest and the second hill in front of it, it looks too sharp.
Also the snowflakes are to big and are completely lost on the hills.
But i kinda like the snow pattern and the thinner snow around the tree and stone.
summer: third and last til now
i get more like a savanna feeling looking at this, think should be less yellowish and a stronger light? i don´t really feel the warmth neither of the summer nor the savanna.
Looking forward to your advise on the composition and the colour choices.
On an "epic" landscape i think i would find a strong focus point and more interesting view, but in such a "normal" scene, i´m not so sure. Maybe with a more interesting light setting, which didn´t fit into my 30 min cap.
Planning on doing the autumn also on this one and then, maybe in another scene, different daytime's and weather.
