No in fact, the idea is not simple. I'm sorry. It seems that you thought about the point of view. You really imagine this landscape. This is beautiful and I love the texture of your work.
Good job!

Yes. Good that you reconsidered your opinion. Just kidding, thank you very much.

It's pretty good for a speedpainting and I like the variety in colors that you got going on. However, even though colors can be amazing, they should still make sense in a way. I see you lack a lot of reflected light. The castle is further away from the camera/viewer, and therefore should have less contrast. What I mean is that the dark values are way too dark, which you can probably spot yourself if you look at the mountain it's on top of. The mountain's shadows do not have the same values.
Oh and, about colors. The mountains all the way back are brown-ish, which shouldn't be a thing that happens in the atmosphere this thing is in. They should be more or less blue since they're all the way back. Things get blue when they get distant (if the sky is blue).

Hey Ehecod,
cool that you are still watching my work
Most of the time mountains in the distance dont just turn blue right away. It is so that they get toned down (i think
I believe that this mountain should still have some browns in there, but mayb not as much as i used.
Regarding the values, I totally agree with u about the values of the castle. The shadows are too dark. I think I will redo this piece later on, but for now the piece runs for DA-Speedpaint daily speedpainting contest.
