Description Studying this photo: germanstock.deviantart.com/art… This one took about an hour and 20 mins.
For the April study challenge 'trees' on this group: speedpaintstudies.deviantart.c…
Playing with colours, and trying to find a simplification of the tree that I was happy with were my main focuses for this one Overall I enjoyed it - this kind of landscape/environment is something I very much want to practice because they're my favourites to paint.
I always appreciate feedback and critiques - please let me know your thoughts!

Hey Amanda, really sorry for late comment, I had an unwanted break from art and internet too

Strongly your style as always (and this is good as long as you feel good in this style). Thick lines. Great colours and values.
The tree itself looks different. Loaded with leaves, may be even different species. You might have tried to spend more time on making more and smaller leaves instead of catching white and blue parts of the sky which is just the effect made by camera. In the same time it would be just ruining your style here so I don't know if it's a good idea

Welcome back! I had started to wonder if we would ever see you around again - always nice to receive a comment from you
Thanks for the feedback, I agree that the tree looks very different in my version than the photo - I didn't look closely enough at the shapes and structure.

Wow that's really great! Love how you did the variation from dark and light. Trees are really hard for me to do so this is really amazing work!
