Thanks Win and Mea, gaining the atmosphere in this lesson was a lot of fun. My son says it doesnt look finished and i should strengthen the background misty trees? What do you think?

Thanks Dennis! Im sure you have a lot to do with my style coming through 

Val you are right  , I felt it was to risky to ruin a good painting (which i think is realism?) with one of my dodgy excuses for a figure  . I nearly did it but thought it was strong enough without one.

Thanks Cyril I also really emjoyed this one. I found it very flowing and most things worked nicely. Your version is superb by the way!

Have a lovely day...

No, the misty background was an essential part of this lesson, and you have captured it beautifully. 

Val you are right  , I felt it was to risky to ruin a good painting (which i think is realism?) with one of my dodgy excuses for a figure  . I nearly did it but thought it was strong enough without one.

That's also why my bird in the tree is so small...but I just told everyone it was a really big tree!

Tre,  I'm really dying to do this lesson ... wanted to try it before now, UT now I've seen yours.....

[linley.plester]

Sorry Trev, I typo-ed your name!

[Val]

You really should give it a go Linley, it's great fun and you'll learn lots of new little tricks and tips.

  I'm thinking I should give this another go, would definitely help me out with the softening, blending and glazes required in the succulent challenge..... I shall have to have a looksee!

[linley.plester]

Right Val... we can both get on with it and make Trev jealous!
