I did this kind of a week ago.
Used acrylics on canvas (19x25 inches).
I'd love to have some critics on it and learn how to improve my paitings.

I have a better resolution on my deviant art:

too wispy with the brushstrokes. be confident. they shouldn't look like shit streaks on your underpants they should be like "THIS IS THE LINE I MEANT TO PUT DOWN GOD DAMNIT"

also brushstrokes should follow the shapes of objects in the foreground. especially the sky in the painting you posted. look to van gogh for examples of brushstrokes outlining the main objects of a painting.

this is difficult advice to follow but the more you do it the easier it will be. Do this rather than just layering objects on top of other objects.

Thank you very much for the advices.
I'll try them out.
