French Alps

10x10 oil on primed canvas paper..this is my second attempt at this --the first was a bit darker --especially the greens in the nearest mountain..I didn't think I had enough contrast.

Comment by Lori Ippolito on August 25, 2015 at 17:11: Thanks a lot for the tips Justin..I always have trouble getting my photos right. I didn't have a chance to reshoot this but will work at it for the next. Will also have a better look at varying my strokes:) I appreciate your thoughtful input!

Comment by Justin Owens on August 25, 2015 at 14:49: Very nice! The contrast definitely feels better in this one.

Seems to be catching a lot of glare though, you might want to angle your painting down a bit next time when you photograph it. I swear, that's the hardest part for me...I feel like I can never get a half-way decent photo of my paintings. :)

One piece of feedback is that the strokes on your grasses feels similar throughout. Something to look out for next time, you could vary that up a bit if you wanted.

Really nice job on this one though!
