Lovely and warm Annie, and deft loose brushstrokes and paint application. I like how you've moved it on from sunrise to later in the day by warming up the background...

This is lovely Annie!

Thanks girls. I watched Richard's video a few times - that helped! With this one I found the definite difference between foreground and background saturation/tone made it easier - and I think its the first painting I've done where I have (more or less) put the colour on and left it (except the background where I made the colour too cold the first time.) Dors keep going - you'll be fine -  there are always a few Gobi deserts to pass through on the journey! And smiles back to you...!

Great job ! I like the warm foreground rock tower. It looks like you could reach out and feel the warmth of the rocks.

Love your confident brushwork in this Annie. I can feel the warmth of the afternoon sunlight radiating from the rocks.
