OP April Project - View from the Downs - Swanage Bay
First go at this! I found it a little heavy handed on the trees to the left and a liitle too bright / warm for the backgroud hills, including the hill to the right at the coastline.

Had a second go. Used a different colour palette. Worked on correcting the above.

Things I like about each, as well as areas to improve. This is a good learning tool, when combined with Edo's seggestion a few weeks ago regarding having another go at a subject by changing a few things, like colour palette, etc. Good advice Edo, thanks.

I enjoyed them both. I prefer the second painting, I like the white of the cliffs and the darker foreground. Well done both.
