I like it. When looking at the texture, I was wondering if more sketchy lines/ink need to be added. I am just think of the HW style and how the lines in the textures help it match the lines of the mountains.
Thank you, Royal Scribe, Don Anderson, JulianDracos and Quenten :)
Julian - I understand what you are saying, but I'm not sure I would be able to emulate such a different and very unique style that well - or even if I should if I could. The oil painting look might be as close as I can get to it, and certainly more natural for me to continue long term. Don't be too disappointed, though. This is just the grassland - always the flattest and most uninteresting fill of an overland style.
Yea straying far from your own art style is pretty hard. Unless that is your forte. Some people just know how to interpret other's work, but they are so rare.
My style is more draftsman in approach. Line work and angles. Unless I go full abstract. Then people like my X, she could copy Starry Night by Van Gogh, but couldn't do any original stuff. I am sure lots of people could copy stuff from Mike Schley, but doing a whole bunch of pieces that were orgininal that mimic'ed his style would be an achievement.
Sue is pretty amazing at what she does. I know I couldn't emulate her style at all. I am glad she sticks to it, and blesses us with her work.
I think it was the only painting medium that lasted for more than half a lifetime until quite recently.
Watercolour became very fashionable, once the paper mills worked out how to make acid free, archival quality cotton paper, and watercolour pigments that were relatively colourfast.

From the small sample looks great.

I agree with Royal Scribe

The great masters painted in oil.
