I spent so much time painting individual blades of grass and leaves. I normally don’t do that, I try to fake it. But the reference image was very much about all the foliage and the shack was just the anchor. Thoughts?

    I like the fact that the greenery is rendered in more detail! It draws the eye in towards the shack. I guess if I were to give any feedback it might be that there isn’t much sense of depth because all the green sort of flattens everything out. There is a foreground and a middle, with my eye stopping at the shack with nowhere to go. I can tell there’s depth because of the perspective but a darkening or cooling of hue would help imagine a deeper forest. I really enjoyed this and like many others I feel a sense of peace and coziness. Thanks for sharing!
