Just started painting digitally this summer and this are my first paintings (did also some sketches, but believe me, you don`t want to see them:)Many problems with both of them but oh well, time to move on. Used reference for the first one, second without reference (just a slight influence of Loki`s Lodge painting).
C&C are greatly appreciated i really need to improve my skills.
Any ideas how to paint rocks better??





Enjoy!

Just started eh? Well not bad! It's really good for start.
My crit is the colors seem a bit saturated on the first one. The shrubbery on the rocks are prolly darkened yellows if you look closely.

the second is definitely the better of the two. In the first one you need to stay away from using black for the shadows, think of colors in terms of warm in the light and cool in the shadows. Sometimes when using photographs for reference it blacks out the shadows which you need to avoid when actually painting the scene. Don't get too caught up in the little details like the rocks, get the basic shapes and tones right first. Look at some other painters and see how they handle colors for reference.

Hey chef, that's nice! In the first one I'd try to push it farther than the ref, for example on the rocks, if instead of putting a black outline underneath the rocks (which makes it kinda look like they're floating, almost), maybe try using some white to represent the waves crashing against them.
Also it would be a good idea to use one color (blue?) throughout the entire painting to make every part look like it belongs together, tie it in together.
Some atmospheric perspective would be nice too.
Great job on the second one.
