Simplify Your Digital Painting Process

Start your digital painting by choosing an easy reference and focus on color and process. Begin with compositional thumbnails to arrange shapes pleasingly, adjusting the ratio of ground to sky. Refine your sketch, establish perspective with tools, and block in flat shapes on separate layers. Use temperature contrasts for interest, and add form to elements like clouds and trees. Experiment with colors, refine details, and harmonize the final piece with post-processing effects.

Wonderful, and the voiceover explanations are a treasure of information. Looking at the courses...
The only thing I would change in the painting is the edges of the roof and of the pole. They're too perfect, it screams digital...

Looks very cool, i think the barn could have used more detail tho, everything has a distinct look but for some reason the barn looks cartoony and flat

[terracota]

[paulinak]

How does it correspond to the rule that warmer and more vivid colours should be in front and colder in the back?
