Nice work, I like the sunset color! Great work on the water, it has that glassy look to it! :) Well, I'm gonna try the critique thing...I only have one problem with it. The tree at the top is slightly larger than the rest, it draws my attention to it over everything else. You want to try and keep the viewers attention to a certain centerpoint(in this case, the bridge). So, the further away the object is it should be smaller than what you want the viewer to focus on.

That is the what I was told, I don't follow it very well in my paintings! :laughing:
thank you very much
I'll bear that in mind. Though I didn't intend that tree to be as big as it was, it sort of went wrong :D
When looking at everybody else's water's and rivers, I noticed they all have a gradient of colour, so I tried it. but I should have made it redder to reflect the sunset really.

My trees go wrong alot, I understand. :laughing: Yeah I guess you're right about the water, but I like the contrast! :)
yeah I think the difference in colour is probably the best thing about it :)

Awesome! I suck at soft pastel (all over the place... what a mess!), so this is especially good in my eyes. The water and sky look beautiful. I think that the red should be reflected more, though, both in the water and on the trees. Also, the contrast with the details what with the tiny red spots and then the smudged blank grass is a bit sharp. Maybe smudging the red dots or adding more detail to the grass could fix that. I agree with =ahoberer78 on the tree issue (but I probably wouldn't have noticed that if it wasn't brought up *headdesk*).

aww pretty! The colors you used are amazing! I love pastels.
btw do you use oil pastels or....
I dont think they're oil, i just says soft pastels, they're just like coloured chalks.

thanks :)
