this is what someone commented.

 I like the balance of individual elements in the landscape but I think the colours are perhaps a little too vivid for this picture. (Problem is of course that very often real life does not look realistic!!)

I really like your painting, Maryna.  It looks like a cozy, restful spot.

You did a nice job with the light on the fence and the rock.  It's often the finishing touches that really add that sparkle to a painting.

Well done!   :congrats:

I like it too Maryna, I think you have done a great job with the painting.

What I can suggest though is that your cast shadows are too light (house, rocks and fence), so just darken them some more with a colour wash or glaze. That will bring out the light in the scene O0

I, too am confused about the comment  "I like the balance of individual elements in the landscape but I think the colours are perhaps a little too vivid for this picture. (Problem is of course that very often real life does not look realistic!!)"   :confused:

The thing that I saw that may need adjusting was the path that seems too close to the house.  It's a minor detail and hope you don't mind me saying so.  I agree with Nolan on the shadows.  Lovely painting Maryna.  Looks like an ideal place to live.

Sorry, I don't see any problem with the colours being too vivid. I think they're great.   O0
Lovely scene   :clap:

Just an afterthought. When I first got my new paints and painted a turtle, the colour's vividness surprised me. I quite liked it actually. It was said to me that it wasn't a TRUE watercolour. Watercolour should not be that bright and intense. Personally I take exception to that remark. If its painted with watercolour, it IS watercolour.
 :sweat: whew...sure glad I got that out of my system!   ;D
