Hello! I have been drawing since childhood, self-taught, I would really like to get an assessment and get an opinion on my two works, preferably from a professional, or from a person who understands all the nuances of the profession. Thanks in advance. And some more works. These were drawn much earlier, the earlier it is  the more faded the colours are.))

This post dropped out of sight - as it had no replies, I'm pushing it back up again.  I don't think I have a useful comment to make on two works which are so different, but perhaps others will.

I haven’t got any particular comments of any value to make either. The first one is not a subject that appeals to me, and the somewhat fantasy landscape (unless I’m told otherwise), is a bit dull and flat, basically lacking in tonal value! Nothing more to add at this moment in time!

Suggest you put them on the gallery ,  lots more people log on there. The subject matter of both of them I don't find interesting and the colours dull.  But very competently painted.

Although I could be offering a competent, experienced and skilled artist's opinion on these works, I'm not classed as a professional. Hopefully others can offer thoughts, as I find this forum full of very informative and helpful people.

Not everything gets commented on Sergey. It doesn't mean there's no interest, just that we all have different tastes. Do keep posting your work.

Quite right, Jim.  I couldn't presume to comment on just two images - and so didn't!  Post more, Sergey!  It's much easier to comment on a wider selection - you've offered just two very different images, and that's always going to be difficult for us.  I like the Russian influence in your further postings, but if this is the route you're pursuing,  I think you need either to veer towards Impressionism, or concentrate on the detail: you seem to be combining the two with these paintings  - maybe concentrate on the impression you really want to make.

The first picture…. Subject matter is good, but in retrospect, a nappy? Not very angelic. Also they grey backdrop doesn’t represent all that is good. I mean, it’s a good painting. The other picture are pretty good, and landscapes are something that I can’t do.
