A good feel to this. Very illustrative.....if there is such a word. If I might just add a small constructive thought ..or two cos I'm like that. Mix your blues and greens a bit more to get them a little less flat and look at your shadows, lights and darks. E.g. The dark wall on the left is just a tad too prominent. Use the squinty eye technique to sort the shadows. 😉

Thank you for the good advice Sylvia...could you advise me on how to mix the greens and blues and.......what is the squinty eye technique? I value any advice as I am new to this game. I see what you mean about the wall, perhaps I have tried to follow the photo too much. Having said that I did change the wall on the right which was also very dark.

Squinty eye technique....contort your eyes and nose( well a form of gurning ) then squint through your eyelashes. That way you see only the lights and dark s. Mix your blues and greens don't use them straight out of your paint box much more exciting colours ,various yellows and blues ...chuck a bit of violet in as well. Have a practise mixing colour swatches, oh it's an exciting world. And being a complete know it all and pain in the bum...throw out your black/ Paynes grey....ugh colours . Just mix your own... Now completely ignore me or go enjoy. 🙃

Ha ha Sylvia. I will go and enjoy.....and have to say the squinty eye technique...love the technical terminology...really does work. Thank you. More advice is always welcomed😀
