hi madscientist :)
i looked through your drawings and i think they would look much better if the colors influenced each other more. What i mean is that in this pic, the blue sky should make the ground and the greenery a bit more blue. An easy way to do that (but not necessarily the correct way), is to choose the sky color and paint with low opacity over the ground color, now take that new ground color and with your normal opacity use it to paint the ground. and as you paint things farther away in the distance, you should use more sky color to influence them..
Also in your fruit picture the colors should influence each other a bit. For example some red light should bounce from the red fruits to the table cloth and to the yellow fruit.. and so should some yellow light, bounce from the yellow fruit to objects nearest to it...
Hi, Mursku! Thank you for the tips. I will try to keep them in mind when I do future pics! They're a lot of awesome artists on this site! A lot of them paint like the old masters!:)) I am going to check out some of your work! Thanks!
