Weekly Paint Progress: 2/23

That one is more cohesive. Mine looks like a collection of focal points all fighting for attention. Plus the grass should be more brown. Pretty far off the mark, but this was the hardest exercise in the book, I think.

I wish I knew how to get that pink and yellow pulled out of the white in the cloud.

Next week I research how to paint clouds.
