PATREON Reviews
This is such an amazing demonstration on consistency between light and dark movements on the mountains ⛰️ the constant change of colors brings the mountain to life like realistic features. Also, in the cloud formation the arrangement of color from dark to light and then white tips I find fascinating. I've been watching clouds lately and taking photos with my phone but haven't been able to really capture the brilliance that I see when I look up into the sky. So this is very helpful. Thank you. I'll share once I start the underpainting for this one, it's next in my queue!
