Hi all... this is me trying to overcome my phobia of painting landscapes - I normally go with people and get complete tunnel vision about all those frivolous things like composition and backdrop, so the end result is my paintings only ever look good as a closeup of a face.
I thought I'd try to overcome that by properly setting a character in a landscape. It's clearly not finished, but I'd like to get it up to a really good standard so I can give it as a gift. Any advice you can give would be most welcome, and paintovers/circling the areas you are talking about can be particularly helpful.
