was bored and tried a new painting..

Nice Rdgracer.
Two little hints:
1-try not to use the same brush for painting trees and bushes
2-give a little bit of "chiaroscuro" : define where you want to suppose the light origin be then put brushes with different luminosity (or use the lightening/darkening tool) .

Nice

astonishing

The leaves on the trees could use more depth, they look kinda like blurry blobs as they are now. Still, it looks nice. Good work.

I like the 'impressionistic' look of this, but I do agree that a light source would enhance it as well as a somewhat different brush for the bushes as their leaves would be different than the tree leaves.

Nice! I love the texture in the foreground mountains.

Love the reflection. The blue-ish tinge gives it the feel of water. Here are some things you could try (totally up to you, there is no wrong or right in art)

For the reflection:
Play around with is the ripple filter (under Filters --> Distorts --> Ripple...) to displace the perfect reflection (unless that's what you're going for).
Also, you can give it a bit of perspective using the perspective tool and then stretching the bottom corners outwards.

For the trees:
You got the position pretty nice. I would just try adding a dark shadow behind the leaves to give them a bit more volume and then add as much different green colors as you can to break the flat single color.

Lastly for the mountains:
The edges are really sharp so they kind of steal the focus from the reflection. Here you could try a gaussian blur (under Filters --> Blur --> Gaussian Blur)

Keep at it, you've got some real potential

thanks for all the views and comments. i'll take it all in and try and do better on my next one. i only took like 40 to 45 min to do this. and i kinda just started putting down color. wasn't even sure where i was going with it tbh
