Making grass overlapping the fence will help, also making more depth by turning opacity down with the black lines then adding shading gradually. - I'm also thinking a white fence takes away from the background a bit, maybe a more dully color would fit better.

The pattern of the fence is well made, though!

I didn't like the white fence so i changed it to a barb wire fence and moved it back some.

Much better RD, The white fence was more suited for the city.

I do like the mountains but I think they should look farther away and a lot lighter That is what gives the distance.
I have a problem with the shadows on the fence, or they should they be lighter, I dunno, maybe try lowering the opacity or use Graechan's new perspective script.
Maybe the hi-lites on the light side of the posts could be brightened up a bit.

Excellent work RD. I don't know if you intended this but you've got a lovely hilly landscape rather than mountains. I like it that way but you might want mountains, in which case Molly is right. I'm still really impressed with your grass, you've done a great job and the fence is a whole lot better!

will this work...

Looking good Rd, I will agree with Molly, during all the reading I have done on perspective the further things are away from the viewer the lighter they become. I see you have already looked into this issue but just felt like mentioning it as well.

Molly i tried to fix it. but i guess i will just call this picture a work in progress. i know many things are wrong with it but then again i wasn't working from a photograph. but i think i made it better.

yea i agree...but at times this is harder to get right than it may seem. sometimes making the things in the distance look that way is not so easy. i do thank everyone who has given there opinion in on this. that's the only way any of us learn. i knew that those areas needed to be fixed, i just hadn't got around to it. for some reason with this picture i was taking one thing at a time. i am kinda happy with it. though i know it's not perfect. i am still learning how to paint with digital. i have in most ways taught my self how to do it. i have never took any classes on it. so i maybe behind in that sense. but i think for not taking any classes on digital i do pretty good. this is my hobby. and i am learning with each any every painting. everyone here has helped in that process as well.

The quality of your work is wonderful Rd and I think most of us here are hobbyists though could be worthy of a thread to find out.

I think i am gonna call this one finished...and move on to my next project. But here is the final image for this one. a decent picture when all i was doing was just doing a practice piece...Thanks for taking interest in my hobby and for all the advice and kind comments. you guys are all my friends. love you all. and happy painting.

thank you. i am trying to get better. i think since i have join this forum i have been able to do that. the people here are very good people and have helped in my progress. thanks for taking the time to view my post. you also do good work. i do enjoy seeing other peoples work.

Lovely job RD! I agree with he4rty, the quality of your work is wonderful and you are improving all the time. This is an excellent piece that I would be happy to have on my wall.

thank you. i hope the next one gets even better.

Nice, looks very good! You're really improving too
