Outdoors speedpainting

Grabbed my laptop, sat under a tree and speedpainted what I saw. This was my first excercise of this kind and I improved a lot since then.
I'm still not happy with my landscapes and similar things, but this first attempt sucks big time compared to the latest crap :D
Let's break it down:

  • Although I couldn't use any form of color picking, the colors came out quite faithful
  • The building looks more solid than I expected, for someting I painted with a soft brush with a lot of Transfer

  • Soft brushes: they are BAD for this kind of things. In my experience, that is
  • Those tiles are horrible - that soft brush didn't help
  •  I'm seriously bad at stylizing foliage



Experience gained: 4 points!
- I'll avoid soft brushes for environments and speedpainting in general; solid ones help block out volumes fast and find new graphic solutions
- I need to create some good brushes with which to paint foliage effectively...
- ... AND practice on drawing and painting foliage without them!
- My environments need more contrast - something to keep in mind during next painting sessions
