First of all, he scene looks authentic, as though waiting for people to return to the tables. Feels very pleasant. Regarding the sunlight, you need stronger contrast between the light and shadow parts. I find it most effective when there is a swath of sunlight against the shadow in the picture. It is easier and cleared rather than painting the whole scene under uniform sunlight. You have the shadow in the yellow umbrella and the pink house's roof and door. The wall to the right is lighter pink than the left side. I am missing consistent shadows everywhere else. Tables, rocks, trees...Everything is evenly colored and the sunlight is hard to read. Composition wise, the pole in the center is too dominant and it is clearly not the subject of the scene. What is the main object? The candidates right now are the pink tree, the yellow umbrella and the dark blue umbrella to the right. The rocks are also evenly spaced and look a bit artificially placed. I would suggest the following: 1. Choose light direction and draw the shadows on all affected objects. 2. Make the mountains paler and less detailed so they support the scene only as a background. 3. Bring the big green tree to life with light, shadow and three values, darker for underside/shadow side, brightest where sunlit and a middle tone inbetween. Dont make it too dominant so it doesnt steal the show. 4. Remove the pole. Or at lease move it more to the side and make it smaller. 5. Remove the middle rock. That would create an opening to visually enter the scene and meet the pink tree. The rocks would be grouped in an uneven 3-2 groups. Make the large rock on the left most detailed and contrasted compared to other rocks. This way you have an opening which leads the eye towards the pink tree and invites you to sit under the yellow umbrella, or maybe the blue one next. | Artwod Feedback
