MY COMMENTS:
An evening scene. I wanted the tonal values to be quite close but feel I have gone over board on this with the result of too much of the same colours throughout.

MY QUESTIONS FOR THE GROUP:
I used transparent olive green, indian yellow red shade, alizarin crimson raw sienna and white.
I would like to have some variety of colours in the sky as I feel the colour is too much the same through out the whole of the painting. I was trying to harmonise the colours in the painting but fear I have gone too far.

I know you are looking for a critique other than oo's and aa's but before it gets moved to structured... I think this piece is beautiful! I do not think you have gone too far with the colours at all, it feels like twilight before the storm very calming...I like!!

Thank you Suvi, that is a nice comment! and yes I was hoping to introduce some more variety of colours into the painting. I guess I will have to leave it and accept it as it is. I am coming to the opinion that some paintings are successful and some paintings are almost there! I do accept though that the colours at twilight would be very close together.
