Concentration #2

My concentration is to paint animals in thier habitat, by using the animals to form the landscape. I might use different parts of the animal or the whole body to put in the painting too. I have found myself painting a lot of hills or mountains. Thats what I usually start with. Then I usually paint the sky, and then the foreground. I also start with really light paint, then get darker as I go. I try and make sure they are balanced. like in the monkey mountain one, I tried to have them balance. It's hard to have movement in landscape, but I tried to keep the eye moving by having diagonal lines as much as possible. One of my goals is to move away from just hills and have more variety in the landscapes. Like the polar bear one, where it's an iceberg instead.
