Really nice job on the waterfall!

[JohnnyRingo]

You expressed yourself well on this one.

Almost looks like a photo. I think you've mastered gouache!

[PatSeg]

10. That is wonderful!

11. That's very nice!

12. You painted that?

That’s very impressive OcelotII! To a layman anyway. Well that slipped out. It wasn’t meant obnoxiously. Quite the reverse. Added the qualifier without thinking to preempt a theoretical, snooty professional who might find my enthusiasm gauche 🧐 .
That’s really cool.

26. I am an artist, and they've done a quite wonderful piece....

especially the rocks, and water. 👍

While I've not painted in a long time; I've drawn a lot of rocks, and water.


And I'm only very occasionly snooty. 😉

13. I approve

[calimary]

14. WOW!!! And this is a painting?!?

Just gorgeous!

[AllaN01Bear]

15. wow.

[1WorldHope]

16. Beautiful! Painting must be so fulfilling and satisfying. You're very good.

[dflprincess]

17. That's beautiful

I can almost hear the water!

[PatrickforB]

18. This is outstanding! Waterfalls are challenging and you got it just right, but what I like best is

your treatment of the natural rock steps and the forest above. Very good!

[sinkingfeeling]

19. I like that. Looks like a photograph.

[tavernier]

20. Fooled me!

The rocks and foliage (ivy?) stirred up a nice memory. Thought for a moment this was in the Michigan U.P. where I spent many vacations as a kid.

[BaronChocula]

21. Reminiscent of that iconic view

of Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater house. But that's in PA.

[masmdu]

22. Nice! I thought it was this place at first

Hooker falls NC
?

[Beringia]

23. Holy Shit!

[Deuxcents]

24. It *does* look like a photograph..it's so life-like.

[electric_blue68]

25. Oh, this is quite wonderful!...

The rocks, and watefall, water pool are particularly well done!

I'm thinking of re-trying gouache bc the smell of acrylics is beginning to annoy me.

I'm sure you're going to get better and better if you keep practicing!

[Diamond_Dog]

27. You did a beautiful job!

It looks very real. At first view I thought it was a photograph.

I recently painted a waterfall with rocks like that but yours is much better than mine. You got the moss on the rocks to look like real moss ….. 🙂. Fabulous job!

[Jilly_in_VA]

28. Wow!

I can't do 2-D art at all. It just isn't my friend. I'm a jewelry designer who just cannot paint, but I admire painters!
