this is beautiful, it makes me feel peaceful. I like the unbroken blue sky and the shades of greens and browns in the foreground. Thanks for sharing
- Thank you! I'm glad the feeling of serenity read properly.
That looks good! The quality of the image really lets me see all those close details, really nice!
I'm not really familiar with painting, is this oil paint?
- Thank you so much! This is actually all done in acrylic! I used drybrushing, as well as abstract expressionist painting styles (smattering it with my brush, drawing palette knives across the canvas, ect) to get the texture to what it is in the final product. What you're probably noticing, is the 9~12 layers of paint that I used to construct all of the elements of the painting, giving it a type of depth that is usually associated with oil paint.
  
  I definitely got the oil paint vibe from it as well, impressive stuff. Did you have a specific region in mind when you were painting? Makes me think of Kenya or something.
  
  That's really cool! Thank you for the explanation
