    Hello Eyliana,
    Welcome to CRITIQUE THURSDAY.

    This painting is quite nice. You did a lovely job with the colors and shades in the grass area and water.

    I think the area that could use more work is the mountain itself. What could help here is working from a photo in which there is a very clear light source (such as the sun shining and creating cast shadows). I'm guessing it might have been an overcast day when the photo was taken. It is much more difficult as a painter to create convincing edges that describe the form of the mountain without a clear light source.

    If you still really want to use the photo you're working from, I suggest taking creative license to create a clearer light source and also working from additional reference photos of mountains so you can add clear shadows and highlights to help describe the form of the mountain and make it feel more solid.

    I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
