A bit rough and undetailed but otherwise A-OK.

It´s nicely working, consequent and well adjusted. *cool*

hey... ive never messed with oils b4.. but looks dcent.. a few possibilities on improvemens.. (i doubt u can fix these oils.. just pointing)... the path seem a lil odd.. the whole tiling and perfect edges.. more random and full stone shapes leading in would be cool..

the guy missing a leg? or is it crumpled up somewhere?

lastly the sky seems ... eh.. i think its the slope of the mountain.. makes me tummy a lil uneasy.. keep at it.. good work .. _ry

Hey, man!

I go to an art college, and there's four-year seniors who can't paint that well, which is......encouraging for you, tragic for us. :)
Anyways, keep up the work. Also checked out your website. Very very impressive. Almost TOO much over the top, but that's not meant as an insult!
Since you live in Spain, I must assume the painting was done from real life. Siiiiigggghhh, America never has cool houses on every corner like that!

Thank you very much for the feedback guys.

It´s done on a little board and i´m very lazy, so when i´ve to pick the little brush for detailing is very hard... i´ve a long way to go.

bbwolf_ color was my bigger preocupation here so... Thanks!!!

chudzta_ Yes i know there are a lot of problems, but i got sick of it and i decided to left as it was before burn it... but thanks very much for taking your time to look at it. I´ll try to put more effort on the nexts ones... Thanks

Concept_ Thanks man! :) But telling you the truth that site is not mine, is where i work and i´ve just contributed on some things on those cartoons... you know free advertisment :P
And no, that not done from life, it´s a copy, i´ve just started messing with oils and i´m not confident enough to go out with them. But i´ve to try life painting soon. That won´t be difficult since that´s a village near my town... :)

For a seconf oil, that is quite good. You're handling the color well... most second oils are pretty muddy looking. :chug:
