Black white and yellow. very nice.

I like the tonalist look of this very much!

Your darkest darks should be contained to one area or 1/3 of your painting .. front, middle, or back .. that gives you more spatial distance on limited value range.

I like this, very different.

 

[Sylwia J-D]

Nice study.

 

[Triduana]

I really like the palette. I think it's lovely.

 

[Reddyman]

Nice work NTL...wonderful contrast based on the very limited palette with good use of lights against darks for effect.

I just LOVE this, ntl!! I agree with Donna that this has a distinct Tonalist style, which I am *quite* fond of.

Tonalism is known for its atmospheric/misty flavor, so I wouldn't sweat those values a bit. Plus, I'm guessing those darker values you have on the bank and in the foreground are being blown out by the glare here from the photo. If it gets too contrasty, the effect just wouldn't be the same. Yellows, grays, a touch of black and white all make this total eye candy to me.

LOVE all that golden beauty! You nailed it.

John, thanks, I appreciate your comment.

Good job! I would love to see it without the glare. Well done.

 

[joe1It]

beautiful, and beautiful atmospheres and colors, I like it

 

[Perry]

Well done.

I like the monochromatic-ness of this. I'd love to see more detail in the grass in the foreground. You wouldn't need to add much, but just something for differentiation. Otherwise, it's still very beautiful!

 

[KreativeK]

I’m no landscape artist and admire anyone who does them. Beautiful work.

 

[ColorEnthusiast]

Very atmospheric with this limited palette. Well done.

Sno, thanks. I'll see about posting another photo later, hopefully glare-free.
Joe1lt, Perry, thanks!
Arty, Kay, Esther, thank you. Your comments are very encouraging.

Lovely reflective/peaceful mood, and atmospherics with the limited pallet.
