Ik that the stone in the middle of the painting isnt good but what else could be better and how would I improve it? Any tips?

I created this painting based on a request. The idea was to depict a frog family (father, mother, and their little daughter) in a spa-like environment, bathing together in a bowl of ramen. I’ve included the initial sketch and an early stage of the painting process as well.

I sometimes like to paint directly onto unprimed canvas, because the natural canvas texture subtly shows through and enhances the final result.

I recently decided to try painting with acrylics and generally new to making art.

Sharing my paintings I've done so far. Followed a tutorial on all except red sky, I kind of freestyled on it, it was a ruined canvas initially.

I'm struggling the most with blending and color mixing and of course fast drying acrylics stress me out but I now have a slow dri medium.

Any suggestions on what I should work on to improve my skill? Any genuine feedback? I enjoy it so much but I find it stressful because I want to do well 😆.

posted the wip of this thing when it was pretty badly screwed up, managed to fix it

🌻💜 Sunflowers and Lavender In Provence 💜🌻

Our bikes race up and down the gentle hills of Provence. Everything has a distinct texture, the colors are vibrant, and the perfume in the air is intoxicating. Every twisting road reveals new rows of lavender stretching endlessly under the sun. I will never forget the fields of France.

Art is more than something pretty on a wall. It carries feelings, memories, and a little bit of hope.

Painted in heavy impasto with a palette knife only.
