Fluttershy Landscape Painting

[Stargazer Nights 226]

So I just finished a new painting! This time it's of Fluttershy on a cliff at sunset. I would like some critique on just about everything, although I know it's not that good. I don't quite know how to get good detailing on landscapes. >.> Anyway, without further adieu:

I really like it.  The colors of the mountain are very nice.  The style reminds me of a famous artist, I don't know who, but the colors and the use of the strokes is very similar.  Overall it's very awesome.

Why thank you! I may not know what artist you are referring to, but I know that I did get a lot of my painting ideas from Bob Ross. But yes, thank you again. I particularly like the color palette as well. Edited July 27, 2013 by BassClef

Ah, that sky always gets me! I buy bigger canvas to paint bigger skies now. Color and contrast is great. Fluttershy is really eye-catching. The only thing I can think of is the cliff-face. 

 

I find that in landscape pieces, the darkest shadow should always be below what's in the foreground. Rounding out the edge of the cliff and lightening it up to match more of the mountain color in the shadow of sunset. Then use the darker gray/greens for the foliage below. Even though that's the part that's light-sourced the least, it'll make the cliff stand out a bit more naturally. 

 

Beautiful work!

Thank you for all the ideas, and criticisms! I will definitely look into all of that in my next piece. Oh, and thank you for the compliments as well!
