I painted this painting with Aimee and Creative Juices Arts and, while I am pretty happy with it and the video was really easy to follow, I feel like there is still something not quite working for me. Would love an objective opinion and feedback! Thanks!

Hi handygirl! You've done a beautiful job on your painting! The two areas I would recommend looking at are:
1. The vines could have a bit more light filtering on them by adding some yellow. They could also possibly have a bit more width to them as they move toward the bottom of the canvas in order to get more of a long landscape perspective--have them "V" a bit more. You have quite a few rows so this may be challenging to change unless you combine two rows into one and adjust the soil around them as they go further out in the perspective. Try lightening them up a bit, particularly as they are closer to us heading to the bottom of the canvas and see if that helps on it's own.
2. The hills are fully cast in shadow (love the feeling and colors you've put into the shadows here!), so choose which side the light is coming from and add a bit more of the golden color (raw sienna, white and a touch of yellow)in diagonal sweeps of the brush using a fairly dry brush (not too much paint). This will brighten things and add more dimension on the hills. Be sure that the shadow and highlights you use on your hills correspond with the same on the mountains too.
Adding highlights on both your vines and your hills will balance out your values in this landscape nicely! Keep painting! You're doing wonderfully...and, most importantly, I hope you are having fun!!
Happy Painting!

Light source is left to right, so just add details to the vines using lighter green/yellow on the left sides (no lines down the middle - looks lazy). Also, darken valleys and lighten the hills. This looks like AZ (where I am currently until spring), so increase perceptual depth by lightening the furthest hills and gradually darken as they get closer (and no detail - they are too distant to make out rocks, cactus, etc.)
IMHO this is a great start, just tweak it a little. A little color blending will help it a lot. Have fun with it!
