Been stalking the forum forever. Figured I should start posting some stuff.

An experiment to try and capture the Ross style following the instructions in one of his books. Bad composition, but fun to try.

I really like how you show the strokes on the tree , sharp knife , it works
 The scene colors are good and surprising for a snow scene.

Thank you, David. That's exactly what I was trying to achieve!
With some paint software, its difficult to mimic REAL painting techniques. This seems quite possible with MyPaint 
-I should also mention that I ran it through the sharpening filter in Gimp when I cropped it. It helps to make the brushstrokes pop more-

Very nice picture

I guess there's been an out-of-season snowfall, with the trees still having their leaves.

Those trees must be a new breed of deciduous evergreen... LOL Thank you, Mazui

another weird one. fiddling with the palette knife in an attempt to mimic brush strokes.

Thank you, angelia. I never know how they will turn out in the end. I was happy with this one
