Can't figure out what this piece is missing. Any suggestions to improve? Added in the reference photo.

Hello everybody, my name is Robbie Allen. I’m an artist from England, and also a very close friend of Samuel Earp. I wanted to make this post firstly to say thank you to Sam for everything he’s created here with Painter’s Hub over the years. Back in 2013/2014, Sam and I shared a studio together in Queenstown, New Zealand. He was actually the first person who ever took me oil painting outdoors and introduced me to plein air painting. I’ll always have a huge amount of gratitude and respect for him, not only as a painter and teacher, but also as a friend. So before anything else, if you’re considering joining Sam’s paid art school, I genuinely recommend it. Sam is an incredible landscape painter, a brilliant teacher, and somebody who truly cares about helping artists improve. If you’ve enjoyed this community, I think you’ll get a lot from continuing the journey with him there. At the same time, I know not everybody is in a position to join a paid community right now, and with Painter’s Hub closing, some of you may be looking for another creative space to continue sharing work, staying consistent, and connecting with other artists. Because of that, Sam kindly allowed me to share my own community here. My community is called The Artist’s Path, and it’s a free Skool community focused on drawing, painting, artistic growth, consistency, sketching practice, and creative momentum. One of the main things we do is a weekly live Sketching Hour, where artists from around the world come together to draw and sketch live together. Each week, I prepare a theme and reference material for people to work from, and it’s become a really enjoyable space for artists to build rhythm, practice consistently, and interact with each other creatively. The community is open to traditional and digital artists alike, whether you’re interested in landscapes, figure drawing, sketchbooks, painting, or simply wanting more consistency and encouragement around your art practice. If any of you are looking for another supportive creative space on Skool after Painter’s Hub closes, you’d be very welcome to join us.

Hey Artists Before I close this community, I wanted to remind everyone that there's a free 7-day trial at Sam's Landscape Painting School available until Monday, 25th May NZ time. This is where all my live painting classes are happening now, two hours every Sunday on Zoom, a complete course library, and an active community of landscape painters. If you've been on the fence, this is the moment to try it risk-free. Start your free trial here: https://go.samuelearp.com/landscape-painting-school See you inside, and thank you again for being part of this community. Happy Painting Sam

@Peggy Bishop it was a fun. Thanks. Not very happy with the result but at least I made it within video duration. Kind of sketch, good idea for watercolor plein air. BTW, it's made with extremely cheap but surpisingly usable for a price Crelando watercolor kit from Lidl on the cheapest Daler Rowney Aquafine watercolor paper.

It just occurred to me (to be totally honest, while looking at Shane's work- yikes, thanks Shane 🤣) that I can never be as skilled as some of you are. But that's not the point, is it? To me, the point is that each of us is driven by some inner desire to create and share what we see. We can all improve, and it's so fantastic that we do. But at a fundamental level, we're all artists, with artistic minds. And those are the types of folks that I connect with, whether I've met them face to face or not. OK, sorry for the interruption. Carry on.
