And on my version…I clearly got focused on the barn. Still! It’s so much fun to do these! (And one of these days I’m gonna learn how to do the mountains right. It WILL happen! XD) All in all, this was a worthy 40 minutes–definitely do these if you’re an artist, you’ll get some learning in and it’s always worth the time whether you show it off or not. Decide how long you’re gonna paint and time yourself, put some noise in the background so you won’t be too distracted (I chose rain this time), and get to work!
