    Please upload the photo or link to it if you would so I could comment. Not sure what it looked like, and adding straight black like you have on the right is probably not the answer. If I recall those photos that I have seen from the Grand Canyon, they generally have dark colors but they're saturated with lovely warms. It's a level of precision in the color mixing that I strongly recommend to be your next step. (When I say color mixing, you could pick your colors straight from your source photo as a general starting point.)

    I myself certainly am all about color and lighting and how color behaves in various lighting situations. And then too, after one gets a handle on that, one can go crazy with it. But I think that in the case of this particular place, the subtlety of the natural color is where the beauty lies. And I get that is what you are aiming at.

    The other thing, if you get the color right, the detail is secondary. You can have a cracking good painting with only that working in this case.

    Details can be added later based on what the specific color is in that spot so they sit properly. So get the whole big picture working first. That's often the way I would do it when trying to make it look real.

    Also if you're not into too much detail, the Impressionists are a good choice to try to emulate as you are doing with your choice of Mary Cassatt. And you can go toward Monet for less detail and a more slap dash look which is also very cool in its own right.

    But I think the landscape is a good one to do (along with the others for other things) at this point in your development cause it will teach you a lot about color and values.

    Hi Pat Thanks , I'm only trying to keep up with you
    trouble is when I get in front of the screen just lately I fall asleep looks like
    I better reserve a seat in the local park Yeah
    Hi Mac Will post,it is a photo I took of my screen, long story if you have time?
    ok pull up a chair get comfortable right , my screen picture was Stone henge
    may look drab but after awhile grew to like the stone's as they showed me all their different face's birds fish and us mob, thought of sketching each one showing the face's would take some time as there's a lot of them and they
    were happy with the Idea as they said they were not in hurry to go anywhere
    ok u still therewell when sketching Mary I must have clicked a wrong
    button as Stone henge went on walk a bouts tried to follow but all they showed me was highly coloured one all i want is my old drab fav ones
    I ended up with a set of 5 very nice highly coloured ones the sketch is one of them which I called Arizona thought it might be the native American's abode
    but then realized they followed the food market and it look's sort of barren ok
    couldn't remember how to get so took a photo of it so I could have a reference to see as
    my memory is not good to sketch that picture as the sheer impact of it blew me ok
    now you can understand why I left it as is with no dressage or sharpening up began to go cross eyed it like some monster was trying to get in ok will send ----E/S
