Art studies: Nature

To get a better idea of the kind of textures you get in natural environments  I have done a relatively quick art study using digital painting. I tried to recreate traditional painting techniques as much as possible with Photoshop and Wacom tablet, so I didn’t use any photographs for texturing or use the colour picker on the photographs I took reference from. I used photographs heavily for reference which I understand isn’t the best thing to do however the Idea behind the study get a feel of how to paint different textures and lighting so I can replicate it on other pictures.
