        Allan: the painted elements are nice. However, to my eye, the people and foliage now look very cut-out. I'd suggest painting these elements as well (you can use the entourage as a guide, sample the colours from them, and paint over the top). I'd also reduce the opacity of your brushes a touch. This would enable you to build up the colour in layers, so adding a bit more depth to the work. A final point - all your brush strokes look a similar size. If you were painting for 'real' you'd start by laying up broad washes and areas of colour, befroe gradually working in the detail with increasingly small brushes.
        Nice start though.

        hope this helps.

        A.

          great start but I totally agree with Andy G. Keep working and keep posting, look forward to you progress... what software are you using for the "painting"?

            Thanks Andy and Bob for the comments and suggestions.....

            I used Piranesi for the style I will practice more to refine the technique....

            best,
