Hey, thanks!I'm using some custom brushes and lasso yes, but no photos in this one.I think one major thing in landscapes is to have a clear idea of the depth structure, what's in the foreground, middleground and background. More contrast the closer you are and less as you move further away. Keep the different distances fairly well separated at first and then start including elements in between.Also just studying photos and real life helps a lot, especially with checking the contrast and how much local atmosphere affects the colors and shadows
