Looks good, nice job. Like you said, backgrounds are not meant to be viewed from inches away. From the distance it will be seen it looks very good. Like the texture, tree trunk affects and colors used. We learn as we go, that's one of the most satisfying aspects of the hobby. Happy New Year to you and Debbie.
The more you paint, the better you'll learn. The artist acrylic paints like Liquitex or Master Touch work better for dry and wet blending techniques for painting scenery. I used Liquitex Hooker's Green and Master touch Medium Yellow to paint my backdrop. The dull Hooker green will add depth. Bright green will pull everything forward. Both the green and yellow will need to be used blended together to get the shade of green you're after. Putting the green on full strength will turn black. I apply my background trees, full strength hooker green, and come back and lightly add dabs of yellow with a soft brush to give the trees dimensions. I paint the terrain with Green and yellow both dry and wet blended. Start with the darkest color and add lighter colors over the top to build depth and 3D dimensions. I painted my entire scenery freehand Bob Ross style only with a 1" brush and acrylic artist paints. I used a watered down Titanium white lightly brushed over the tree row to create haze that helps to add depth.
If Debbie is happy, all is well. May I make a suggestion? Just as an experiment take a couple of the moss pieces paint them using the same colors you used for the background. And then just place them in the foreground. Don’t glue them just place them. Maybe tying in the background and foreground will help. If you like them, glue them in. If not, no harm done. My 2 cents worth.

Thank you so much for the information. I'll have to try out those paints, I have some but never used them
Looking good Tom. Have No fear. Experimenting is the key and is the most rewarding part. Fear forward.
👍
thanks for watching

Good idea Norman
The tree trunks made a big difference....Tom Ross is your new name...lol
Yeah, I surprised myself when I was finished
@@TomsTrainsandThings may try putting some small rock faces against the wall...just a thought
@@reggiea.stroud8707 getting there a little at a time
🤠👍
Thank you
Nice work Tom…gonna give it a try sometime in 2025
Thanks Anthony. Go for it, you'll be surprised at what you can do
Bob Ross would've been happy. Looked 3d until you zoomed. You're at a point where it'll be more difficult to improve on it.
Thanks, I'll keep the camera away lol
