I too, love your work, Samuel! Keep it up! Kind suggestion: Andrew posted a video five days ago of almost the same reference so you can compare his work against your outcome. The one thing that jumped out to me was that during the entire painting you were having to deal with the white canvas. And, the white shows through (to me at least) as being a negative. Andrew's painting allows the mountains to take on a 3D look because the Burnt Umber glows from below. You struggled with this aspect and it's not your fault. It's the layers of paint (or lack of) that you could not overcome. If Burnt Umber or Burnt Sienna are to dark for you then go with Yellow Ocher. Anything, but that darn white canvas... Ignore the fact that Andrew did his work in the studio, and detailed the heck out of his painting.

Thank you Robert. Yes, Andrew painted this mountain in his studio a while ago (I gave him the drone footage at the beginning of his video). I painted this en plein air a couple of months ago when I visited the South Island. My painting was a plein air painting, Andrew’s was a detailed studio painting. I wasn’t struggling with my painting at all, the loose brushwork was intentional and I wanted to capture the colours and tones that I was seeing. With regard to painting on a white background, I prefer this. The white of the canvas allows me to better gauge my tonal values and my colours look cleaner. When I used to paint on a toned surface my darks were always coming out too dark and I would often have to adjust the values. There is nothing wrong with painting on a toned canvas and if it works for you go for it. Personally at the moment I prefer to paint on a white background.
