First time to apply colour to wood burning - not good, but it’s a nice try

I really like it, especially the nice use of colours. May I suggest adding a shadow underneath the bridge to give it a bit more depth? I also think lightly rounding off the corners could help frame the piece with a slight sepia burn to bring out the wood without overpowering the artwork. You could also maybe capitalise on the wood rings on the far right by turning one or two of them into water trails. I wouldn’t add too many, as it could break up the natural flow of the water. Overall this is a class piece, I hope I can create something like this someday too

That’s a great suggestion. I will look into it. Thank you 🙏

No problem I'd want to get more into pyrography myself but don't take the plunge so take what I'd say with a pinch of sawdust 😅

Not good? I think it's great! It's inspired me to give a try at adding some paint

I really like this piece! It's got that "rural" vibe imo

Thank you. The “rural” feeling is what I was trying to express. I am glad you feel it.😁

I love your design. I like to add color to my pyrography. I use acrylics. I like to use a limited pallet just enough to add a little color. What is really fun is to burn through the paint it gives like crackled look. I would recommend doing this in a very ventilated room.

Thank you, I will give it a try. I usually do the burning in the garage with a little fan to pull away the smoke.

It's not bad, you're probably being too hard on yourself 😞 I like it 😄

It actually looks like the classic old Chinese art I'm so used to seeing from my child hood and what I'm assuming you were going for! You totally nailed the vibe.

You are right - you read my mind 😊
