Another semi-quick painting to the pile. Mostly playing with the sky and complementary colors while knocking the saturation down to the level I've used to paint with.
Composition is something I've recently been really paying attention, I'd appreciate some comments regarding the overall readability of the picture.

I love your artwork paintings, their professional and awesome!
Now this one is awesome
Well what do you know...
It captures really well the moment of two siblings returning home after a long day of work, and the sunset, together with the landscape, is beautiful.
In terms of composition, I love the empty space on the right of Applejack, showing more of the path they are going through, and the spot they'll be passing by in a few seconds. I also like the plants and the tree that are closer to the "camera". They fill up the empty space just enough so that it doesn't get boring.
which program you are doing?
I also have a question.
The paint-like effect really appeals to me, but I can't get to do it right. And since you did it so well, I would like to ask you to explain to me how you did color in your picture, with this effect. E.g. what brushes did you use, what settings, how did you color it in, and above all, how did you start(re-drawing with a tablet or just coloring in the raw sketch)?
Thanks in advance! You really got some talent here!
I use only three stock Photoshop brushes. Round brush for soft and blooming light, stock "Chalk" brush for 90% of the stuff and stock "Watercolor" brush for the softer things like the sky. I held the brush on 70-100% opacity and 100% flow all the time, pen pressure level is set to define the size and opacity of the brush stroke.
I just started with a basic scribbly sketch. Random lines here and there to indicate where is the ground, where are the characters, where is the treeline etc. For characters I go for a little bit more accurate one.
Then it's just nothing but picking colors and wiping them on the layers, nothing more. Try to construct the overall picture (values and colors) under the sketch very early on, so the whole image becomes a color palette for your eyedropper tool. I work pretty much like I was painting a traditional piece, aside from the utilizing of layers and transform/move.
