The green squiggles and commas keep the same load from start to finish, with no dry gaps or puddles. The two little landscapes have a streaky sky and some backruns where the crimson hills met the wet green.

Dark trees against a pale field give the landscapes some depth, but the hills and sky sit in the same mid value.

Varied greens on purpose in the landscapes (olive, yellow-green, a dark green for the trees), all clean. The crimson hills are straight from the pan.

The hatching and the fir-tree needles are crisp where they should be. In the landscapes, crimson ran into green where it wasn't planned.

The fir tree is the star: quick tapering strokes that get shorter towards the top, so it reads as a tree straight away. The tapered commas show the grip is working.

The landscapes are stacked in equal bands of similar width, so nothing leads the eye.
