25 Clouds (2/2)

The final five.
The 21st piece was painted with a reference (I think some would recognize it since the reference is quite popular). Man, I had a hard time with color accuracy. The reference felt humid. It felt soft yet vibrant. I tried to replicate that feeling but I failed, haha.
The 22nd piece uses almost the same color palette as the 21st since I thought the colors were actually interesting despite its failure.
I think I painted the 23rd quite well, until I added the vibrant yellow. I think was trying to add a reflection of the color of a morning sun, but I think that I overdid it. I also added a little bit of purple because it seemed interesting to do so, but looking at the result, I'm not sure about that decision.
24th was painted with a reference. It was supposed to feel darker to represent a sunset/dusk. But I'm still proud of the result.
25th took longer than expected. I kind of "cheated" by copy-pasting half of it and flip it vertically to imitate a reflection on the water. I think I should have refrained from doing that and painted it manually. I think it would look more natural that way, and I would have more freedom to articulate the ripples.
