Loved this game! Good puzzles, mellow vibe created with music and art style. Appreciate the go-at-your-own-pace and experiment to solve puzzle design. Would love to see more levels. Thanks, vidarn.

That’s a great compliment, thank you!

I have no idea of your level of experience, but I can try to offer some general advice.

For me, learning to paint from life has been the most useful skill I've developed.
It’s an incredible way of increasing your observational abilities and building a visual library.
The practice of drawing scenes and objects around you is fundamental when trying to paint from your imagination.

I would recommend checking out resources related to Plein Air painting.

For instance, James Gurney is an incredible artist and teacher. His resources (books and videos) have been very valuable to me.

I like using gouache when I paint outdoors. It's a very nice medium to work with once you're used to it, and it can be quite affordable.
You can get by with just a few colors. I just bring white, black, blue, burnt sienna, yellow ochre, and perhaps a tube of yellow when I go out to paint. Limiting your palette like this is a good way to practice color mixing.

Check out this video where James Gurney paints in gouache with just ultramarine blue, burnt sienna and some white

I'll also take the opportunity to recommend the video tutorials by Alphonso Dunn, who is an excellent art teacher and covers a lot of subjects and techniques

Sorry for all the text. I don't know if this is what you were looking for.
Let me know if you (or anyone else reading this) have any specific questions.

Best of luck on your artistic journey, and thanks for playing my game :)

I didn't expect to get such a detailed reply. 
I will watch the videos and painters you mentioned. 
Before you replied to me, I browsed all your previous games, because it's not just your painting style that makes me curious , and your puzzle design. Your inventory placement puzzle is well thought out and upgraded. I really like it. I wish you can get better and better on it (you are already doing great),thank you again!

Incredible visuals and animation! The gameplay is fun, snappy and very challenging. SFX and music are also both very relaxing.

Thank you for the nice comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the game :)
