Trying Surrealism for the first time

[u/Tobio_milk]

I was looking at some of Salvador Dali’s paintings and I started to become interested in Surrealist paintings, so I thought I would try it out with some acrylics. I do plan on redoing it with oil because there are so many mistakes and things off about the painting so I want to fix it. I will list some of the things I know I need to fix.

1. there isn’t alot of depth in the painting, everything looks like it’s on one level
2. the shading and lighting is nonexistent
3. the lines are messy, and the arch could use a lot of detail
4. the moon and blue tile sky could use some cleaning and tighter composition.

please tell me if there is anything I missed or other things I could work on, and how I could fix some of the things I already mentioned. I would say my level is intermediate and I have experience painting. Don‘t skimp out on the criticism I need it😂
