From the Artist: The worst thing about doing a painting of something I've witnessed myself, is knowing that I'll never do it justice at my current skill level. But, I had to try! I hope to some day come back and do this again. It was fun experimenting with brush techniques, and discovering how many colours I could come up with using a semi-limited palette.
From the Painting Guide: While you may get frustrated by the result not being what you want it to be, it's better to try than give up before you've even started. If you don't try, you'll definitely never achieve what you desire. Come back to it in a few month's time and give it another go. And again and again as necessary. Keep each version and occasionally look at them, analyse what works and doesn't, then do a new one.
While I obviously can't know how you wanted this painting to look, nor how the actual landscape looked, the words "distant sleet" make me think the tone in this painting is too bright for sleet weather conditions. I'd be tempted to take a mixture of titanium white (because it's opaque but keep it thin) and the gray you've got in the hill and, with a broad brush, put one layer over the whole painting and a second over the distance part of the painting.
