Distant Dunes

Description

Planned this one out with some thumbnail sketches. I would really like some feedback, I started this in greyscale, and had a lot of trouble painting it. I got there in the end by duplicating the layer, changing the new one to multiply, and putting a colour layer in the middle.
Should I paint straight in colour for environments in the future?

I really love the building peeking out through the dunes in the backdrop. I love how the brushstrokes are rough in the front and then smooth out towards the sand dunes in the back.

The only thing I could think of is using a bit more variation in the colors on the sand, a little more than yellows and browns perhaps?

Overall it's a very lovely piece! I also love the cow skull in the foreground. :D
