[OC] My first attempt at sculpting a textured rock wall (handmade relief)

I recently got inspired to try creating a decorative rock surface with my own hands. I’ve never worked with plaster, sculpting tools, or anything similar before, so this was a completely new experience for me. I watched a bunch of tutorials, took notes on different techniques, bought the materials, and decided to start learning by doing. My first test piece was small, but after that I wanted to try something larger — this panel is 80×120 cm. I built up the base shape with pieces of foam, applied plaster in several layers, carved the details, and finally painted it with acrylics. I also added some visible brush texture intentionally, as a stylistic choice, to make it feel more like hand-made art rather than an imitation of real rock. Since I’m still new to this, it’s hard for me to objectively judge the result. I would love to hear feedback, criticism, or advice from more experienced artists. Thanks for taking a look!
