they seem both the same, i mean the shape of the mountains is the same. the number 2 seems more vivid to me, though.

sure, the mountains are slightly different and definitely the background is different. i just thought that the difference between the mountains was so small, that i liked the number 2 because of the background. but the question was about the mountains, so i got confused it was because of my English. ok, i vote for number 2!

I prefer the top one, though it's a bit left heavy.
do you like hokusai?

I like number 1 the best because I like the idea of large white/blank areas of a painting cutting through the colours. I do something like that. I use masking film you can get in art shops.

i also like large blank white spaces on canvas. maybe i'll leave the mountain white, and the sky in color?

This is definitely the correct option

What you painting on board/canvas? I'm guessing canvas, because you said so.
