Water

When I work on water, I like to have a large block of time. It is with blending wet into wet that I can achieve the soft look of water.
This water was a unique challenge. The reflections are in bands. Starting with the right side, I begin painting in the stripes. To see more detail, click on an image.

1-establishing the darks

2-adding some warm colors and blending

3-the left bands before blending

4. Blended.

Some adjustments were made from three to four. For instance, the bright yellow bush has a more yellow reflection.
