As I mentioned in a previous post, the multiple surface planes of the water in this painting make it a complicated piece. As I moved to the foreground I thought this area would be pretty straightforward. A swoop here, a swoop there and it'd be done.
Hardly. While this section appears more simple, the feel of the water is still accomplished with subtle changes in the highs and lows of the water surface. The background "mountain" of water has lots of directional changes but the foreground, in addition to the changes in the water's planes, also incorporates more texture to help it read well.
