It's easy to get lost in the ice shadows if you are shackled to your reference photos.
When I was there taking my reference photos I noticed that although it is chunks of ice, there is a softness to it. Since this part is in the background I want to avoid unnecessary hard edges.
At this stage I step back to see if I'm getting the feeling of ice even though the highlights are not painted. I also find that taking photos with my phone and looking at the painting on a very small scale can help me see what places need adjustment.
