Re: Presiding
Thanks everyone for the great comments!
Great suggestion Ian. I am looking at doing that, but haven't yet figured out how to achieve it with the self leveling gel I use for the finish of the water. It creates a great illusion of depth that can't be seen in the photograph. That's why I posted the side shot - straight on you can't see the reflective nature of the gel.
I'm already experimenting with other colours added to the gel and how perfectly I can level the table to have some control over how far the reflections "flow" during the drying process. Also, I'm thinking about whether I can paint the reflections prior to adding the gel, and still have them read as relfections.
But before doing that, I'm going to do at least a few alla prima studies to improve the expressiveness of the lilies and lily pads. I'm happy with the rendering, but wish I'd included more colour variation.
Cheers,
