Cameras do lie. I am posting the uncropped painting which is the closest in color to the original. The cropped version seems to have gotten less saturated in color. Well here goes, hope I had some understanding of what to do. Picture had to be resized by Wet Canvas and now color looks different but you will get the idea I guess. Dee

I might a well address tomorrow during class.

Looking forward to your critique Ken. The left side gave me lots of trouble as well as the green mountain. Didn't quite know how to handle that either.

Thank you Ken for a very informative class today your 3rd Lesson on the Masters.
Boy, do I now know that my painting put your eyes out!

Wanted it to be seen across the room. Gosh, it blinded you in Canada

Practice, practice and read my Brain and Brushwork books. I play music so I know about practice and haven't applied it to my painting. But will do so now.
Thank you again for this wonderful informative course.

Here is the finished version of the painting, I hope I got the water to move and to make sense as water.

I apologize if I did not get through your homework during class. I do not know why they do not show up in the photoshop, it seems they disappear. Let me take a quick break and I will continue on with the comments and critiques.

Thanks for your support, I hope you enjoyed the course.

Kenneth.

I did not realise it was a mountain in the far distance, what I would do is cool it as it recedes, like the top part. If you want to suggest some sky very sublty, go even cooler.

Thank you Ken for your critique I was wondering how I could salvage it.

Hi Ken,
When you were speaking about "moving water," I just couldn't see it as NOT moving. (maybe wrong brain action here) In fact, all the water looked to me as if it were all moving. I tried to paint diffused areas in the water that you spoke about please see attachment. I did this in watercolor even though you said it would be more difficult. thank you Carol

A frozen stiff image cannot move, what you are referring to is that it looked like water the is supposed to move, but you can still see it as being stuck, like the day the earth froze. Ultimately, still imagery is still imagery, but you can reduce the effect of stiffness by playing the eye's optical devices to make it look for the form and edges, but it fails to, because then it reads it as movement. When you get the recording, if you want to, go very slowly through the slides and look closer. Some images give the idea of movement more than others.
