these are images of images so the color is not what you would do but rather an emample of the direction you would go in.
Cindy:
The thing that strikes me about this painting is that the water shows a powerful sunshine
and yet the trees, rocks, sky, back foilage, show a more grey day overcast mood.
By adding some warms and lightening your values in the back you can increase your
distance and give an illusion of sunshine. By adding some warms to the rocks and
trees you can give the illusion of sunshine. Then by darkening the front foilage a little
and some of the side of the rock face, you bring out that beautiful water even more
and to me that is the end all .. it is absolutely perfect water.
This is a nice painting but it could be an extra special painting.
Hope this helps you in your art.
In the closeup of the rock ledge and trees, see how I've added some purples and blues
and yellows to the cliff .. it warms the piece up and makes one feel better as one
always feels better staning in the sunlight after a little stay in the cold.
later,
baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa not the mint sauce!!!!!!!!!!!
