Step 8
I've pretty much finished up the water here, and I'm pretty satisfied with how it's looking. The values and colors are working, so I will probably only need a few adjustments as I wrap things up.
As you can see, I've also added a couple more washes to the sky. The first one was basically a warm, dark mixture of Burnt Siena and Alizarin to smooth out some of the brush strokes and get rid of some of the Ultramarine Blue (too purple). The second wash was basically the same except this time, with the painting upside-down, I added a black mixture (Pthalo Green and Alizarin Crimson) that got heavier as I moved down towards the bottom.
At this stage in a painting, I spend as much time, if not more, just looking and analyzing as I do actually painting.
