I tried painting this water in January and was not pleased with the result, so I tried again this week – and I’m not overly pleased with the result. However, I have learned a thing or two – so maybe the third time will be the charm. In another six months or so. Light reflecting in water is sinuous, smooth and flawless – I think the knife (palette knife) is just an imperfect tool for painting it, or I have yet to find the way to make it work. I resorted to a brush for some of this one.
