My “calm water” painting is coming along.  Teacher returned this week after over a month away, and (of course) he had some suggestions about areas for improvement. The two main ones i worked on in class were: (1) water flowing over rocks in the lower waterfall part of the painting.  He (teacher) thought I’d painted that area to look like the water was rushing, and that’s not how it was in real life (or, in the photo).  So i attempted to fix that.  (2) top part of the painting.  This is hard for viewer to see, i think, but the idea is that i need to address the issue of depth, as in, the big evergreens are closer than the lighter part in the middle.  I didn’t get to finish this part, either, but you can see, perhaps, where I’m going.
