Moving on — from this painting

Well, i’m ready to let go of this painting.  This week i put on a layer of oil over parts of the top half that were looking kind of flat. (That helped some other parts of this painting a couple of weeks ago.).  I also worked a bit on the very thin branches on the left side of the painting.  Teacher thought i should give them a “dappling” effect, so tried to do that.  And finally, i used a new technique: the corner of a small fan brush and a very light stroke — to give some “sparkle” to some of the water, and to show some droplets.  That was fun — never tried that before.13CE5812-3F30-4D78-A41B-B443BC96AE53.jpeg
