Blue River

Txing 05 Jan 2025

well i made a mess of this ahah i think i'm putting to much pressure on myself so mid way I switched to "study mode" and started trying to clear some accidents which ended up totally changing my reflection color and the overal feeling of the paiting

i got carried away on this one but it's with the accidents that I learn

I did the foreground on the right with the 1' brush but switched to the oval one for the left which I ended up preferring a lot

at least I got to study with some messy accidents :D hope the next one goes better xD

p.s the glare is from the lights in the room, I did this one deep in the night so the picture does glare a bit

Looks Great πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ

Happy accidents can have great results.

Hello Eduardo! The trees are great. The sky is great. Keep in mind that water reflects the colors in the sky so the green wouldn’t be in the water. Easy fix though to go back with a fan brush and some blue and crimson to make it match the sky.

Thanks Colin and Dirk! Much appreciated!

I indeed thought about fixing it with a mix of crimson but since there were so many layers beneath it I was kind of scared ahahah

Thanks Bob for the advice! Will note for future happy accidents! πŸ™πŸ» cheers all!

I especially like the tree highlights!

Thank you Jon! I tried two different methods, I must say I prefer the ones on the left, made with the 1' oval brush instead of the straight 1'

cheers!
