Mona’s lakeside

Still busy with stage 1.
Painted the first underlayer of the water and the foreground today. The details on the mountains will be done coming Tuesday.
The last lesson I painted the storm clouds and a few days later I painted the tree trunks again.
This is really taking shape.

It's coming together so nicely. I like the shimmer on the water. Looking forward to seeing it finished. @jacqbb

@jacqbb you have a great eye for details and even greater patience. I sit and stare... you are a wonder.

So, for the water, you have 3 tones there? Dark, medium and light? And did all those small lines a bit curved?

How big is your canvas?

@wakelys @salza @summerfield @30pics4jackiesdiamond @monikozi Thank you all so much dear gang members!
Monika, I’m painting this on a wooden panel 40x50 cm’s and there are 3 shades of raw umber and titanium white in the water. The curves of water should have probably been more blended but there is always the next layer of paint.

Wow, this is looking fabulous!

@jacqbb you have already achieved a great amount of depth in this beginning effort! Your choice to use the wooden panel as a starting place is going to give stronger detail to the finished results! I can only Imagine what the water is going to look like when you were finished since it always looks almost perfect! Eagerly anticipating the final results of this one.

@kjarn Thank you Kathy!
@casablanca Thanks Casa glad you already like it.
@grammyn Thank you Katy, the difference between a canvas and a panel is the texture or in case of the panel lack of texture. It is a totally smooth surface to work on. I’m hoping it’s going to work out well.
