Tumbling Water – A Work in Progress

Today I worked on this painting that I had started last year (see my posting on 21 December 2010).

In the higher falls I put in a few more movement lines into the water and added more definition to the rocks closest to the water.

To the rock cliffs I darkened a few areas of the rocks close to the water, added a little more definition to some of the rocks and added cracks and crevices to other parts of the rock face.

I also added a few darker dead tree trunks into the tree line at the top of the rock cliff.

In the waterfall I placed a couple of rocks that had water rushing over them and added some movement lines to the falls.

Once the painting was totally dry I scraped out a few highlights with a razor blade.

I will post this painting when it is completed.
