I started with the first sketch and working from the background forward I put in the horizon line and added a few details to the cottage at the far side of the lake.
Next, I put the bark on the tree trunks and added the needles onto the branches of the one living tree.
Coon Lake I
From there I added more details onto the rocks and gave more shape to the reeds in the foreground.
Once again starting from the back and working forward I put in the horizon line first and indicated the heights of the trees on the distant shore.
Coon Lake II
Next, I added more details to the rocks and trees in the middle area, followed by doing the same to the foreground trees, rocks and growies.
I will post each of these drawings at a later date as more work on them is completed.
