ACEO - Sunset Island 7

Today is our last day at the Knoepfli Inn and we will head for home after breakfast.

Last night I couldn't get to sleep so I got up, made myself a cup of tea and worked on this painting that I had started a couple of years ago (see post on 12 July 2017).

With a dark mixture of French ultramarine blue, burnt sienna and alizarin crimson I painted in the silhouette of the pine tree and a couple of dead trees to either side of the main pine tree.

Next, I in a few reflections into the water.

With a lighter mixture of the same colours I put in the cracks and shadows on the rocks and indicated a few grasses at their base.
