I really enjoyed painting this one. It’s a bit different from my usual landscapes. I added a light wash for the rocks under the water and found it worked pretty well to suggest something under the water, without being too busy. I still think I need to work on my values, but days like this are what’s it’s all about!
Painted as part of PleinAirpril challenege 2024, where I painted outside every day for the whole of April.
