At one point, the instructor used my picture to demonstrate some things on the left of the page [circled in bottom picture]. He used much stronger colours to pick out details and add contrast, even using straight red on the cliffs at one point (yes, I gasped a bit). It makes so much more of an impact.
I added in reflections, deepened tones and added details every old where, and sketched in little figures in the background. Ehhh on the boats, etc. But I see what they can do for a picture, adding depth and drawing the eye in.
No class next week, as it's half-term. I will miss it. I haven't done any painting on my own yet, but I think I will, rather than go into withdrawal...

I think the details really helped the pools a lot--are you happier with them? Still, quite fabulous even in the "before" pictures. We who are without artistic talent salute you!
WOW!! What a difference it makes!! I really like the details you added, it adds so much more dimention to the piece.
