WIP – Shoreline Park

[Bhawna]

I think I am 95% done hew but something looks off. Is water too dark or do I need to put more light on the trees. Please let me know.

You seem to have everything right except, if you’d consider the available sunlight on the tree right at the top of the canvas, then I’d say more sunlight is required to be seen from the tree located in the midground all the way up (water reflection included), to the foreground. I believe it’s this contrast that will make the whole work “pop”. Hope this helps.

Thanks Mike for your thoughtful comments. I felt that the painting is coming across as dark. Your comments helped a lot.
