Reflections (Oil Bar Painting as of July 27, 2013)

This morning I worked on this oil bar painting, and this is how it looked when I stopped working. I am painting a scene at Bradley Palmer State Park, from a photo that I took last summer. (Reference photo posted June 14, 2013). Today I went back to the shoreline and modified the shapes of the foliage along the water. I also made some changes to the trees, suggesting foliage in the shadows. And I also worked a bit on placement of the lily pads in the foreground. This is still underpainting. This is still underpainting. I am still using very thin coats of paint while I figure out placement and composition.
