Not Too Happy

It doesn't even really look like water....
But, as I should remind myself, it's all a learning process and blah blah blah.....
This oil pastel is SUPPOSED to be light on water.  Ya know, like all rippily and all.
I don't know.  Something went wrong.  Maybe its the colors I chose to use.
I think I'll try and study some photos of rippily water and see if that sheds any light on where I went wrong.
Anyway, maybe better luck next time...

  1. Idea: Go to library and look how other artists portray light on water. The impressionists tried it all the time. If you study other painters, you can benefit from their lessons.

  2. I knew it was water right away, but I thought it was oil on water. Still, I like it. I think looking at impressionist light on water is a great idea!
