This is an older painting. I have a tendency to get lost in details, and simplifying is something I still struggle with.

8x10 gouache. Apologies to the snow weary. 😉

Painted in gouache from a photo taken during a winter holiday. Small painting 20cmw x 15cm. The water in the foreground was very difficult to paint - and the sky is far too "busy" (how can I soften edges in gouache?), but I enjoyed the painting process. I mistakenly thought this would be fairly straightforward - it wasn't.

An older attempt to paint water and reflections on it, oil painting.

Hi everyone, I’ve continued working on my acrylic study. What do you think — do the tonal values work better now? Do the fallen branches in the foreground look odd? I’d really appreciate any tips or feedback!
