Update 4 - Painting in Progress

Sunday 27th January - 2 hours

A few weeks after last working on this painting I decided to start work again. I wasn't entirely feeling in a creative mood, however as it had been such a long time since I last worked on it, I thought I had best give it a go and hoped for the best.
I'm not sure how I feel about the additions I've made to the painting this evening - trees have never been a strong point of mine, so this was never going to be easy, but I think I'm going to have to revisit these areas later on and make some amends/additions. Whilst I think it is always hard to start again on a piece after a long period of time, sometimes I think it is best not to push yourself when you're not ready to continue, and maybe tonight's progress is proof of that...

Those trees definitely need further attention!

Update 3 - Painting In Progress

Sunday 6th January - 2 hours

Here's a quick update on the painting as it is after a few hours work today - you can see in the photo that I still need to add a lot more depth and tone to the waterfall, so my next painting session will be working in some darker areas in an attempt to show the motion of the water falling.  Once I'm finished with the water I can then move on to the foreground and working in a lot more detail.

Starting point today:

After several hours:
