thanks; no matter how hard I tried and how many combinations of colors I used, I still couldn't replicate the actual color of the water down there!!

I'd so hang this on my wall in my room. It's perfect for it. Gosh, i'd love to live there. It's just so peaceful and so pretty (the painting as well is jst so beautiful)

Beautiful, peaceful scene. And if the plant nearest us is blurred on purpose, I like the idea

I meant the plant n the extreme left
and if you hadn't said that your shadow was weak, I would never have seen anything wrong with it...!!! at least your shadows are stronger than mine...

thanks..The hardest thing is getting the water color right..I know, even after mixing numerous colors, I still misssed the mark Here I think I ended up with cobalt blue, some phalo green (you definetly don't want to mix in white..too opaque). Sand is full of colors, e.g., mauves, violets, blues...I usually mix these with colors like yellow ochre and white, raw sienna and white, naples yellow, etc. In order to make the sunlight look bright you need to have some darks, e.g., the deep shadows in the foreground. Hope this helps
