The thing I notice about this work, is the beautifuly done reflections { clouds }, and the way the water distorted image fades out to give an impression of depth to the water. Like your other works this has an atmosphere to it. Another well executed piece.

I have often thought about painting reflective surfaces but keep putting it off till later.I have an BAC lightning {natural metal finish, RAF jet aircraft} I was always going to paint, looking at the effects of the water around the turtle shows how these surfaces should be handled.

I am pleased to read that this painting has helped. Draw and paint what you see, squint and you get the correct tones.:iconleartistplz:
