Rapid Reflections
by Nancy Horwick, 2008, oil, 30 x 24.
|
There are a few adjustments that I suggest for this piece. First, use some shadow colors (dark and medium tones) in the waterfall. Gray the whites—make some variations in the highlights. The other adjustment I would make would be to warm up the greens throughout the composition—especially the greens in the water, since they are in the foreground and closest to the viewer. I like the rocks!
