Now I have darkened overall and added a bit of warm tones and the beginnings of water detail. At this stage, the lights are muted but will be brought out again as the painting progresses and the detail is further developed. The little swimming turtle has been lost for the moment. (I promise to bring him back!)

Things really begin to take shape now. Staying only with a limited color palette, the painting takes on a more 3-dimensional quality. Many things still have to be addressed, but continued postings will show progress in that direction as well.
Hope you can stick with me on this one!

The beginnings of some dark sepia tones being brought out to show dimension.
