Just started painting two weeks ago
Been watching Olly's videos off and on for about a year and decided to finally settle down and start putting brush to paper. A lot of my painting is done while I'm on dialysis at home. I'm finding this very rewarding and calming.
This is a painting of the bay in Sandy Hook, NJ USA from a reference photo I took yesterday.

You caught the spirit of the Jersey shore in cold weather. I like the composition; add the shadows, as suggested, and you are on your way. I like the way you took your time and studied the different shapes.
