Morning from Waterfront, Portland
We have a lot of boats near where I lived. in 10 minutes walk, this is what I saw. But, I'm having hard time capture the water movement, the reflection and simplified the view and often feel that my painting has too much brush stroke. Also, raw sienna doesn't glow for me (too thick, perhap?). I wet the whole paper down, but not sure where I should start and how to layer the work. Any suggestion will help here. :-)

my 9x12" painting after 2 hours...

I gave it 2 more tries... still bad. but definitely see the effect you describe. will give another try before packing up colors for the year :)
