Forest stream...photo progression

I've been a little slow creating this month, but here is a painting that was inspired by a demonstration by Juan Pena at the Sacramento Fine Arts Center. He makes it so easy, and although a lot of his work is plein air, he did this one from memory.  I love his bold colors and the loose, flowing style that he calls "representational watercolor". Here is my attempt at imitating his style.

  1. nice little painting although the color of the sky strikes me as strange. I always try to put some of the sky color in the foreground and the foreground color in the sky. I am going to look up the instructor that you followed as I enjoy seeing all types of art. Thanks Michael and keep up the good work!
