I continue to build simple colours in the water, the headlands and the bridge that is back near the horizon. Already the ship seems to be sitting on the surface of the water and moving towards the bridge.
I add more detail to the trees and then spend more time building subtle colour shifts in the surface of the water. Each wave is a separate surface. Each of these surfaces is concave in shape, so light is reflecting off of them in a multitude of angles and intensities. Everything is in continuous motion, so I find the best way to paint water is to recreate the impression it gives you rather than trying to sort out specific details. I work over this surface a number of times, occasionally adding a thin glaze with one colour to unify everything if it gets too busy.
