Absolutely love this painting of your son. Helpful instruction. I noticed that you moved the half submerged branches closer up in the foreground. Excellent. In the original photo the branch placement distracted from the figure (competing for my eye). But in your painting, the figure is still primary and the branch is now "in view" of the figure. This is more interesting & makes my eyes flow naturally through the painting. Also, it reminds me of how kids like to play with sticks in the water, or wonder "whats down there".
Watching you always amazes me at how you do big broad washes and then so easily do the finest details. You explain things so clearly and step by step. Thank you. 🙏 ❤️

I noticed you moved the stick in the water near the figure. Smart move. Such a sweet painting. :)

Still I don't get it why always wetting the paper.
So you can layer the colors as you paint.
wet paper = colors blend. More blended colors and shapes = stronger, nicer painting.
