Zoom (requires log in)

Rushed it at the end kinda

Composition completely by me. But I used references for colors and so on.

no reflections in the water? :(
And that mountain on the right, supposing it's far away it should be blue a little darker than the sky, not black as it is now.
other than that, it's pretty neat.

hmm, actually I should have painted the whole image darker.. oh well.. watercolor

and some sucky contrast editing in ps it seems 0o


regardingh the reflection btw: The reference material told me there aren't any clear reflections in a rather unquiet sea. And I've actually messed it up with the deatils anyway :D

the mountain thing looks fine, but not as a mountain. more like a point or something covered in old growth spruce. as for the reflections, around here the water doesn't really reflect at all.

Well done, though if you call it "Meeresglut" there should be a stronger reflection imo :D
Also, for the rocks you made shadows, but no reflections.

But hey, that are only small details. Still a nice painting.

You tell me how to brighten watercolors by painting another layer of it on an existing layer and I could try to correct it xD

otherwise I just fucked that particular part up the most

Ah well, watercolors won't ever be my favorite materials for painting anyway :D
I should try the acrylics lying around here for ages already sometime xD

I picked the name within 2 minutes random brainstorming while chatting in ICQ :D
