Thank you Linda, that is great suggestion! I will look at the refference photo more carefully and work on the area again. I will post it once it is done.

Very good job on the foreground rocks, water, and your stormy sky. The shapes of the rocks are great. I'm thinking that the water in the distance doesn't fit as well when considering the horizon and perspective...looks higher to me than the foreground water.  Maybe bringing the land down lower to cover some of the water and making that body of water an irregular shape would help.  What do you think Laura?

Hi Silvana, it is very difficult for me. I did first one by following Richard's demo step by step but I messed up at the end. I tried the second one, thought I did better it still got a bit muddy at the end. I messed up cool with warm color. At the end it seems one color on my palette. I painted background water similar to the foreground then i realized it should have atmosphere color so I added sky color into it later. I wasn't happy with that but I haven't figured out how to change it. Maybe I should smooth it a little bit?

You have made it Laura! I think this one is also an extremely difficult challenge... I love your water in the foreground! There is sth strange in the far away water though. As you already know, I am no expert at all, but it just called my attention. I would just love to know what it is...!
