Comment by Linda L. Kano on June 26, 2013 at 2:03: Very good job Annie. It's interesting how the design you chose works. Great angles. I like how you made the water more green as it got close to shore and the mirror like reflection. Thank you for telling us your palette.

Comment by David DEntremont on June 26, 2013 at 1:03: Annie - Like how you handled perspective. Less saturation of color heading towards the distant cliffs.

Well Done!

Comment by Ngaire Lincoln on June 25, 2013 at 15:00: Nice reflections :)

Comment by Jess Paskel on June 23, 2013 at 8:14: Annie - this is gorgeous! and thanks for sharing your techniques - so helpful!

Comment by Sharon Casavant on June 22, 2013 at 0:08: I like this choice for this challenge! But I think the atmospheric perspective is a little too close. You have over half of the cliff whitish, should be a little darker further out... still very nice!

Comment by Annie Cullen on June 20, 2013 at 16:15: Hi Michael - I really thought I had answered you - but it looks as if i didn't. No secret! Just added more ultramarine to my warm cliff colour to make it cooler to recede plus more white and less definition as it went back. I think that the closest grey cliff (if that makes sense) should have been a bit warmer. You could do it with a glaze afterwards if you wanted to but I like to do it all at once - you have to wait ages if you're going to glaze it.

Comment by Michael J. Severin on June 20, 2013 at 14:57: Hi Annie, you never answered my question about how you painted the receding cliffs ...is it a secret?
