Finished- Long Slide Falls 28"x 22" oil on linen

Callin' er done I think...

Today I wrestled with the water...bit more shadows on the left, and at the whitewater applied a good amount of white pigment.

Learned some time ago...that if you want a pigment to appear its brightest, best to use a paint knife and lay it on thick and flat.  The minute ruts left behind of a bristle brush actually invites the play of shadows each rut casts upon another...and a color appears a tad dull.  So, I applied the pigment quite heavy...smooth with the paint knife, but where I think the eye should pick up on more turbulence of the water...I mixed up another batch of white pigment, used a wide bristle...and laid in very thick strokes...

Here is a smaller view, as if standing 4-5 paces back...(and all images clicked on show up bigger)
