Work in Progress- 2

The next stage of this painting. A watercolour on acid free sketch book paper, although I had not sketched the scenery first.  I went straight on painting with a brush starting with light colours first, just as I will do when working with soft pastels. It is a picture I had used from the blog 'Tired of London, Tired of Life'. I am painting an impression of the scenery, especially the reflections on the water that challenges me to paint them and the different tones on the water too; how the part that has sunlight looks almost whitish and how the part that was cast by the shadows looks almost black, and how parts of the tunnels look lighter due to light coming from the other end.  It had me thinking a lot on the aspects of lighting and its effects on the picture as a whole.
  I think the writer of the blog has very interesting pictures and it will be wonderful to try to paint some of them. Thanks to Tom, I must say!
