Visits over. Back to painting

​After a busy few weeks it was good to get back to the easel. Although no paintings have been completed the time has not been wasted.
I have visited several galleries ( and some were actually open) and have being doing some studies as reference for future paintings.
I started in the usual way blocking in some larger areas with light colours before adding some darks to bring the composition together.
Next I covered the top section before turning the picture over to add the water. This also gives another view of the work to help to see areas that can be improved.
Finally adding the detail to finish the picture.
