The way you painted the fountain with the spray splashing and disturbing the water causing the reflections to break up is really good! You’re doing some outstanding work on your skies and water in your recent paintings. Your depictions of architecture are very charming, as always.

I love it!

By the way, there is no such thing as cheating in art.

In truth, I do wish to learn their way of doing it. Aside from the cachet involved, the light just never looks right if you don’t do it that way. But with this series, it’s meant to be an on-location journal so i tried to reserve whites with negative painting, but when I lost them the pen came out. And actually, I think it explained the falling water perfectly. :grin:
