Next stage of mill painting



Here is stage 2 of my painting-in-progress of Stockdale Mill.

As you can see there is a lot of work still to be done. The perspective of the red building is a little off kilter. The windows for a start should not diminish in size quite so much. They need straightening.

The bare tree at the back is right at the corner of the rear building ,so needs to be "moved" a little to the right.

The yellowish part to the left should be lighter on the left hand side where the light hits and darker on the right. The roof should be almost white in places.

The reflections in the water need work.

The green grass on the right while making a statement, is a bit too bright. It could also be balanced by placing some other patches of green, perhaps behind the building. I will have to give that some tought. Suggestions?

I am not trying to make this a realistic painting. Hopefully I will not overwork it and make it too "real"!
