Walk by the Canal. Work in Progress thread

My initial underpainting is about placement. Here I'm building on where I want the layers to be and starting to create the shape of the painting

Building up the layers of the trees. I block out the parts where the sky shows through and then add foliage for realism.

Adding in the lowlights. A fellow artist said the tree on the right looked like a head of broccoli at this stage!

Working out where the reflection on the water would be. It was a bit too blue at this stage though.

Toned down the water and starting to add some highlights to the foliage

Warming the picture with yellows. Added a boat too.

More detail to the water, added some shadows and put some shadowing and texture on the path

The finished painting
