It's so cool to see it here. Things really pop out. Immediately I can see that the value of the girl's back, lower, is too light and the boy on the left's t-shir is bad at the bottom. . I need help with suggestions of the boy's shirt. I changed it to red hoping for the "pop" effect. His shirt in the photo is the same color as the water.
I am not sure how deep to go in value with the darkest shadow in the water, just off their bodies. In the photo it looks so black and I don't want any dead spots.
If anyone has any suggestions about the reflection, jump right in. I know it will be important to get the right effect. There is no detail in the water, waves, etc. yet. I figure that would come nect. The paint is on very thin. It looks like the horizon dips a bit on the right. I will have to check that.
At this point all I have for good examples are Sorolla prints and Monet books. I dont' watn to go too impressionistic, but it is fun to slap on that paint!
