Watercolor painting on A3 rough grain 440gsm paper.
Did some detailed painting today.. advantage of having a free Sunday. Took some breaks in between so the painting was done in stages rather than my normal in one go style. Took about 3 hrs to finish this. Good output but hurried towards the end so the right corner is not really that good.
Left side is really good.

Details right:
First layer:
Didn't take photo of sketch 🥺.. it wasn't detailed though! Cerulean blue for water and Yellow ochre mostly for mud.. some burnt sienna too
Middle stage:
Completed bamboo with different greens and Payne's grey and indigo for rocks. Water to be worked on
Painting vs Reference:
Image is a still from Chalakudy river near Athirapilly waterfalls, Kerala I took early morning today
I don't like to paint like these.. it needs loads of patience and is stressful. I love free flow painting .. it's so relaxing 😁
