- Painting Technique : I sketched the outline of the lily and then filled in the background but found trying to get the shimmer of the water very difficult.
- I also found trying to get a bright color tone difficult for the lily- it was either too pink or too red.
- This looked like an easy study but it was not.

- Painting Process: I started with the water lily and the reflections. Then I painted the water. I thought it would be easy but it was so difficult. In particular the water took me quite a long time. Because of the Yupo the colors ran into each other whereby the shade didn't come out well. It was a very good exercise!

Challenge 41 - Water Lily
I must share with you how delighted my cousin Oki was with such a variety of styles and artistic expressions we all witnessed in the last challenge. Many of you shared how difficult it was and I applaud to all of you who participated. What is the most important is to advance your skills and keep observing, painting and practicing.
About the composition
This time I have chosen a subject related to painting water and reflections. While looking at it, it is hard not to think of Claude Monet's garden in France and his famous water lilies.
I hope you will enjoy painting this water study.
Please send your entries by November 09. The next challenge will be posted on November 10.
