Back to oils

I've spent a while sketching out this composition on a canvas. The light was fantastic illuminating the swirls of movement on the pond. The duck had a magical glow due to a fantastic sunset. This was taken at my favourite place, Richmond Park.

I've decided I need to get more organised in my approach to my work which at best is a little haphazard, so I have spent time selecting a palette, rather then making it up as I go along.

White

Burnt Sienna

Cadmium Orange Hue

Cadmium Yellow Hue

Cadmium Yellow Light

French Ultramarine

Cerulean Blue Hue

Payne's Grey

Magenta

Naples Yellow

These colours I think will be all I need, I want the finish smooth and liquid.

I've tweaked my last painting, main difference is the line of the wash. This has been brought down, and some more magenta/brown in the water to show the sand through the sand.
