Here’s how it should look at this stage. Once we start putting in the colour and texture of the water, we can blend this in until it’s less dominant. There’s plenty of room for error here as long as you don’t start off with strong dominant and staining colours in your first reflections. You can always add some colour at a later stage.You will notice a long thin line of almost white paper where the shoreline meets the water – it usually pays to put this in even if it doesn’t exist in the reference photograph or while your painting outdoors. It helps the optical illusion of shoreline difference.
