A vagabond's sketchbook

[ramalooke]

Nice. The piece is coming along nicely. I kinda know what you mean with the value range. Water blends with the rest of the piece. Remember that water will never be only orange hue. It Will be darker value than the rest of the image. Find some references on the subject. They should help. I did really quick paint over and grabed view refs to show you what i mean. Hope it helps.
