This creek was tiny, but the water delightfully shimmered as it bounced and flowed down from pool to pool. In this painting, I first blocked out the white areas with masking fluid. Then I painted more or less from top to bottom, light to dark. I used repeated alternations between light and darker colors to create the shimmering effect of the small ripples in the water. The rocks and ripples become larger in the foreground to depict a sense of depth.
