This was a scene I saw a few weeks ago. It sums up the remoteness of the place and the sun coming up over the trees added to the misty atmosphere. Tall grasses and reeds poking out into the still water hopefully draw you in. In the field on the opposite bank were strange dark masses. I thought that they were livestock but they seemed to be deposits of soil. Anyway, they gave me the idea of slipping a few cows in and creating a narrative for the scene. I had to resort to a bit of gouache to complete the grassy area, but I elected for that approach, with some scratching out, rather than masking fluid. A typical British rural scene.
