The assignment was to paint water. I chose a photo of Blue Spring, a natural manatee refuge, as my inspiration and attempted to recreate it in chalk and various blenders in Painter.

My version done in chalks, artist Seurat, Impressionist, and round blender brushes |
More color, more blending, more je ne sais quoi. |
The third version used elements of the first two efforts, plus some new vegetation that I have never seen in nature. I created a brush variation from Den's Oil Splatter Brush for filling in. |
