Color and value adjustments

Below is the completed demonstration painting. Several hours after finishing the video, I realized that I need to darken the largest rock to give it a better sense of mass, and to link it value-wise to its shadow reflected in the water. I also wanted the shadow reflected in the water have more vibrant color so I used a color mixture dominated by opaque paints including Cobalt Turquoise.  Finally, with my damp brush, I softened the line of the water's edge at the beach.
