Adding Detail

It's quite hard with this painting to see very much development, because all of the elements are already there. What I'm aiming to do is to tighten up the amount of detail that is there. I also want to add more depth, which will be achieved by adding a greater contrast between the light and dark areas. Looking at the original photo shows a lot more sparkle in the water, and the area at the bottom of the image is where the splash is taking place from the foot kicking up, so I will be using splatters and splashes to achieve the effect. This will be an interesting contrast between the area in the top left hand corner which shows the bigger ripples.

I've also added detail to the figure here, just to better place it in its context, and the addition of the goggles is quite and interesting feature, as it makes it look quite eery.
