Painted the reeds in one two-hour session sometimes using a Japanese brush, occasionally a rigger but mostly using a Sceptre II (202) brush. I applied the finer grasses with a pen and acrylic ink. My only concern is that the painting is a tad dull t the moment but hopefully the poppies, when I paint them, will brighten up the picture. They wiull after all be dominent, being in the mid-foreground. Overall, I am happy with the result -  though I need to do something about the two reeds reaching up to the reflection of the centre tree; they look like a rather unfortunate 'V' sign at the moment, which is not the intention. One more reed crossing them should solve the problem. Watch this space....!
