The fish are done. You have to learn when it is time to step back, put down the brush, and just look at your painting. You need to step out of being a creator to being an observer and know when it is time to move on to the next step. The trees are very important to this world, and so are their roots. I layer in the short, gnarly root system of the pines. The earth, while made up of decomposed grass, trees, and creatures, also contains rock. I sketch in Rundle rock in the soil, and surround each rock with the turquoise color from the lake. Without water there is nothing. The Chief beckons me, and I begin to lay down colours on his face and headdress.
