Painted ripples-swan painting update

It sure is taking a long time to add all those ripples and waves to this painting! It should all be worth it in the end, I would hope. Next, I will try to finish the last of the 2 cygnets and the water in the middle of the painting.

Painting of swan family-pastels

There birds were swimming past me under the cover of some trees and as a result, the light spots on the last few swans and on the ground are due to the sunlight penetrating the canopy.
This is taking a long time to work the details of the ripples but relatively much shorter when compared to the other mediums I work with (colored pencil, graphite and watercolor).
