Trying out ideas for a future art demo

This is the first version of what will probably be a few before I'm totally happy.  I intend to keep to this scene, it is local and hence in keeping with the area.

My objective is:

to teach a small class of people with Beginner/Intermediate skills

demo a painting they can follow easily, but still has detail to it

give some painting tips on techniques along the way

and in the end, hope they end up with a painting they can feel proud of themselves for doing

first idea

I think an estuary view covers several aspects in technique.

1.  Sky - adding different washes

2. Sea/Water/Estuary - some people find 

 difficulty with water

3. Putting in a focal point (in this case it's the House)

4. Adding some Movement/Life : this comes with the boat - in peoples mind viewing this, they know there will have been somebody real there at some point and a boat moves, so hence movement

5. The foreground grasses - some are at an angle which indicates breeze and movement

As I mentioned, this is just the first version of this scene.
