Step 7



A glaze of semi-transparent light blue over the ocean, then re-establish the sparkle. The rock is finally starting to shape up after more knife work with thick paint and glazing. The bushes are coming along, too. This might work out.

Step 6



This is slow going. Many layers to build up depth and texture. I've glazed black over the forground including the vegetation. Blue over the shadow side of the rock. Glazed a semi-transparent warm light gray over the rock in sun, the ocean and the lower sky. Put in the glare on the water with palette knife, glazed the water blue and put it in again. Painting knife with very light gray on the rocks followed by a blue glaze.
