Seaside Harmony

A redo I did yesterday. In my first attempt, long ago, my sky was too red. Bob used acrylic underpaint with crimson, but this is not so common used in acrylics, my brand Amsterdam does not have it in the wide collection, so I used a very cheap tube I had somewhere to underpaint the sky mixing with a bit white gesso. Still not easy to paint so many clouds near each other, always a challenge to use the right amount of paint and do the blending not too little or too much. Bob did the sea-part mostly with the knife, even the foam of the 'massive crasher'. I tried that too, but did it again with the fan brush with some addition of liquid white. The shadow lines under the foam with lavender I also removed mostly, because I did not like them. The blending back of the distant waves I still find it probably the most difficult part to let it look natural. A bit strange was the reflection with Indian yellow, I used probably too much paint for that. I tried it on wallpaper of 40 x 30 cm.
