Step 13

Wet the area to the

left of the cormorant,

and add some more

of the stronger mix

of French ultramarine

and burnt umber,

drawing it down into

the wet area. This will

give the impression

that the rocky shelf

is emerging from

behind the foam.

t

Step 12

Change to the No. 6 brush, and use the same mix of French

ultramarine and burnt umber to strengthen the shadow on the

right-hand side of the shelf. Once dry, add fracture lines to the

shelf using the No. 1 Rigger, again with the dark grey mix.

t

Step 11

Use the 12mm (^1 ⁄ 2 in.) flat synthetic brush to add short, broken parallel

lines of the stronger grey mix of French ultramarine and burnt

umber to the shelf of rock. Split the bristles and use the brush to add

textural colour and detail, adding in touches of yellow ochre, too.

t

Step 10

Load the No. 1 Rigger with the same

stronger grey mix of French ultramarine

and burnt umber to develop the mid-

ground rock face, creating fracture lines

t

Step 9

Use the damp ‘blade’ of the 12mm

(^1 ⁄ 2 in.) flat synthetic brush to refine

and sharpen the top edge of the

lifted-out rocky shelf.

t

with the point and general texture with

the side of the bristles. Create more

texture on the left-hand side using the

No. 4 Round brush in the same way. Work

down to, but not over, the lifted-out area.
