Step 21

Change to the No. 4 brush and use the strong

grey mix to add in rocks visible within the foam.

Keep the tops of the marks hard and clear,

and soften them nearer the base, where they

disappear into the water. Use the same mix to

t

refine and sharpen the foreground rocks, then

change to the No. 10 Round brush and paint the

sea on the left-hand side with the paler grey

mix. Take the water up to the rocks themselves,

using broken horizontal strokes. Leave a few

gaps of white paper visible, particularly nearer

the central foam, and use darker mixes towards

the edge of the paper. You can create a darker

band of waves at the border of the picture,

suggesting some wave peaks.

Step 19

Extend the sea into the

foreground by building a

stronger toned band of

the water with the No. 10

Round, using the grey mix

(French ultramarine and

burnt umber). Add a

touch of nickel titanate

yellow, and light marks

using the grey mix, to add

interest to the water.

t

Step 20

Using the tip of the

brush, add faint broken

marks of the pale grey

mix into the pool of

foam, strengthening

them here and there

for depth.
