sea-scape

The one great thing you can do with acrylics that is a lot more difficult with watercolours is that once it is dry you can rework bits that you don't like, add light bits over dark bits, and so on. I've added some shade to the rocks and waves and improved the definition of the waves by deepening the colour just under their white caps. I also tried to give the shore a bit more texture by gently splattering the sand (while covering up the sea with a bit of paper).
