I wanted to get one of the water scenes in as it takes away some of the guesswork as to what the overall composition is supposed to be. Aerials indicate the bay is essentially a teal hue which I created using a 50/50 mix of blue and green acrylic craft paints. When that dried, I applied gloss medium using a gentle vertical stabbing motion to add texture. The pier face is a mix of styrene and stained strip wood.
