Under the Sea

 

I've painted a few of these underwater scenes because they are fun to do. There's no need for precision because the hazey, watery look is what I'm after. The coral in the lower part is done using dark paint and sea salt. When the salt dries and is brushed off, a textured effect is the result. The starbursts created look much like the real thing. Some of the fish were added after the painting was finished by using stencils to wash off paint with a sea sponge. The srencil can be made using flexible plastic such as that found in a package of bacon. A Sea scene created with the help of Sea salt and a Sea sponge.
