Samana beach painting one - step III... up to my eyeballs in water and trying to resurface!

This third pass zeroed in on the water. Thinking Chinese black ink, I tried to respect the best I could the laws that govern water, making my brush behave like water... becoming one with the water. When I finally backed off, to my surprise, I got a flashback of that glorious day... however, I still have some work to do...

The completion of that third pass led to further advances with the main figure. By the look of things, surgical brush strokes and ensuring an even surface quality throughout (an unfinished look throughout!) should do it...

I seem to be back to my usual speed of execution... perhaps because I know the subject matter a little better.
