First the entire sheet was wet until it was soaked, where the water wants to run off the sheet. Quinacridone Rose, and Ultramarine Blue were charged side by side into the wet surface to create the lightest colors in the painting.
After it was totally dry, the darker beach and lower waves were painted in sections using Quin Rose, Ultramarine Blue, Burnt Sienna, plus a touch of Sap Green. Soft edges between colors were created wet in wet. Hard edges happen where wet meets dry areas.
Once the beach area was dry, I did the same in the sky to create the clouds, leaning toward blue in my greyed mixture instead of brown.
Lastly I mixed my black using the same three basic colors, which was used to paint the hill and very small people in the distance. Biggest hint: Paint boldly and do not go go back in to fuss in the dark passages once they are laid down.
