Having watched this video back my feeling is that I liked the painting more before I added the rocks and the scraped out areas. Don't get me wrong I still like this painting but I think I'll be doing another one in the future that is more minimalist and moody and emotive and open to interpretation.

This was painted on almost a full sheet of Rives BFK etching paper 46cm x 76cm. 280gsm, white.

The colours used were
Cerulean Blue
Winsor Yellow
Mix of Cobalt Blue and Light Red
Mix of Cobalt Blue, Light Red and Winsor Yellow for the ocean
Lamp Black mixed with Cobalt Blue and Light Red for the rocks
Some Winsor Yellow for the bit of light in the bottom left corner of the rocks.

The brushes used were
2 inch Holbein Hake
1 inch Holbein Hake
Small round series 7 winsor and newton sable for signing the painting

Other
A razor blade to scratch out the lights
And of a spray bottle
Tissues
MDF board and 3M magic tape to tape the paper to the board and 3M removable tape to tape off the horizon.

Music
Things we wouldn't say by Michael FK
Dusk to dawn by Josh Leak
Better now by Philip Daniel Zach

Rives BFK etching paper. Probably best to source this from your local store so you can look after the paper and not have it posted unless you are buying a large amount of paper and it will be looked after. There is nothing worse than getting hundreds of sheets all with a indent in them. Having said that you can actually source this paper from amazon:

Some people have been extremely happy with the state of the paper when it arrived (and some not!)

I love this paper it is soft and lights are lifted easily from it.
