It was now time to extend the range of color used on the painting. On the rocks, reinforcing the linearity, lines of dark and light earth green, and earth brown were added.
A less pale turquoise was added to the edges of the central block, filling in the various tidal pools in the rock outcrops. A small amount of dark ultramarine and the darkest turquoise were added to the sea in the background. This was applied in relatively short lines parallel to the horizon, and getting closer together with distance.
