I added some cobalt teal to the foreground, left it to dry, then painted over with some thin Prussian blue.

As this is a paint color that's quite transparent when thin, it's a good glazing color. You can see (Photo 14) how it knocks back the excess foam I'd painted in the foreground without hiding it completely.
