Seascape Painting: Declaring it Finished

Seascape Painting Step by Step Demonstration

Seascape Painting

Remember that 'rule' about a painting being finished when you think you're only 90 per cent done? Well, that's what I did here. As soon as I found myself fiddling with small bits, I stopped. I resisted the urge to 'just quickly' fix bits.

Instead I declared it finished, for now, then turned it to the wall for a while. When I next looked at it, I liked it the just the way it was. A seascape for staring out towards the horizon.
