Janette gave us a wonderful sketch that easily could be a CAS card. I started by brayering in the "sea and the sand" and then added washes of thinned white acrylic paint and lots of dots.

This is BRILLIANT, Sallie!! Love the softness, of the wash on the water, and the rough textured look of the sand! AND Your watercolored seashells are just perfect!! Hugs!!

You get effects I have never, ever seen before! The texture makes the sand and water look so real! Wow, this is amazing and right into favorites. I can't get over how smooth your brayering is and no lines!

Sallie, this is stunning. Love the colors you achieved and I especially love the white acrylic dots you added. While some may look at this as standing on the shore seeing the white foam, I look at it from the ocean floor and seeing little bubble rising to the surface. I love this :-)
