Cure reef keeps getting better and better. Today I added some coral to the background reef. I don’t think I will add any more detail to the back reef. I feel if I put too much in the distance it will take away from the foreground. The way I see it, your focus should be on the main object, not on the background. I like to think of the depth of field in my paintings in the same way as you would with the aperture on a camera. I have also started on a few fish and a turtle. Notice that yellow is a dominate color now. I paint yellow first since I will eventually need several layers to keep it from looking green with the blue background. Enjoy!
