Sea Water and Rocks - oil painting stages WIP

This composite photograph shows three stages of a painting featuring rocks on a sandy beach and where they meet the sea water.
The first panel shows a rough sketch drawn in brown acrylic paint on an orange ground wash. In the second panel basic under-painting, using acrylics, has been added which acts as a guide to the following layer. These colours are usually a bit darker than the intended final colours and there is a lack of detail at this stage. The final panel shows the finish painting. At this stage the painting is done in oil paint with all of the details added. The painting is 20" x 16" and is done on paper.
