Sail Away with Me

As I live on a sail boat, the ocean is a huge inspiration. I try to capture the movement of the water and the way it reflects the light. The translucency of watercolour is ideal for this, and frequent use of granulating colours allows me to show the subtleties in the ocean's shades.
