For this I really didn't have many landscape photos on my phones so I had to borrow some photos for this one. This picture out of all of them was the best in what I wanted for a landscape. After some simple sketches I did an orange wash on a canvas to start with. I decide to do darker blues for the ocean in order to contrast with the lighter blue of the sky. For most of the areas I did a basic smooth texture for everything to figure out colors. After that I would load my brush with paint and "tapped" the canvas to create texture in the clouds and landscape. I did not do this for everything so I could break up the background and the foreground. If I ever wanted to do something different it would be to do a more detailed work on the mountain areas of the the piece. Another thing would be to change the water colors. Overall, I am happy with how the landscape came out and that the "less is better" concept worked really well.
