I'm back after a day off to hob nob with my brother, have lunch and shoot down each others 1/144 scale WWI aircraft! The moment of truth has arrived and I began my first Acrylic Paint Ocean Diorama - admittedly nervous I dove in. Since this is the deep Atlantic I used only Black, Blue and White. Here goes...
Black pretty much takes over even at a three to one ratio of Blue over Black. It is the addition of White that draws the Blue out.
Mostly a stippling process of the black and blue with white highlights added on ridges and along the hulls where the water is breaking or in the wakes of the two ships.
I cover everything including the edges.
The ocean is ominously dark. I hope when I start the clear gloss acrylic that the surface will come alive. Right now as she dries, it does not look too bad for my first effort.
