    I did this one because I wanted to try and get reasonably realistic water,and yet keep it loose, so I decided to use gouache so the swirls and sweeps of the brush would add movement.

    I googled this one - this pic was one of the surfing champions from Oz - Laurie Towner from Angourie. If you go to advanced image search and look for large images you will find plenty if you just look for surfers,surf, surf-boarding, waves, anything you can think of. Good Luck in your search and I look forward to seeing the results.

    Thanks Ric - but messing as you call it is an essential part of the learning curve, and is never a waste of time, it is by experimentation that you will find a method or combination that will transform some of your pics.
