Here is a picture of what I have done so far. In this picture I have started to paint some of the coral and fish.

My daughters ocean scene

Here is my latest project. I am painting a mural of an ocean scene in my daughters room. On the top is the sky, and there will be a couple of dolphins jumping out of the ocean. The bottom will have a lot of tropical fish and coral with a dolphin swimming up close in the center.

Here is the finished product.

One of the last steps in creating fire is to add some highlights. To do this I used white and just a couple of drops of Chrome Yellow to create a pale yellow.

In this picture I have added another layer of fire using chrome yellow and then Pagan Gold candy over it. The Pagan Gold is the color that really makes it look like it's glowing.

The next step is to add orange and red candy to give the background fire a red-ish orange color.

I have started to add some detail by using stencils to give the fire some direction.
