My first attempt at drawing a seascape.
The problems are obvious:
- Since I can’t draw with white I must find a way to lift the foam out of the background color. This attempt doesn’t look right.
- The color of the beach is off.
- The color of the sea isn’t right.
- The shape of the waves aren’t right.
Oh lucky me. I would hate it if the drawing was a success on my first attempt. 
Sea 1
At the edge of a wave you find a lot of foam that becomes thicker when your eyes move towards the shore. I tried to create that effect by pulling the blue pigment onto the white paper with a white blending pencil. It didn’t work very well and you can hardly see it in the scan.
Even so it’s something I think should work. Something to work on in my next study.
