Seascape studies in acrylic

Sea study 4, acrylic 6" x 4.5"

I wanted to figure out how to paint the sea with only a palette knife. So, I split a canvas into four squares and did a small study in each. I could feel my strokes getting gradually more confident and the result less muddled. I'm still very far from where I want to get, but I feel I have some control over the paint and the knife. And also having fun.

 Another attempt with a pallet knife, though I couldn't figure out how to do the water in that technique.
