Inspiration for this cool giant rock-cliff came from Pismo Beach at the Best Western Shelter Cove. Pastry tips were used to form many of these paint sculptures then dropped in a gritty texture paste for the cliff mound. 

Abstract glass looking sea butterflies span across the water top where transparency in paint has now been discovered. All paint retains flexibility when dry. 

The seafan was the beginnings of yet another formation of templates designed by Ruth Collis for other aspiring artists to learn how to trace with paint, let dry, then transfer to the painting like done here.
