first up , the sepia oil sketch to get everything in the right place

next the sky is done , then the first coat on the water

added more detail to the island , mountains , trees on the left , then got stuck into the water

another layer on the water , then on to the sand

more work on the sand , still a long way to go though

changed the waves at the front a little ( one more coat to go ) , finished the trees / island ( hard to see in this picture though ) and started the boat while the sand dries enough to do the next coat on that

here's a detail shot of the first coat on the canoe / boat thing , another coat or two on that then its on to the sand , which is going to take atleast another couple layers plus detail
