To introduce more colour and blend the rock and wood, I sponged greens and yellows to represent lichen and foliage. I then mixed several washes from acrylic ink and applied them in many light passes to deepen the shadows and blend the colour transitions.

I wanted to include seaweed exposed by the low tide. After searching for the right material, I found a product sold as “fake moss” for florists. I used super‑glue to fix small lumps at the high‑tide line, then covered them in ballast glue. The weight of the ballast glue made the seaweed hang convincingly, but after 24 hours next to a dehumidifier it’s still wet, preventing me from moving on to the resin pour.
