Utilize lighter blues and aquamarines to capture the reflective quality of the water. Blend horizontally to mimic the water's surface.
Layer a variety of vibrant colors like magenta, orange, and blue. Use a rectangular and square brushstroke style to suggest abstract shapes.
Focus on bold contrasts by placing light tones beside darker sections to create depth and interest.
Incorporate thin lines and defined shapes with a finer brush to add texture and structure.
Adjust colors by layering and mixing directly on the canvas for dynamic color interactions.
Step back and review your work. Ensure the balance of colors and composition reflects the energy and style of the original painting.
