Stunning painting but sooooooooooooooo not my thing

[petercooman]

Again, thanks all!

Appreciate that; it really works

I paint the bases using only 4 colours (mind you, some names will have changed but you can find them in the paint compatability chart)
So here are the 4 steps:

1: basecoat the base in enchanted blue
2: wash with thraka green wash, make sure yiou use enough to cover the base
3: medium-heavy drybrush with lightning blue
4: light drybrush with white on he edges of the waves (foaming)

The green wash makes the water look more real. It's rare that deep wather has a natural blue tone,So the green wash makes it look more real to me. You can change the blue paints if you want, just make sure you have a dark green wah to obtain this effect!

I think the green is now Biel-Tan Green

Correct, and enchanted blue became Caledor Sky , and lightning blue became Teclis blue.

If anyone can translate these colours into "proper" Vallejo ones, that would help
