First, I masked off the wave. then I masked off a straight line for 
the horizon. I airbrushed in clouds with fluorescent blue just on edges. 
Then sprayed in Flamingo pink over the left side and fluorescent yellow over 
the right side. 
Next I reversed the horizon mask and airbrushed a dark line with 
opaque blue for the water horizon edge. Next lines were airbrushed across 
the nails for the ripples or small waves. Floursecent yellow was sprayed 
over this to reflect the yellow sky. 
Next was the wave. Using my Medea master shield, I masked off the 
front edge of the wave and airbrushed opaque blue for the left side of the 
wave. I added black into the brush to add shading under the curl and at the 
bottom of the wave. I repositioned the master shied and sprayed fluorescent 
blue for the right side of the wave. I used a cloud stencil and sprayed 
white for the wave's foam. I then took my San Francisco nail tiny detail 
brush and dotted more white into the foam area and into the clouds in the 
sky. With the same brush and fluorescent blue, I gently stroked up into the 
foam from the bottom. then I added a white edge to the top of the wave and 
mixed ultamarine blue and black to add detail in the waves shaded area. 
to the left side I added a tropical plant leaf. Using a stencils and 
dark green with black on the edges. I mixed dark green and black and added 
stems in the leaves. Last was adding the sea birds silhouette in the sky 
with a stencil and black.
