I added a boat and a few birds. If you add a boat don't forget to add a little whitewater to the rear and sides of your boat. Then I reduced the picture to about 84%.

 


 
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. It is the first in a series that will be produced by Acadie's Art and myself..Don't be afraid to experiment and play until you are happy (Undo is a great feature that real life painting does not have).
