This project was created strictly from imagination. Ergo, it was time consuming and challenging. With no goal in sight, there was a lot of staring, contemplating, and revising involved. I used the water color brush quite a bit, which made for slow saving. But I liked the effect, and rasterization results were poor. I also used the blur and ocean ripple effects, along with a grain effect for the sand. I used the flare tool for the sun. My regret is that I wasn't able to colorize it. I might have done better to use a gradient mesh on a yellow sphere.
