I opened a photo I had taken down the beach. I started to clone in some more of the blurred green as it seemed to be an interesting part of the photo. I then took another part of a different photo that was in focus. I duplicated the layer and started to do different blurs. I then started to clone, erase, blur and smudge in the bottom part getting the colours to blend. I got some more from a different photo and worked that into the background between the blurring of the focus layers. I used the brush and tried different affects until the background sunk further. I then merged the layers and tried different colours. I picked the yellows to come out more. I also added reds and purples on different layers blending it in. I also added a bright blue to make the dome stand out and to make it look like something out of this world; perhaps building of some kind. I then tried different star trek shuttles in different positions changing their colours to fit in with the background.
I then painted it on two of them. And stretched the final canvas with help from Anna.

I painted acrylic last week on this canvas I used a photo as reference. The black lighting is a green spotlight. I mixed up colours to use on the canvas. I then painted on top of the canvas. Making the colours brighter and darker
