Yes…It takes just the first try and you then get confidence. Just remember…use your medium to its fullest…let the foam fill in the space…then cut away what you need and then add the plaster thinly so your weight stays down.

I’m glad I could be of some help…

After seeing this , I had to join the community today . Sir , this is Incredible work ! You really captured the colors of the sea.

Thanks Flounder…it takes an eye to see depth and then to try to translate that into a surface. Dark blue green in trough bottoms and lighter as you reach the wave crest…then some extra added color here and there for detail. Water is hard stuff to model…again… thanks for the fine comments.

From the other side…each side is different based upon the action of the hull against the water and the pitch and rise of the hull.
