David, I use Walnut Oil (can purchase small bottles or by a 32 oz can by M. Graham online).  Sometimes I block in with water.  It took me a little while to get used to Holbein but now I really love the way they work.  I thinned this background down using quite a bit of walnut oil and it didn't diminish the color or effect the layers on top.  Let me know how it goes...

Hi Linda. I really like green color also like everyone else has been talking about. I just recently started using the Holbein water soluble oils and trying to get used to them. Do you use their mediums as well?

So subtle, love your colours :)

Tammy, I used Phythalo Blue, Yellow Ochre, and Burnt Sienna.  When I took the picture I had trouble getting the correct color to show up.  I used both my brand new camera and my older one.  The turquoise tone was looking more blue.  So I had to put my painting next to my computer and adjust the color with my software to obtain a good match.  I was recently in Hawaii and had the same problem with the turquoise color of the ocean not being right.

I like the different angle you have taken on the boat.  The green colour you have used is beautiful - how did you get that?

Lovely color choices and the soft brush marks of the reflection is very appealing.  :-)

This is beautiful. I love your interpretation. It also has a more mysterious feeling to it. Nice work!
