I wanted to create an Italian feeling and mood with terracotta colors so I used a glow and muted yellow colors.
I also created the ripple effect in the water.

I have used a number of background papers over each other from the artplay palette using various layer blending modes,
also I used a number of brushes to provide additional colors in the water.
In this artplay palette there are some beautiful transfer that provided textures and shadows.
I duplicated some of the transfer to get an stronger impression.
