Step 10
Drag in the sea picture. Using a basic brush paint some boats on the water. Don’t go into detail because it's a very small area.![step-010[3] step-010[3]](https://cdn.photoshoptutorials.ws/wp-content/uploads/migrated-images/ad2143290bbc_133F2/step-0103.png?strip=all&lossy=1&quality=64&w=1920&ssl=1)
