Tried not to copy exactly the photo but feels like it fail. Also tried some different color combination for the background.
Patterns on jeans just need to be the right color and its of to not really define them.

Learning how to paint waves. The color changes in wave is rich and depends on the different sky color and depth of the sea. Splashes can be done with brush settings scatters but still need quite some amount to control to give it the wave effect.
