Backgrounds Design.

Experimenting with a technique shown to us my John Gosler! 

Simply using the lasso tool to create shapes, need to work on the clouds & adding further texture... but I am very fond of the effect & would definitely work in this way. Also need to work out to create a more water style appearance...

The image is based on Patagonia, Argentina from my Pinterest.
