He added water to a lot of the paint throughout his painting. This created the colors to blend together in a blotchy technique. I think this added nicely to the painting because it went along with the water in the background and the whole idea of this man being a sharpshooter.

3 layered background

sky

water

sand

-he separation of the different parts and the blending of the colors with the extra water in the painted allowed the man to POP more in the painting.
