clapotis

Even though I know it's pronounced "clap-oh-tee" (it's French) I still want to call it clap-pah-tiss. I am a hick, obviously.
This is my practice clapotis. I want to make one out of something expensive, but first I need to know I'm doing the techniques correctly. So this is Lion Brand Babysoft acrylic. The picture makes it look blue, but it's really more of a mint green.
