Learn watercolor seascapes with a step by step approach that covers colors, sketchbook exercises, reflections, and two final projects: a yellow board sailing through a clear sea and a seascape.
Let's have a look at the materials you'll need
Understanding the kind of colors which works best for painting water.
Learn to draw a symmetrical boat and its mirror reflection in water, using a center line and shading to create realistic seascape reflections, with cabins and flags.
Learn to paint rippled seascapes with watercolor by building a gradient wash, dark at the bottom and lighter toward the top, layering to create ripples and a soft horizon.
Learn to paint a realistic deep blue sea using gradient washes, greenish blue and indigo ripples, and reflections to build depth, then add white highlights and flying boats for realism.
Learn to fix paper firmly, sketch a board and its reflection, and build a seascape with layered blues, controlled water, and subtle blending for a luminous horizon.
Learn to paint seascape reflections and water texture by building the board’s reflection with color layering, zigzag lines, and darker tones, then add final touches and encouragement to persevere.
Sketch a symmetrical port and island, then build the seascape with layered turquoise greens, add lines to suggest water movement, and blend shadows to create depth.
Learn to paint a yellow board sailing through a tropical seascape in watercolor. Use masking, layering of vibrant yellows, blues, and greens, and add fine lines and reflections.
Practice and patience build improvement in watercolor techniques and exercises from this class, and share your progress on Instagram.
Water is one of the most fascinating subjects to paint. If you follow the right steps it is the easiest to paint.
My class will take you through various exercises which will make it easy to understand the water and its characteristics. We will get to know the colors, how to draw a boat and also learn about reflections. Then we will progress to 2 practise projects and finally to our main class projects.
