In this video on how to paint realistic water with watercolor, I go through the whole process from start to finish, in easy to follow steps. Learn how to create an horizon, alongside authentic looking ripples and waves. All are ideal for adding a dolphin, seal, or even a boat to your finished painting. I hope you find the tutorial helpful.

Fun painting. Something I've been doing more of lately is wetting the backside of the paper as well as the front when doing washes. It allows more time to paint and it keeps the paper from warping so much. Happy painting!

@TheDevonArtist Жыл бұрын

That's a great idea, I will test that one out at some point. Thank you.

@@TheDevonArtist Cool. You don't really need to tape it down either. Just stick it to a smooth surface. Have fun :)
