How to paint all forms of sand with watercolor. Full step by step video which shows you how to paint, water, wet sand, damp sand, and dry sand. Paint sand dunes and grasses is also covered.
My PATREON MEMBERSHIP PAGE: www.patreon.com/user/membersh... - in addition to ad-free content you get exclusive content (new videos will be more in depth than those on my KZfaq channel), hi-resolution reference photos, photos of my finished painting, and drawing outlines where available. Other benefits are also included.
My teaching manual: Mastering Watercolors - A Practical Guide: amzn.to/3ZF2FRW
This full watercolor painting lesson is based on an edited version of one of my regular Zoom classes. It is a long video as I believe you can miss valuable information if I fast forward through some sections.
Topics covered include:
Painting the ocean and waves
Painting wet sand
Painting damp sand
Painting dry sand
Snad dunes
Painting grasses
I also have a second watercolor painting book which is full of step by step demonstrations and is titled: Watercolor Step By Step: amzn.to/3z4YXEu
Both books are available in kindle format and paperback.
You can also find a lot of useful information on my website: www.paintingwithwatercolors.com/

I just discovered your channel. Absolutely brilliant. Your teaching is so clear and easily understood. Your videos are absolutely packed with useful information and i love that you explain why you are doing what you are doing (wet the back of the paper and the board? Genius!). I am amazed at how beautiful this sea painting is. Love the zoom in on detail and why you love watercolor. Your style is just gorgeous, and your teaching is so personable! thank you so much for your generosity providing this for us!

The tufts of grasses look more like the picture if you stop and let it dry now, then when dry apply some LIGHTER dried grasses over the top for depth. And if you need a little guoache to do that it helps, as will a touch of just lavender work.

I know some people that teach the relationship between sky and sea color by addign magenta in the sky. Effectively pushing sky away from green. I think the final relation is somewhat the same of addign green to water. But interesting how our brains accept both approaches.

@JoeCartwright 10 ай бұрын

There are many different way to achieve a similar result with colors. In the end it depends on what is in you palette at the time you want to create a particular effect.
