#36 Waves at the Lighthouse (Watercolor Seascape Tutorial)

In my classes, we work out similar effects with students. Usually, it is much easier to do wet on wet. But this, of course, takes a lot of time and requires a good feeling of paper moisture balance. This time I present you a quick sketch on dry paper, where a similar effect is made using the dry brush technique.

WOW! I've been in love with lighthouses and stormy seas since I was a young child! This reminds me of my favourite 1989 Jean Guichard photo of a huge wave crashing around 'La Jument' lighthouse in Britainy. I just found you and subcribed the second I saw this. As a new watercolour student I thank you for sharing your wonderful art with us. 💓

[@KeithGShafer]

Awesome work, Michael! May I ask what type of palette are your using in this video? I like the wide wells and six pans.

[@watercoloronlinemsolovyev]

Hi Keith, Thank you! We working on that palette last 6 month :) This is Eco-Palette, Bamboo + Metal. More information you can find here: www.eco-palette.com I can say I using it last two month every day and just love it...

[@KeithGShafer]

Thanks Michael. The palette in this video looks bigger than the eco-palette so I thought it might be a studio palette. I’m planning on ordering the eco-palette when orders open as I want to use it in my travels this summer. Thanks again.

[@watercoloronlinemsolovyev]

@@KeithGShafer Ah!! Yes. Sorry. That was big one ))) I did it myself. Plywood, wood and varnish for protection. Yes, you are right - it's my big studio palette, 25 x 42 cm.
