How to paint photorealistic waves - Trailer

[@meredith7236]

Brilliant and adorable kitten

[@PaintingSkies1]

Yes, she is adorable. A lot bigger too, by now.

[@Armafly]

Great job! By the way, the little cat will be a great soccer player.

[@PaintingSkies1]

Thanks! The little cat has gotten a bit bigger and completely lost her interest in soccer. Such a shame. She was a natural indeed…

[@michaell31]

Glad to see your new companion. Cats and dogs add so much to our lives.

[@PaintingSkies1]

I agree. They do. She sometimes sits on my knee and just watches me paint. Never had a cat who did that...

[@DeborahDupre]

I appreciated beyond measure this important tutorial and each learning opportunity that you generously give. Your gentle teaching manner is as beautiful as your art, both genuine treasures. Thank you, Mr. Dolsma.

[@PaintingSkies1]

Thank you for the double compliment. Really pleased to hear you enjoy both my paintings and my teaching style!

[@PaintingSkies1]

Thanks, Allen!

[@conscience-commenter]

Hi Jan , I enjoy your work tremendously . As a fellow artist, the spatter technique used at 3:12 can also be achieved by using a medium bristle toothbrush with thinned paint for a more controlled splatter pattern. I was painting a pair of molded New York City library lion bookends to match the original granite and marble .The bases are a white granite with blue flecking with the occasional mirrored silver flecking . I layered the bases in all the colors of the granite then overlaid a random splatter technique in blue that worked very well. The mirrored silver flecking was achieved with glitter paint that I dotted with a very thin brush randomly. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.

[@PaintingSkies1]

Good to hear you enjoy my work! Thanks for sharing your experience with the splatter technique. What you describe reminds me of the old house painters techniques, like marbling or wood imitations. Very effective.

[@robertolopez-garcia]

I just enjoy it.

[@PaintingSkies1]

That's just great, Roberto. Thanks.

[@MarkSmith-dx4nq]

Fantastic! I got very excited when I saw this pop up on my feed, and it didn’t disappoint! Great painting, cool to see one with the focus on a single wave
