Sparkly Shoreline: Watercolor Tutorial

[@Nianiani]

Hi guys! I've been getting comments from some people having trouble for the glazing. I think the problem might be, if you're using a synthetic brush, the glazing has to be done very gently because the bristles are more rough. So you can try it on a small section first before glazing the whole painting to check. Or you can glaze only the negative spaces to avoid ruining your hard work. If you have a soft brush I'd definitely recommend to use it for the glazing step. My apologies for not mentioning it in the video as I didn't realise. I hope your painting goes well! Happy painting everyone! ❤️

[@kathleen7849]

A lot of what makes it work is choosing and blending the right colours. Thank you for all the wonderful tutorials.

[@Nianiani]

Once you're comfortable with colour mixing you can also create your own colours. I've seen many versions from people tagging me, with different tones of blues and they look great :D:D

It actually amazed me that by having that sea ripple effect can be achieved by forming squiggly puzzle pieces. Very amazing! 🤷🏽‍♀️😍👌🏽

[@Nianiani]

yea! Didn't realise before either when I was trying to develop it. It didn't work out before since I was only doing one layer but as I added more it became a ripple effect :D
