Watercolor Beach Wave Lesson | Easy Ocean Watercolor | Easy Waves Cindy's Art

[@jessie260]

I'm so delighted with the beauty of your art! Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us. I'm a beginner in watercolor painting, I started during this pandemic as a way to ease my mind. I've always been into arts, I like to sing, dance, play guitar and now I paint. I know there's a lot inside of me that I need to bring out through painting. I'm passionate about the beauty of creation around us and I just need to express what I see in my own way. I need lessons, so I'm committed to follow you. Thank you Cindy!

[@CindyWatercolorArt]

Jessie, I LOVE your journey and skills! I so appreciate your story, sharing and I cannot wait to see what you paint! It's a journey for all of us. My videos are changing a lot lately. I'm hoping to share some more lessons in depth and it's because of people like you who give me feedback and encouragement that keeps me going!!!!! many blessings to you! I'm looking at more beginning videos too. Which colors to buy at first and why? How to set up a palette. Basic tools you can use (without spending a fortune). Any ideas you have, let me know. Let me know where you are at, what you are doing and I'll get more feedback from you on what might help. (That will help others too.) Thank you.

Using a white crayon for the wax resist is such a stroke of brilliance!

[@CindyWatercolorArt]

I still use it!! Let me know what you think!

[@tinaplay4363]

Die Idee mit dem Wachs ist klar aber darauf muss man erstmal kommen!!Und ich dachte erst es wäre Resin.Spitze🎉

[@CindyWatercolorArt]

Ja, du hast recht! Wenn ich das benutze, gehe ich ein paar Mal über die Linien, damit es gut blockiert. Danke für Ihre Rückmeldung. Spitzenharz, davon habe ich noch nie gehört!

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

Oh my goodness, THANK YOU. The crayon thing may change my life forever ;)

[@CindyWatercolorArt]

Wow, so glad you like it. Let me know how it goes!

[@annenglish2935]

I'm a beginner - few weeks in... just kept playing with my favorite colors like in your ocean... then I tried it for myself. After it dried I used white straight from tube to make waves... kept retouching the white, since it wasn't gouache. My first try doesn't look like yours😄 but it was a great feeling!!! I loved watching you create and using Crayon... I heard you can use wax... but that popped! Loved how you made sand!!! God bless you for sharing your gift with all of us... Thank You from a grateful California gramma 😄🌴🌺

[@CindyWatercolorArt]

Using white straight from the tube works!!! So that is a great idea and job. God bless you as well! I cannot wait to hear more and see what you are up to.

[@suev1520]

Amazing…so therapeutic watching this ..I have been painting for decades but always overwork my art..this encouraged me to relax and take my time..your clean finish and precise white work was the key for me..my thanks xxxx 💞💞💞💞

[@CindyWatercolorArt]

I have overworked as well. Water for some reason is easier just to relax and get those blues dropped in and then finish it off with white. Thanks so much for your feedback!

[@Ash-hl2mr]

You’re a genius with that white crayon. I wish I knew about that technique before I bought masking fluid. I loved the way you did the painting. This was very helpful.

[@CindyWatercolorArt]

You can always try the crayon anyway. Crayons are cheap. Save the masking fluid for other times and just have some fun playing. Thank you so much for your comment and taking the time to give me feedback. I’d love to see your work.

By using crayon : doesn’t it resist the white foam gauche too?

[@CindyWatercolorArt]

@@cristinakrause4506 Logically I'd say you are right. However this was when I was starting out and would not have thought of that. I've used gouache many times, I can't think of one time it was repeled. Probably because it's more like acrylic paint. Also check out PH Martin white. A small jar that is what I use now when I need white gouache. It's the best.

@@CindyWatercolorArtThank you very much for your help, I am a beginner in watercolor and I love this technique, for me it is the most subtle and fresh of the other pictorial arts, it fascinates me and I am dumbfounded when I see artists like you paint and I learn when I look at you. .. I have a lot to learn, I have made a picture with a rose and practical what time allows me. The sea is very difficult to paint for me and is the subject that I like the most. I will learn from you, there are few people who master painting landscapes of the sea, waves, etc. You do it very well.

[@salykuriyakose6349]

I love this painting

[@CindyWatercolorArt]

Thank you so much.

[@Kitten9011]

I love it! I’ve painted something similar last night using masking fluid. I found it made the whole process more complicated than if I did it without the masking fluid and the effect is not as “natural looking”. I do remove the masking fluid after applying it. I know some people don’t. Anyway , I’ve tried loving it but ... have to try the pencil and order Guache :).

[@CindyWatercolorArt]

If I use the masking fluid, I always paint a little faint blue and grey in there to shade the white. Then I use the gouache, OR a gel pen. I found a gel pen recently that really helped me with the fine lines. Personally I love using the crayon. It's a great easy base, then I just add extra white in at the end.

[@Voahangy24]

WoW ! Stunning !!! It is still so hard for me

[@CindyWatercolorArt]

It takes time. Be patient. Work on smaller projects when you’re working to try and master something. I may try to do a real time video just showing how to do the water and the foam. Thanks so much for your comment and encouragement.

[@annenglish2935]

When I first saw an ocean painting I noticed the beautiful greens and blues... I wet some paper and randomly used strips of paints... I love these colors so I was enjoying what I saw. When dry, I applied white from the tube to resemble waves. I'm a beginner - few weeks old and never did any art - til now at near 69! Then I play with colors on scratch paper ... just to see the shades. Done poppy

[@phili3678]

This is the most realistic watercolor beach I've found on KZbin! Struggling to get the white wash looking realistic. Do you water down the gouache at all? I find it too thick to spread nicely with a dry brush, with a little bit of water I find my blues seem to lift and mix with the gouache but my yellow sand doesnt.

[@CindyWatercolorArt]

The white wash I get it. I scrub it in a little so it looks foamy. I use a fine liner brush (a rigger) to do the fine line details. Yes I water the gouache a little. Regarding the blues... you may try wetting your paper really well. Let it dry almost completely. Do another lighter coat, then do the paint. Why? To get the blues deep down in the paper. Let it soak in. I'll let that dry really well again. THEN work on the white color. When adding another layer of paint in color, different to what's already there, I'll do an initial painting on that, then let it dry and do it again. If I keep adding water and paint to what's there, the water will cause the bleeding a little more. Another tip.... staining paint. Some paints are non-staining... they lift up easily with a little water. Staining paints are resistant to this... but be careful using them. They can look harsh. Thanks for stopping by and for your feedback and comments!

I do not know what the process would be for doing this on the car. I would talk with someone at a car shop to see what process they would need to use to do that. I would also recommend googling it or searching on it and KZbin to see who does that type of work out there. Blessings!

@@MelitaBintoro Let me think about this and I'll do a video on this specifically. You have great legit questions and I'm sure if you and I can move through this together... others are going to be able to do this. I want to dissect this a bit.

[@CindyWatercolorArt]

First I drew the waterline with a pencil. Then I used the crayon and sketched in the water line with the white crayon. I went over that a few times too. I do three times if I want to preserve the white paper area. I do 1 - 2 times if I want to have some fading present. I just finished another wave using the crayon and am doing the voiceover for that. That should be up by this Saturday. Let me know how it works out for you!

[@AmieB2005]

Did you at any point use a more pigmented, dryer brush while doing the white foam on the waves? I was thinking that in order to get the pigment to "stipple" like that, the brush had to be dryer, more pigmented?? I don't know. I've seen some OK results on KZbin, but yours is by far the best.

[@AmieB2005]

Nevermind. I just answered my own question. I totally missed the caption at 6:42 where you wrote it. So I guess my question is now, what brush technique did you use? Did you angle the brush? It looks like it.

[@CindyWatercolorArt]

Redbird That’s where you can try dry brushing. So your brush is drier and you do have paint on it ... you want to take the side of the brush and scratch out gently rub it on the paper. It winds up releasing some of the paint but not all of it. The texture of the paper will actually grab some of the paint but not all of it. So it has a different type of effect. I’ll see if I can do a video where I slow that down and show this up close. Let me know your thoughts.

[@rabiincredibleartcraft9344]

[@CindyWatercolorArt]

[@thatbearlife]

That was wonderful, thank you so much! When you use gouache, do you consider your paining mixed media, or is gouache considered a watercolour?

[@CindyWatercolorArt]

Technically I would think it would be called a mixed media. If it’s only tiny bit of gouache then I would probably call a watercolor. And I’ve been able to work in watercolor now without using gouache.

[@sherryblack8403]

[@sqrrlsh]

May i ask? In wet on wet watercolour technique,,if the water on paper dried should i add more water? But if i did that the paper will curled up more and more and lastly it become overwet...what should i do? Your reply is my honour

[@CindyWatercolorArt]

What brand of paper are you using and what is the weight? For example, 140# cold pressed watercolor paper by Arches is my paper. Depending the brand and weight, you could add just a little water and the paper will buckle. Others, it will hold the water better. Sometimes mine buckles a little because I add a lot... I will spray the back of the painting with a little water and then put it in between two heavy books to flatten it again. Another thing I do is, add a little water, let that soak down into the paper. Let the dry a little and it's not shiny at all. Then I'll add a little bit more, which activates the area I want to paint. Then I'll dab the color on. My brush won't be super wet either... I'll try to do a video on this so you have something to look at too. But let me know what paper you are using. Thank you for your question. Ask anything. If I don't know it, I'll refer you to someone who does. Blessings!
