This is the most comprehensive video I’ve seen on painting waves in watercolor. Even if the end result isn’t exactly what you would like it came out nice and is a great base to work with to understand the structure of waves. Thank you Emma!

Emma what a great tutorial I’m trying to practice ocean/lake waterscapes. This was so helpful for the more relaxed waves. Every time I watch one of your videos I come away with a new nugget of watercolor knowledge! I love that you’re not afraid to share with us that you are sometimes learning new things along with us. Also I really enjoyed the music you chose to go along with your painting. Ok now I’m off to practice painting waves 😊

Thanks for excellent tutorial with lots of tips and guidance. Very difficult to teach and create at the same time. Your final picture looks like the Ionian sea nearby, it's lovely 💦 oh for a swim

Thank you so much for tackling this daunting subject - water and waves. I had no idea how to approach it, and now I have a few clues. I think your waves are recognizable and beautiful, your tutorial will allow me to give it a try! I appreciate you.

Ty, Emma. I’ve wanted to learn this technique for a while now. These waves look awesome! I think those who try to teach you, as you are teaching, should get their own channel.

I enjoyed this video. It reminds me of being in the boat on the Saginaw Bay. You can see the wave action for miles and miles

Hullo Emma, I had to chuckle when I read the comment about “wasting paint” ! I believe watercolor painting is the least wasteful medium there is. You use a medium that has been dried up and re-constituted. You use such a small amount of pigment when you put it down on the paper and most of that washes out to spread across the surface! I believe that you have made a wonderful wave painting exercise! I often say if you are having trouble with small details, work bigger! Start your painting on a larger surface/paper! You are going to paint everything bigger even the “small” details will be large! Thank you for sharing this lovely painting exercise with us. Please take care and enjoy your day!

Thank you for your tutorials. I know how much time it must take to put these together. I really enjoy your paintings. I just started to try watercolor and you've been so helpful. Going to get your book. Love your little helpers too. I might get brave and have my grandkids paint with me. First I need to practice more!

This is crazy amazing! So much more realistic than how I would have ended up with it myself. I love the beach, so this was fun to watch for something different from you even though I always love your flower tutorials, too. I'm so impressed. Like, how does she know how to do this? Even though watercolor is obviously your thing! 🤣

If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything. This refers to the comment saying it's too contrived. You do you!!!:

Some versions of Prussian blue include phthalo blue which stains & makes lifting difficult. Manganese or cerulean blue with a bit of ultramarine might be easier to work with for waves. Your process is pretty sweet though. I've been trying to figure out how Zorn did waves and this looks very close.

I enjoyed this video tutorial! The negative comments are unwarranted and for the “too contrived comment” perhaps they should send their work in to you as you are often showing others work. I would love to see their realistic work….

I like to use two brushes in cases like this so I don’t have to wash the paint out of the first brush and waste so much paint.

If you want more realism, waves can't be seen all the way to the horizon, and the ones in the front have whitecaps, but I like your abstract take!
