Seascape Basics in Watercolor

Painting, Scrubbing (Toothbrush) and Scraping (Rocks)

Seascape Basics for Watercolor

Painting water works so well with watercolor. Use your favorite blues and greens to wash on color, step by step, to build a beautiful seascape.

The video shows how to mask and spatter for realistic waves, but you could always paint around the wave and spatter with white at the end for those sparkling drops around the edges.

Rocks are done by scraping. This takes a little practice but will give even beginners realistic rocks.

Trace the outline page onto your watercolor paper and follow along step by step with video and/or written instructions for a watercolor seascape.

Also, Learn how to paint the best far away sea gulls, along with the best place to put them.

Hi, I'm Deb Watson.

My story is simple. I loved creating art from childhood, but was discouraged from pursuing art by my parents. So, I became a nurse, but kept painting.

I knew nothing about art, but taught myself over time and became a very successful artist, with hundreds of awards. Although my art and how to paint techniques are well known (in over a dozen books and online), I'm just a down to earth person.

I've always enjoyed teaching others how to paint with watercolor - sharing the joy!

Join me in your own personal journey into painting. My online lessons and zoom classes will teach you how to see and paint like an artist. No matter what your favorite subject is, you'll find it here - or email me your suggestions and I'll include a class in the future.

Happy Painting.
