Paint your version of this coastal scene using the skills and tips we discuss.
Try to keep your painting small to have time to keep working on sections before they dry too quickly.

Remember to use only two colours: Ultramarine Blue and Burnt Sienna. If you have no Burnt Sienna, you can try using a Burnt Umber instead, that makes nice colour mixes as well.

Supplies I am using:

140lb, cold-pressed watercolour paper, approximately 4 x 5 inches
2 watercolours from humbeckstudios.ca
no. 6 round Princeton Heritage watercolour brush
mixing palette for paint puddles
washi tape
size 8 white Gelly Roll pen
water
Cloth to clean brushes

Take a photo of your finished shore line watercolour painting, and upload your photo to the project gallery to share your work. I'd love to see what you make!

To find the project gallery, go to the 'Projects and Resources' tab under the video lessons and look for the button to 'Submit Project'.

Have you ever been to Nova Scotia before? Let me know in your class project notes! How did the mixing on the page work for you? Did you choose to add texture?

Don't forget to check out projects from other students while you're there! If you see work you enjoy, let them know by leaving a comment on their project. Everyone likes encouragement! :)

Can't wait to see your project!! Thank you for painting with me! If you have specific areas you'd like feedback on, let me know in your project notes. I do my best to be encouraging, kind and gentle while reviewing projects. We are often our own worst critic, so I like to point out what I like about each student's work. Fresh eyes, as they say!
