2. Class DescriptionHere is a polished class description you can use directly for Skillshare.Class DescriptionIn this short watercolor class, I’ll show you how to paint an impression of sparkling seawater using subtle value shifts, layered color, and masking liquid for crisp highlights.Rather than painting every wave in detail, we’ll focus on the essential elements that make ocean water feel alive: movement, transparency, saturation changes, and the contrast between deep blue-green passages and bright reflected light.This class is ideal for beginners with some watercolor experience as well as intermediate painters who want to loosen up and create more convincing water effects.In the lesson, you’ll learn how to:

simplify the surface of the sea into abstract shapes
use value changes to suggest movement and depth
build rich blue and teal color mixtures
vary saturation for a more natural water effect
apply masking liquid to preserve sparkling highlights
finish a small seawater study in one sitting

This is a quick, practical class designed to help you build confidence with watercolor seascapes and create a study you can complete in one session.By the end of the class, you’ll have your own small painting of shimmering seawater and a simple process you can use again in future seascapes.3. Shorter Class Description VersionIf you want a shorter version for promo copy:Short VersionLearn how to paint sparkling seawater in watercolor with a simple, expressive process. In this short class, you’ll use subtle value shifts, layered blues and teals, and masking liquid highlights to create the impression of moving ocean water in one sitting.4. Project DescriptionThis should be very clear and action-based for Skillshare.Class ProjectFor your class project, paint a small watercolor study of seawater using the process shown in class.Your goal is not to copy every shape exactly, but to create a convincing impression of moving ocean water using:

soft value transitions
varied blue-green mixtures
changes in color saturation
bright highlights preserved with masking liquid

Project steps

Prepare your paper and basic materials.
Apply masking liquid to a few areas where you want sparkling highlights.
Block in the main blue and teal shapes of the water.
Adjust the value shifts to suggest movement and surface texture.
Deepen selected passages with more saturated color.
Remove the masking liquid and add any finishing touches.

What to upload: Please upload:

Your finished seawater study
one in-progress photo, if possible
a few words about what you focused on most: value, color, or sparkle

Keep it simple. This project is designed to be completed in one sitting. A small format works best, so you can focus on observation, color relationships, and expressive marks rather than detail.
