Watercolor Seascapes: Painting Water & Reflections with the Foundational Techniques

Chris this is stunning beautiful details on the boat and fantastic shadowing beneath the boat... love it:)

:) Thank you so much, Christine! I absolutely loved this class. 

Hi Christine! I loved the second version :) I can see you used the techniques more successfully in your second painting. Especially your boat is very improved. I hope it makes you happy every time you look at it :)

Hi again! Your comment just made my day - wasn't sure if the second attempt was better or not, but I will trust your judgment! :) It does make me happy every time I look at it - thank you so much!!

Christine, this is beautiful. Well done.

Hello Christine, this is so good! I can hear the sound of waves :) You captured the depth very well. The hue of the water base and the color tones and sizes of the waves are very accurate. You used all four techniques successfully in your painting. And the play of light and shadow on the water is amazing. Love it! Your boat is just wow! I like textures on it. You used dry on dry technique very successfully. Congratulations! And I really appreciate if you give a review about class. The feedback I receive from you is very valuable to me. :)

Thank you  so much for your feedback! I enjoyed this class and learned so much! I plan on painting the boat again in a larger size (as well as the swan). I will definitely leave a lovely review for you - thanks again!

So peaceful Christine, I can hear the water lapping up against the dock. Love your display with the sunglasses :):)

Aww! Thank you, Diana! I was a bit intimidated by those waves, but we never learn unless we try.

I love this, your water is perfect and your boat is awesome:) Beautiful!! This is on my list to do, but I haven't made it that far yet:)

Thanks so much, Laura!! I hope you’ll give it a go - and SkillShare is so addictive, I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to paint everything on my to do list, so I know what you mean! Haha

You are so right Christine. Skillshare is very addictive.  I have a list a mile long and more classes keep coming out:)

My favorite topic. Your boat is absolutely beautiful, the water is perfect. Great !!!

Awww, thank you - a bit challenging, but very fun! I didn’t know this was your favorite topic! I hope to do more seascapes this year for sure.

I really enjoyed this lesson and decided I'd like to have a larger version of this painting. So, I just finished a 12 x 16" version and already have it matted and framed. Thanks, Zuleyha, for such a fabulous lesson!
