Angela Fehr Watercolour | How to Paint Water in Watercolor: Turbulent Ocean Waves @angelfehr | Uploaded December 2018 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
In this video lesson, I'm sharing the secrets to successfully painting water in watercolour. Focusing on the value patterns in the reference photo can help keep you from getting lost in the shapes and colours and simplifies the task.

Supplies & reference photo linked below.

This is actually the key to painting ANY subject in watercolour. By focusing on the light and dark values and their shapes, you can simplify every subject in order to paint it accurately. When this falls apart, it's usually because our mind is reluctant to let go of our preconceptions on what the object "should" look like, and see it for what is actually represented in our reference photo.
