Watercolour Painting Tutorial "Stormy day"

🎬 How to Paint a Dramatic Stormy Sea in Watercolour | Step-by-Step Tutorial Welcome to all watercolour lovers! In this video, we will dive into the atmosphere of the marine elements and create a picturesque, minimalist seascape featuring sailboats on the horizon beneath a voluminous, stormy sky. This tutorial is perfect for both practicing artists and beginners who want to master the "wet-on-wet" technique, learn how to control paper moisture, and capture soft light transitions in the clouds. 🎨 What You Will Learn in This Lesson: The Magic of Wet-on-Wet Skies: How to paint massive, stormy clouds in a single pass while leaving delicate patches of clear blue sky. Volume and Atmosphere: Techniques for creating "breathing" clouds using soft edges and timely lifting of pigment. Sea Texture: How to capture fine ripples and wave textures closer to the foreground using a semi-dry brush technique. Bringing the Scene to Life: How to insert elegant sailboat silhouettes in just a few precise strokes to establish scale and add a sense of journey to the narrative. 🛠️ Materials Used in This Video: Paper: 100% cotton, 300 gsm (140 lb), Cold Press texture. Paints (Watercolour): Lake Blue, Cobalt Blue, Celestial Blue (or Royal Blue), Indigo, Quinacridone Rose, Naple Yellow and a touch of English Red or Sepia to mute the blues in the darkest parts of the storm clouds. Brushes: A large flat wash brush (for wetting the paper), a soft round brush with a fine point (squirrel, calligraphy brush, or high-quality synthetic blend) for the sky and sea, and a fine liner or detail brush for the sailboats. Extras: Working board, masking tape, and paper towels (essential for controlling brush moisture). 💬 Join the Discussion!
