crashing sea spray waves in watercolors, debiriley.com

Just waves.

Wild watercolor waves crashing against the beach and rock.

Impressionistic Watercolors

A watercolor painting full ….. of feeling.

And Mood.

windswept, wind whipped, wind sprayed Ocean waves

the Feeling

takes Precedence, over detail, over minutia.

Colors

Blue Paints that I like to use when painting water:

Cobalt Teal Blue pg50

Indigo Blue Daniel Smith mixed blend

Cobalt Blue pb28

Cerulean Blue pb33

Ultramarine Blue pb29

Prussian Blue pb27

Phalo Blue pb15

Indanthrone Blue pb60

Mixing.

For me, I’d rather have more blue paints than any other color.

Because, I can then obtain any green, brown, purple, grey, etc. that I can conceive of…with the minimum of 2-3 other colors.

ie winsor lemon py175 and permanent rose pv19 and a white gouache.

    yes, in a few weeks, I’m looking forward to having at least 4 weeks of summer. the weather here is terrible: cold and raining every day. I’m working on some jewelry for a girlfriend but will post some photos soon. 🙂

I still can’t work out how you create the impression of a seascape with so little detail. Less is definitely more. Brilliant!
