如何畫水——逼真的海灘場景波浪畫教程

Hey, welcome back. In today's video, we're gonna paint, as I said before, the lower part of this painting here, the seascape. So these are the colors that we're gonna use. As you can see, just five of them. And after quickly mixing the colors, we start to apply the second layer. See the brushes here that I use? Very soft ones. And I start in the background here, with some glazing action, as you can see. And then I pretty much start to build up those waves. And it seems a bit off now here, this greenish color. But seawater is very often, I think in most of the cases, has a greenish touch to it. And those cloud mountains here, no, those water mountains, those wave mountains here. When they get thinner, light goes through, and then you see that they have a very greenish touch to them. This is something that you need to put in to make it realistic. And here now we build up those reflections from the sunlight. This is basically the first layer that I put in. And I realized it wasn't enough, so I went back and mixed a bit of a thicker color for this process here. In a detail shot, and went over the whole piece again. And basically you need to mix down the color with your linseed oil or water. So that you basically achieve the effect of this glazing. Not everywhere, but in a lot of places where you need the color to be thicker. You need the color to switch more to the whitish one that we have here. You need to use a bit of a thicker color. And you also need to follow the line of the water. Make sure that you don't go crazy in all kinds of directions. You need to make sure that the water, the reflection part here, basically follows the shape of the water here. Here now we build up the white water part of this wave. And it's a very bluish color, as you can see. Very rough. And then I mix a light color. And start to build up the reflections, the sunlight that hits this part of the wave here. As you can see I'm using a very small brush. And I'm also carefully applying the color. I'm trying to mimic those different parts where the sunlight is reflected stronger and not so strong. And this is something that you need to make sure that you toy around with these reflections here. Same goes for the reflection that we have on the water here itself. And it's always, how can I put it, toying around. As you can see the water appears a bit more greenish in the back. And we have lots of color variations. We have not a pure white color that I apply here now, for example. And this part here of the painting, the reflection is stronger. And so I put in the color a bit thicker. But I don't do it on the whole painting. As you can see I'm toying around. And this effect is achieved very easy by grabbing some flesh color. And when you want to put in the light, stronger reflection. Then you use this fresh amount of color on your brush. And when the color gets less on your brush. Then you start to work on those parts where you want to have some thinner layer of this color. It's a very easy way of toying around with the amount of color that you have on your brush. And this really makes life much easier. Than trying to apply the color straight on. Here I'm building up the next wave parts. Using again smaller brushes. To get on all those fine details here. And here I'm adding some more sunlight going through the top part of the wave. And this really helps to make this thing look even more realistic. I know that this color is still wet. But I'm putting those greenish, yellowish colors on. And here again you see me brushing on these reflections from the sunlight. And they really need to be different by each wave. So don't repeat yourself over and over again. Just make sure that you give the whole thing another shape. Nature is very rarely repeating itself. So it's something that you need to put in when it comes to painting realistic. And not just waves but anything more or less. Therefore it's a good idea to follow, especially at the beginning. Your reference material as close as possible. Because then you learn the most of it. Later on you can basically use this experience that you build up here. And start to play around. And start also saving some time. For not having to repeat all the same structures that you see on your reference material. So I build up the whole thing. Basically extending the whole process here from the right to the left side. Adding some really small details as you can see. Very tiny reflections. And I think these are really vital for this whole piece. Same goes for the white water part in the front. And here also on the tip. Follow the shape of the water. Don't go crazy and put it as you think. Really have a look at your photo that you use for the reference. And mimic these impressions that you have here. And you see I'm playing around with the color. I'm putting in darker spots and lighter spots. And bigger spots, smaller spots. Doing some underpainting. Dry brush underpainting for the white water part here. I'm using a bigger brush and a smaller brush. And again lots of color variations. And here now I'm building up the thinnest part of the water. The shoreline and the beach. Very important part here. The shadow beneath the front line of the wave. It's a wave.It's a very thin wave. But to make it look realistic you need to put in those darker colors on the front. So that it gets volume. And again you have to put in millions or at least thousands of white water foam parts. Everywhere. This actually took me I think the most time. This part here. I'm playing around with the color and giving it shape and shadow. And this really starts to come together. When you leave the time to really go a bit crazy. For those fine little details that you later on. I mean you don't have to put it in this way. But I like to put it in really realistic. And therefore I go a bit crazy all the time. But I think it really helps to make it look even more realistic. That's now the finished painting. And I'm pretty happy how it came out. So that's it for today.
