- / loisdavidsonart www.etsy.com/u... Today's demo is a simple loose watercolour seascape painting of waves crashing and breaking on rocks, inspired by a photo from Pixabay: pixabay.com/ph... My main focus was on painting most of the wave negatively by painting round it, then adding subtle shading near the end.
Materials: Millford 100% cotton cold pressed paper, 11" x 15"/28cm x 38cm, various brushes, see video, but use whatever brushes you prefer. I used a limited palette of Cotman watercolour tube paints in yellow ochre, indigo and paynes grey, but use whatever colours and brushes you prefer if you feel like trying this tutorial.
My board is at an angle of about 45-60 degrees.
Many thanks to my lovely Patrons for your support!
I love your paintings. I watch them over and over again. I save them to watch when I get ready to paint them. I am a beginner/ intermediate in a watercolor class.
I’m glad to have found your channel because you do such a great job of explaining things without making it sound overly complicated. Can’t wait to watch more.
stunning, I love watching your skillful brush strokes, and use of colour, its such a pleasure to see.
I am so impressed with this tutorial! You are a very generous woman to share your talent and developed skill with us as a benefit to our skill building. Thank you so much. I'm so appreciative.
Wonderfully fresh painting!
Love this, so helpful and so kind of you to offer it to all of us!
Hi Lois, what a coincidence l sould find this today. Yesterday l was sat at our beach watching waves crashing on the rocks and taking umpteen photos. I have been thinking how l could best portray them in a painting. Thank you for this great tutorial which has inspired me. I love loose painting. Thanks again Alioban x
This wonderful. Such movement
I absolutely love this. My favorite demo. Crashing waves are so hard to capture. You make it so easy. I absolutely love your simple color combo! I also enjoy working with negative space. Excellent!
Thanks so much Rosalie!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge Louis. Watching this video was as exciting as a thriller.I hadn't seen any of your videos before, so I was very excited to see how you would handle the wave and the water splashes. You did a masterful job of painting it off the cuff. Hats off to you.

This turned out so beautiful, Lois! Great brush techniques and effects with water and diffusion of colour, texture and the "scrubbing". The rock are amazing! I love it! :D
Thanks so much!
Wow!!!! Thank you so much for this tutorial
Thank you so much!
magical- really inspiring me to get back into my art. I hope I can capture that "spirit" again-TY for sharing.
I am useless at painting this kind of picture...waves crashing . You make it seem easy, I think I might have another go ! Thank you for this.
Beautiful - really great texture and movement 👏👍😁
Excellent painting. It is encouraging me to no end to start painting.
As a frustrated “ water” watercolor painter this was brilliant! Wow you made it look like anyone could do that! Hmmmm, doubt that. So ....I subscribed! Thank you for sharing you work. ClaudiaSJI
Wow, I enjoyed a success today. Your mastery of water control, colour, soft and hard edge control AND
last but not least a great ability to describe the process both in words and practise (a great teacher) made this so good. Thank you.
Very well explained absolutely beautiful painting..thank you very much !
Great demo…..beautiful painting!
Loved this one Lois. Super demo with lots of inspiration. Limited colour palette is great to use. I'm lucky to live by the sea, and yesterday l took a photo so like this painting. I want to paint the image in my photo, and use the tips you have given in your demo. I usually use oil or acrylic, but l want to try watercolour for a change. Many thanks Alioban xx
Thank you Lois for this great tutorial. Your explanation of the process was really clear. This painting is beautiful.
Nice ,very nice
Thank you so much for an excellent tutorial. You’re a fantastic teacher.
Just love your style and also your great demos of using all the popular brushes, such a help. Yours are the one lessons I try out asap, and I learn so much from each one and, uniquely, I’m always pleased with the results. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful talents in painting and teaching. 🥰

Thank you!
This is simply lovely!
I loved this! I feel more confident about painting waves! I used some white gouache at the end to add some extra splash and contrast in some areas. It worked well.
Fantastic!
Thank you so much!
Awesome!

Gracias por compartir. Saludos desde Cantabria. 🇪🇸
Thank you 😊
Esplendido!
Great painting. The only thing missing - sound effects!
Thank you!
Im always so mystified, how do you not get green by mixing indigo with various yellows? This is so lovely!
I only use brown type yellows (raw sienna or sometines yellow ochre) in this sort of painting, unless you make an effort and really scrub the paint together, they don't readily make green
Interesting photo. What size of paper did you use?
Details are in the description below the video 😊
Lovely result Lois, mine would have started with a green effect on sky and water. How did you get your blues and yellow to stay separate?
I think yellow ochre and raw sienna are more brown than true yellows so don’t make green when applied as I did
Than you Lois I am going to practice with those same colours later. I love how rich indigo looks too.
It looks amazing! What size of paper is this?
Thanks, info on size etc is in the description below the video
ОЧЕНЬ КРАСИВО👋👋💐РИСУЮ С ВАМИ💓🖌️💓🎨💓🖼️💓👍👍👍СПАСИБО!!! 🥀
Thanks so much 😊💐
👍 👍 👍 🌷
😊💐💐💐
I often paint small. I worry about working quickly enough to keep the paper wet as needed.
I find it easier to work large, and with cotton paper it should stay wet for long enough if you work quickly and loosely!
@@LoisDavidsonArt Thanks for the tip!
John hoar said"sometimes you have to take your courage in your hands,splash away and hope for the best"
So true!
I used masking tape to hold the paper down and when taking it off, it took off the paper with it and ruined my painting. BTW...I love this video.
Podrían poner subtitulos en español?
Lovely painting. Thanks for the video. (I wrote you on Insta concerning being a Patreon :-)
An inspiring demo! Thank you!
Beautiful
Thanks so much 😊💕
Fantastic! Like magic! Thank you!
