Hello Artists!! There is so much content out there about painting water, but I couldn't find anything that offered lots of simple tips. So I gathered what I thought were some simple yet important tips on painting water and created this concise and easy to follow video. Enjoy and let me know if lessons like this are helpful! Happy Painting!
Your tutorials like this are so incredibly helpful Susan. You’re such a good teacher and your tutorials are so informative. I’ve learnt so much from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us x
I'm so happy to find someone who can explain the techniques in an understanding way. You are such an incredible instructor. I have learned so much from watching your vedios, I'm a beginner at pastels
I'm not a beginner by any means but I have never gotten the hang of landscapes (edit: I guess I should say seascapes!). These studies seem like a great way to ease myself into it. Thank you for the wealth of information that you continue to share!
This is fantastic! enjoyed watching it fully loved the beautiful different technique and colour combination! Absolutely stunning and gorgeous sharing! Thank you showing your unique technique with us! Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you, I really love the tip about the wet sand! I'm curious if you've done a full review of the 500 series charcoal paper? I really like unsanded papers and am curious about how many layers it holds and how it compares to other unsanded papers. Have a blessed day!🙌💕🧁
Hi Susan I'm glad to attend the lesson after so long, i have another hectic week to come. I hope you r doing great, i wish everyone my best wishes. I loved the lesson today nd even downloaded for offline reference. It was great. Love to see you more soon.💕 Anish
Hi, thanks for the variety. I think it may help me with watercolour though I’d like to get into pastels. As a beginner any new info gratefully received! Thanks. Look forward to further videos.
Susan, VERY HELPFUL TIPS! Really Appreciate The Time You Took Preparing Each Of These Examples! I Couldn't Ask For A More Efficient Instructor. Thank You!
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent and tips I am just learning so everything you're sharing I'm soaking up like a sponge. Bless you. Oh I thought you might like to know where I'm watching from, Australia xx
Your teaching is so intetesting. Unfortunately the text lines cover the work you do. However l think l picked up enough to go try out the tips. Thank you for sharing them 💕
Water is my Kryptonite lol. So I appreciate any tips I can get. I can do oceans ok.. but I have a very hard time getting fresh water color down.. I try not to make it look blue because often times freshwater is more of a dark green or almost brownish but that makes it tough to stand out from the landscape sometimes! I have quite the time with that
Love these. I will be using these this wknd. I Painted a river today with pastels. the foilage is nice ... but i couldnt really get the water to look like water
Thank you Susan Starting a new anything can be a challenge. However when a person has the desire to create art you make it seem possible. I mostly feel as though I will never get out of the “ Crayon “zone. Your video lessons makes me feel like jumping into the deep end of the pool and going for it !!! Thank you for sharing. It’s a true gift !
Thank you so much for these wonderful tips! They are an invaluable aid to me 😊. Also, I love your little furry friend 🐶I have one that is half French bulldog and half Staffordshire bully. Her name is Lala and she is as sweet as pie 💕
OMG Susan! I haven’t even watched the video yet but i see that you have a boston terrier👍One is snoring just across from me… I am going to watch your demo on the big screen later …..
Oh yes Isabel... I love my little Jackson!!! He is literally my best friend!!! Bostons are amazing. A friend gifted mine to me after I went through a battle with cancer. Best gift ever!!!
This was sooo helpful! I am new to your channel and new to pastels. I love your very clear instructions as it gives me some things to try on a small scale that seem doable. I also love that you share your love of Jesus. It warms my heart.🥰. Thank you!
Bless you! I appreciate that so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson. If you're wanting to learn some more, check out my Patreon page! patreon.com/SusanJenkins Thanks so much for your sweet comment!
There is so much I've learned just from watching you! Thank you ! This really means a lot to me! This is good information and maybe I won't be stumbling so much. Beautiful work!! ❤️
So interesting - thank you so much. I can't believe what beautiful little pictures you create in a few minutes just as teaching tools.... I'm envious of your talent!
This video is criminally underrated. Can't overstate the amount of expertise you exhibit and wisdom you share on this subject matter. Thank you so much!
I started practicing on tiny surfaces to kind of get used to painting again. I started copying some of your paintings; even twice some. At the beginning I was not happy with the results; now I feel more confident and even please with what I have been doing. I felt in love with underpainting. Still a long way to go; but I am getting there. Thank you so much.
I'm going to the beach soon, and I am really exciting to try painting with my pastels there, but I have never painted water before! this is such a helpful video, thank you!
I generally use acrylics , taken it up after retirement. But your tips are equally applicable to acrylics . I know for certain as i had figured out some of them after much trial and error . Most informative video i have watched
I actually study physics and I agree with you on that reflection theorie. I think the process of studying an object and then painting it gives you a great feeling on how the world works. You are a great example😄. this tutorial is in my list to watch it later .
Many people think that painting with soft pastels is "drawing" because it's a dry medium. But what makes work like mine considered a "painting" is the fact that large blocks of color are laid down to cover the surface rather than linear mark making (like a sketch or drawing). Hope that helps.

This is excellent tuition! Thank you!!!!!
You're very welcome!
As a beginner I can’t thank you enough for how useful your teachings are…. Great teaching, 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
What is that blending tool at minute 22:33? I wish you had showed a closeup.
That was a shammy cloth (the kind used to dry cars). I find a little piece is a great blending tool for smooth surfaces. :)
Wow! So much information in one video! Thank you!
Yay!!! So glad it was helpful Sabine!
Another awesome tutorial 😊 Are the pastels, soft pastels?
Thank you so much, @patriclop2pl! I'm so glad you liked it! And yes, the pastels I use are soft pastels.
WOW!! What a very helpful lesson. I’m new to your channel. Just found you today. Definitely subscribed.?
Didn’t mean to put a question mark at the end of my previous comment
Yay! So glad you’ve become part of the family Betty!
So interesting - thank you so much. I can't believe what beautiful little pictures you create in a few minutes just as teaching tools.... I'm envious of your talent!
Wow! Didn't know there were so many ways to indicate water!! Thank you for breaking it all down.
So helpful!

I am so happy to hear that! Sounds like you have a persistent spirit, and that’s what you need to become an artist. Keep it up, sweetheart!

I generally use acrylics , taken it up after retirement. But your tips are equally applicable to acrylics . I know for certain as i had figured out some of them after much trial and error .
Most informative video i have watched
Love you comment, Chandana! I often say that my lessons work for multiple mediums. Many of the principles are the same. Blessings and thanks!
I actually study physics and I agree with you on that reflection theorie. I think the process of studying an object and then painting it gives you a great feeling on how the world works. You are a great example😄. this tutorial is in my list to watch it later .
Thank you so much! Your comment truly blessed me.
Meu Deus!! Quantas idéias maravilhosas para soft pastels! Estou encantada.
Thank you so much for these very useful and wonderful tips. It is a pleasure to watch you create magic on paper. Thanks again.
Thank you so much!
Formidable cours sur les reflets très clair comme toujours merci 🙏
Really really useful! Thank you Susan!
Best lessons I've seen. Thank you. I'm working in acrylic but I can use many of these tips.
Wonderful! yes, many of the same principles apply with acrylics as well!
Isn't it drawing? There is no paint
Many people think that painting with soft pastels is "drawing" because it's a dry medium. But what makes work like mine considered a "painting" is the fact that large blocks of color are laid down to cover the surface rather than linear mark making (like a sketch or drawing). Hope that helps.
Wow! Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Wow! I need to listen to this one 3 times.
This was great! Your tips were so detailed. Made me see the light. Looks easy to me. I saved it and will watch a few more times. Thanks
Glad it was helpful! That's what I love to hear Raye!
