    WOW Nicola--This is by far the best video I've seen on painting a crashing wave--and I've watched a ton of them. It looks so real and your instructions are simple and easy to follow. I am going to practice, practice, practice this one for sure. You're the best! Thanks so much. ⛱

    Oh, my goodness. The timing to find this video. I did a quick night moonlit ocean wave practice last night and found a few techniques to worth it and wrote in ink sections that are to be done in the order that's needed. Your techniques I'll have work on today. I really like how this piece turned out for you. The flat edge brush for the curve of the wavy and then softening it, I can do that. As for the waves, I'll have to draw them out lightly and use acrylic white in some areas. I've noticed over the years though that not that many watercolorists will tackle a moonlit night ocean and waves crashing on rocks. I'm about to do that in the next few weeks. I have loads of practice ahead of me and I've been studying as many videos as I can gather and photos, of course. Thank you for posting this. I think you just helped me save my painting.

    Im Just a beginner and starting to figure out watercolor, should i buy a mini set of Winson and Newton? Or do you think with starting a palet kind of thing of aquarels is good enough, because that is easier, i really need advise❤

    • @gitikaasiwal6746
      @gitikaasiwal6746 6 років тому +1

      Marit de Bruin if you are a beginner I would suggest you start with limited colour palette, you will understand the colour mixing in a better way and as the need be keep building it, like buy more colours as you need.
      Windsor and Newton pocket box is also a good option as the colour selection is very good in it and you can create a great range of colours and it's very affordable. Hope this helps.
