Watercolor Impressions: Crashing Waves

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.
