How to Paint a Breaking Wave in Soft Pastels
This seascape course teaches how to paint a breaking wave in soft pastels. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced artist in pastels, this course will guide you through every process of drawing and painting a wave. Each lesson provides clarity on how to mount pastel paper to an adhesive board, how to choose your color palette, and how to use a simple grid method to draw the shapes and placement of the wave. This course is ideal for beginners and does not require detailed drawing.
Soft pastels can be diluted with water or rubbing alcohol to create a rich base of translucent colors when using an underpainting technique. This course will teach you how to select the colors for the underpainting and how to apply the wash. Then, by understanding the anatomy of a wave, you will learn how to paint seawater, seafoam, and water reflections in the wave. Some blending tools and brushes are needed for the alcohol underpainting process technique.
This course provides guided steps for each lesson. Students will be able to apply their knowledge to painting ocean waves and seascapes. Students will become more confident as they apply the same methods and techniques to painting other wave paintings.
