How to Paint Ocean Waves in Watercolors

    Soap

    • 1). Dip brush into blue paint, and then move it around on a bar of soap. (See Reference 1)

    • 2). Paint on paper using wavy patterns. The soap will create a wavy streak effect on the paper.

    • 3). Repeat the process using another shade of blue and create more wavy patterns on the paper.

    Newspaper

    • 1). Mask the water color paper with newspaper randomly placing were the ocean waves will crest and create white foam. (See Reference 2)

    • 2). Paint an ocean color over the newspaper with a wash such as blues or greens over the randomly placed piece of paper and let dry. Use a variety of washes by applying colors side by side and letting them bleed into each other. Let dry.

    • 3). Remove the newspaper.

    Sea Sponge

    • 1). Using a sea sponge dipped in a liquid mask, sponge on paper where the waves will crest. This will keep the area white as paint is applied over the mask. Let dry. (See Reference 3)

    • 2). Apply various shades of blue-green color to the paper by painting side to side and then dragging the paint brush down to create a flow-down effect.

    • 3). Add dark blue paint under the mask to outline the foam and add shadows. Let dry and then wipe away the liquid mask.
