I'm so delighted with the beauty of your art! Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us. I'm a beginner in watercolor painting, I started during this pandemic as a way to ease my mind. I've always been into arts, I like to sing, dance, play guitar and now I paint. I know there's a lot inside of me that I need to bring out through painting. I'm passionate about the beauty of creation around us and I just need to express what I see in my own way. I need lessons, so I'm committed to follow you. Thank you Cindy!
Jessie, I LOVE your journey and skills! I so appreciate your story, sharing and I cannot wait to see what you paint! It's a journey for all of us. My videos are changing a lot lately. I'm hoping to share some more lessons in depth and it's because of people like you who give me feedback and encouragement that keeps me going!!!!! many blessings to you! I'm looking at more beginning videos too. Which colors to buy at first and why? How to set up a palette. Basic tools you can use (without spending a fortune). Any ideas you have, let me know. Let me know where you are at, what you are doing and I'll get more feedback from you on what might help. (That will help others too.) Thank you.
Using a white crayon for the wax resist is such a stroke of brilliance!
I still use it!! Let me know what you think!
Oh my goodness, THANK YOU. The crayon thing may change my life forever ;)
Wow, so glad you like it. Let me know how it goes!
crayon, yes, you genius, thank you!
LOL Let me know how yours turns out!!!
By using crayon : doesn’t it resist the white foam gauche too?
@@cristinakrause4506 Logically I'd say you are right. However this was when I was starting out and would not have thought of that. I've used gouache many times, I can't think of one time it was repeled. Probably because it's more like acrylic paint. Also check out PH Martin white. A small jar that is what I use now when I need white gouache. It's the best.
Lovely incoming tide!
You’re a genius with that white crayon. I wish I knew about that technique before I bought masking fluid. I loved the way you did the painting. This was very helpful.
You can always try the crayon anyway. Crayons are cheap. Save the masking fluid for other times and just have some fun playing. Thank you so much for your comment and taking the time to give me feedback. I’d love to see your work.
I'm a beginner - few weeks in... just kept playing with my favorite colors like in your ocean... then I tried it for myself. After it dried I used white straight from tube to make waves... kept retouching the white, since it wasn't gouache. My first try doesn't look like yours😄 but it was a great feeling!!! I loved watching you create and using Crayon... I heard you can use wax... but that popped! Loved how you made sand!!! God bless you for sharing your gift with all of us... Thank You from a grateful California gramma 😄🌴🌺
Using white straight from the tube works!!! So that is a great idea and job. God bless you as well! I cannot wait to hear more and see what you are up to.
Die Idee mit dem Wachs ist klar aber darauf muss man erstmal kommen!!Und ich dachte erst es wäre Resin.Spitze🎉
Ja, du hast recht! Wenn ich das benutze, gehe ich ein paar Mal über die Linien, damit es gut blockiert. Danke für Ihre Rückmeldung. Spitzenharz, davon habe ich noch nie gehört!
❤️❤️❤️
This is the best “sea foam” tutorial. I have looked at several already and my opinion is that yours is the clearest and easiest to understand. Thank you!
I so appreciate your feedback. It’s a fast video but the feedback has been good so I’m very glad it’s been helpful. Thank you again for your time.
Wow this looks absolutely stunning😍😍😍The trick with the crayon is amazing!!!!
Thanks Kris! I loved using the crayon. It was a test of sorts.
I agree! I'm going to try it out tonight! I've tried the white gouache in a previous wave painting - but it turned blue! I'm not sure how I did that, lol. Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift! Blessings! ;o)
I’m so amazed!
wow... just wow.....
Stunning!
orcamum thank you so much!
Beautiful
Amazing…so therapeutic watching this ..I have been painting for decades but always overwork my art..this encouraged me to relax and take my time..your clean finish and precise white work was the key for me..my thanks xxxx 💞💞💞💞
I have overworked as well. Water for some reason is easier just to relax and get those blues dropped in and then finish it off with white. Thanks so much for your feedback!
i love ties!!!!
Wow. Never would’ve thought of the crayon 🖍. First time watching your channel. Here to stay!
Welcome! Appreciate the feedback. I love the crayon. It works well.
Thank you
Welcome!
That looks amazing!! I was surprised that that much detail was on such a small piece of paper
Hey Random Human, thanks for the comment. The paper helps with texture too.

That’s awesome. I’d love to hear how it turns out.
This is art ! WoW
Thank you SO much. I had a heart attack about the time you wrote. So sorry for the late response. I appreciate your feedback.
Thank you so much for the great lesson. I just started watercolour painting recently and have been using some tutorial videos but this is absolutely the best. I'll try other videos of yours too and keep practising. Thank you 😊
I picked it back up after 25 years! Let me know how you are doing on your journey or any video ideas you have for me to do!
Thanks ! Such beauty ! After seeing the video...I start to fall in love with sea waves....will try it. Thanks again for such beautiful work !

Beauuuuuuuutiful!
The Creative Souls wow. Thank you!!!!!!
I have been watching many art tutorials lately, because i'm doing an Art Challenge - Drawing for 30 days. THIS ONE is definetely the best one i have watched and i am going to try it now! thank you so much for posting this, i hope that one day i will draw like you
You are so sweet. Thank you for your comments. Let me know how it turns out. I love it that you’re doing a 30 days. I need to do one. LOL. Blessings.
Great tutorial! I'm gonna try!
I'd love to see how it comes out! Thanks Sabrina!
Very realistic .. love it, thank you
Thank you Patricia
Wow absolutely beautiful
Thank you so much. Blessings!
Beautiful 👍
Thank you so much for your feedback.
Beautiful and I have made this .... this came out so beautiful.... thanks for this lesson
Wow. So glad it came out well! Thank you for your feedback.
Thank you for this informative and concise video. Lovely painting ❤
I love this! It's so easily explained here. I always mess up at the foam part and often end up mixing the blues too much. This helped me know how to draw a realistic painting this easily with the right techniques. Thank you! 💛
You're so welcome! I get it. The blues.... have wet paper, dot the colors on, let them blend in themselves. Let that dry really, really good before doing more layers, or details. Keep me posted on your stuff. I'd love to see your work!
@@CindyWatercolorArt I made that painting and it turned out to be GREAT! It looked very realistic and I love the results. Thanks to your techniques :)!
Thank you so much.It was fantastic!!!!
I’m so glad it worked for you. I’d love to see what you did. I’m on instagram, Facebook and Pinterest.
Brilliant, just started with watercolour painting and trying to learn how to do this. Great video. 👍
That’s awesome. Thank you so much for sharing and I hope you enjoy my channel. I appreciate the feedback on the videos to.
BEAUTIFUL! Well done Mss. Cindy
Rosa Ravelo wow thank you! I appreciate the feedback! Blessings!
Your painting is amazing ! I just found your channel and I am a beginner and so excited to try this.Thanks so much for sharing your talent !
So good to meet you. I have a lot of videos I am bringing out right now that are easy ones for beginners and show a lot of different techniques just to let watercolor kind of paint itself. Keep in touch. I’d love to see your work.
Wonderful👍
Thank you Julie.

THANK YOU @MsNha Art.
Excellent. I’m giving it a go. I struggle with water and beach scenes so much, but this looks doable. I don’t have crayons but I do have a white oil pastel.
To me experimentation is very important. So I love that you’re going to try that. Let me know how it goes.
@@CindyWatercolorArt I'll post it to my IG account and tag you
Its soo pretty 🤩
Wow. Thanks for the feedback!
So damn beautiful!! Can't wait to try it already
Thank you so much for your feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed it and that you’re going to try it. I’m on Facebook and Instagram, I’d love to see what you do.
Instead of gouache, I used Dr Ph Martin's Pen White Ink on a fine brush. Looks awesome!! Thank you for this video!!
I use different gel pens too. Thanks for the recommendation!
Very beautiful, I enjoyed watching you paint.
Thank you so much 😀 Sorry for the delay in responding. I actually thought I had. I'll check your channel out too.
@@CindyWatercolorArt no problem and I don't have anything on youtube. Maybe one day!
Nice 👌 work
Thank you Rabi!
Do you think I could paint this same effect on a car to create an art car using spray paint? And white paint with a sponge for a white foam effect? My husband lacks confidence in me but I feel like I might be able to tackle it 😁
I do not know what the process would be for doing this on the car. I would talk with someone at a car shop to see what process they would need to use to do that. I would also recommend googling it or searching on it and TH-cam to see who does that type of work out there. Blessings!
I love it! I’ve painted something similar last night using masking fluid. I found it made the whole process more complicated than if I did it without the masking fluid and the effect is not as “natural looking”. I do remove the masking fluid after applying it. I know some people don’t. Anyway , I’ve tried loving it but ... have to try the pencil and order Guache :).
If I use the masking fluid, I always paint a little faint blue and grey in there to shade the white. Then I use the gouache, OR a gel pen. I found a gel pen recently that really helped me with the fine lines. Personally I love using the crayon. It's a great easy base, then I just add extra white in at the end.
Woooooohhhh!!!!! Preciosa acuarela 🥰
Please I want to learn to paint scenes of sea, beaches and you are wonderful painting, it is very difficult to paint the water of the sea and you do it very well, publish more marinas. Thank you very much for sharing, greetings from Spain. 🌷♥️
Rocio Doval Thank you so much for your feedback. Absolutely I will put more of these up. From Spain. Wow. So good to connect. Show me your work if you do anything. I’m happy to help in anyway.
@@CindyWatercolorArtThank you very much for your help, I am a beginner in watercolor and I love this technique, for me it is the most subtle and fresh of the other pictorial arts, it fascinates me and I am dumbfounded when I see artists like you paint and I learn when I look at you. .. I have a lot to learn, I have made a picture with a rose and practical what time allows me. The sea is very difficult to paint for me and is the subject that I like the most. I will learn from you, there are few people who master painting landscapes of the sea, waves, etc. You do it very well.
just kidding it really helped me. Thank you very much and you are an awesome artist. :)
Thanks Amybeth, I'm trying to figure out how to get started on youtube and your encouragement was so great. Blessings!
This is amazing, i can feel the water splashing on my skin XD
I love that! So glad you enjoyed it.
This is absolutely beautiful
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond and comment. So glad to meet you.
wow this is so pretty!!! beautiful beach / seascape
Thank you so much for the feedback!!!
Wooooow 😭💙💙💙
Thanks much!
WoW ! Stunning !!!
It is still so hard for me
It takes time. Be patient. Work on smaller projects when you’re working to try and master something. I may try to do a real time video just showing how to do the water and the foam. Thanks so much for your comment and encouragement.
When I first saw an ocean painting I noticed the beautiful greens and blues... I wet some paper and randomly used strips of paints... I love these colors so I was enjoying what I saw. When dry, I applied white from the tube to resemble waves. I'm a beginner - few weeks old and never did any art - til now at near 69! Then I play with colors on scratch paper ... just to see the shades. Done poppy
This is sooooooo amaziiiing
Thank you so much for your feedback. I really appreciated it.
Upper super tip...the white crayon. Thanks! Subscribing now!! :)
Thanks for the sub! And for the feedback! More tips are coming soon! Let me know how yours turns out!
I was looking for some watercolour lessons during quarantine n this video was perfect 💕
I am so glad!. I’m glad the weather is warmer, I can only sit outside and paint too. I would love to see how yours turned out. I do have my Instagram link below @cindywilliamsmooreartist if you want to show me what you did. I’d love to see it.
@@CindyWatercolorArt I'll try my best 😣
Ooo god!!!!😍😍😍😍😍

Kolet Guyomarch Wow. Thank you so much for your feedback and encouragement. You got to show me your work when you try it. I’m on Instagram. Let me know if you need anything
🙂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love this!! I can't wait to try it. Could you please advise... are you using white ink? What are you using for the white parts of the wave, (other than the blocking done by the white crayon)?
White gouache.... that’s what to use. I’m so glad you enjoyed this! I will check to see if I listed that below too!
It was so good I literally thought it was going to be a clickbait
LOL. No clickbait. Thank you so much for watching it. I appreciate your feedback. Blessings.
Nice
Masjid Kooklan, thanks so much.
This is amazing! I wanna try it, but it will come out terrible for sure! 😭 you're great!
Well if you try it one key thing to do is get good watercolor paper. It makes all the difference. I have practiced and practiced. Seriously I was terrified of watercolors, but I decided to try it and the videos others did helped me. I’m hoping I can help others. If you try it let me know how it goes. Blessings!
@@CindyWatercolorArt thank you!
Merci pour votre vidéo et pour le soutitrer parfois en français
You are welcome!! Thank you!!
That's so wonderful ❤️❤️absolutely loved it 😍my best wishes to you! Stay safe stay connected my friend ❤️
Artist Rashmi Soni at Shiny Colors Thank you so much for your feedback and encouragement! Please do the same!
That was wonderful, thank you so much! When you use gouache, do you consider your paining mixed media, or is gouache considered a watercolour?
Technically I would think it would be called a mixed media. If it’s only tiny bit of gouache then I would probably call a watercolor. And I’ve been able to work in watercolor now without using gouache.
This is the most realistic watercolor beach I've found on TH-cam! Struggling to get the white wash looking realistic. Do you water down the gouache at all? I find it too thick to spread nicely with a dry brush, with a little bit of water I find my blues seem to lift and mix with the gouache but my yellow sand doesnt.
The white wash I get it. I scrub it in a little so it looks foamy. I use a fine liner brush (a rigger) to do the fine line details. Yes I water the gouache a little. Regarding the blues... you may try wetting your paper really well. Let it dry almost completely. Do another lighter coat, then do the paint. Why? To get the blues deep down in the paper. Let it soak in. I'll let that dry really well again. THEN work on the white color. When adding another layer of paint in color, different to what's already there, I'll do an initial painting on that, then let it dry and do it again. If I keep adding water and paint to what's there, the water will cause the bleeding a little more. Another tip.... staining paint. Some paints are non-staining... they lift up easily with a little water. Staining paints are resistant to this... but be careful using them. They can look harsh. Thanks for stopping by and for your feedback and comments!
@@CindyWatercolorArt Thankyou for the very detailed response, I've taken alot of it and im looking forward to giving it another go.
so beautiful and relaxing. i've tried to do a couple ocean wave watercolours but blocking out the pattern of the waves is always the trouble for me. every tutorial i see says its just random shapes and even when i try to be loose or go from a reference photo it really looks sloppy and terrible. i don't know where to buy a white crayon during quarantine haha but i've tried with both gouache and masking fluid -- do you have any tips? all the best from indonesia
I’m gonna give this some thought and see if there’s a way where I could come up with a video that might help you. I wish I could see one of the pictures of what you have done so far so I can get a idea of where you’re at and what it looks like.
@@CindyWatercolorArt thank you!! well for now i'm just a bedroom artist haha i don't post anywhere. but i love oceans in general. what kinds of shapes would you focus on making for the wave pattern?
@@MelitaBintoro Let me think about this and I'll do a video on this specifically. You have great legit questions and I'm sure if you and I can move through this together... others are going to be able to do this. I want to dissect this a bit. I actually do know some of the concepts for waves but they don't apply towards waves hitting a beach. If they're out in the water... then you do smiles and frowns... LOL... they get larger as they are closer to you... smaller as they get farther away.
Did you at any point use a more pigmented, dryer brush while doing the white foam on the waves? I was thinking that in order to get the pigment to "stipple" like that, the brush had to be dryer, more pigmented?? I don't know. I've seen some OK results on TH-cam, but yours is by far the best.
Nevermind. I just answered my own question. I totally missed the caption at 6:42 where you wrote it. So I guess my question is now, what brush technique did you use? Did you angle the brush? It looks like it.
Redbird That’s where you can try dry brushing. So your brush is drier and you do have paint on it ... you want to take the side of the brush and scratch out gently rub it on the paper. It winds up releasing some of the paint but not all of it. The texture of the paper will actually grab some of the paint but not all of it. So it has a different type of effect. I’ll see if I can do a video where I slow that down and show this up close. Let me know your thoughts.
This looks awesome! Is it safe to use natural hair brushes with this technique?
Absolutely. It’s watercolor so it’s not gonna be affected by the paint that you use or the fact that you put a crayon down.
Thank you so much for your answer! 😊
you:can draw every think with water color
me:can’t even draw with a pencil ;-;
Got it. Well I appreciate your honesty and thank you for your comment! On Patreon I'll be loading my drawings so people can use them and then paint. Blessings!
This is soo helpful. Can i use a oil crayon?
I have not use that before. Try it and see how it turns out. Let me know.
Amazing😍😍 can you plz tell again the very first step with the cryon
First I drew the waterline with a pencil. Then I used the crayon and sketched in the water line with the white crayon. I went over that a few times too. I do three times if I want to preserve the white paper area. I do 1 - 2 times if I want to have some fading present. I just finished another wave using the crayon and am doing the voiceover for that. That should be up by this Saturday. Let me know how it works out for you!
May i ask? In wet on wet watercolour technique,,if the water on paper dried should i add more water? But if i did that the paper will curled up more and more and lastly it become overwet...what should i do? Your reply is my honour
What brand of paper are you using and what is the weight? For example, 140# cold pressed watercolor paper by Arches is my paper. Depending the brand and weight, you could add just a little water and the paper will buckle. Others, it will hold the water better. Sometimes mine buckles a little because I add a lot... I will spray the back of the painting with a little water and then put it in between two heavy books to flatten it again. Another thing I do is, add a little water, let that soak down into the paper. Let the dry a little and it's not shiny at all. Then I'll add a little bit more, which activates the area I want to paint. Then I'll dab the color on. My brush won't be super wet either... I'll try to do a video on this so you have something to look at too. But let me know what paper you are using. Thank you for your question. Ask anything. If I don't know it, I'll refer you to someone who does. Blessings!
Hey Can u tell me that we have to do caryon on the whole sea portion......I have confusion in this so I just asked you
Use the crayon in the thicker areas of the foam. You don't have to be exact. Basically you want to do this to protect some of the white you want left for the foam. Using white gouache, you'll add detail in later.
Thanks!
Please tell me the outline from where we have to fill the foam because in the video it is not clear
@@CindyWatercolorArt Thanks for telling me😊
I'm getting a lil impatient with my waves coz it doesn't come out well.. Now i'm frustrated with myself. :''')) maybe i should try again.
If you are an Instagram post up where you are in this picture tag me on it. Tell me what paper you’re using. What brand you are using and show me what products you’re using. I’m on Facebook as well. @CindyWilliamsmooreartist Works on both Instagram and Facebook. Let me know and I’ll help you. I didn’t get this right away. I had to practice and try different things. There’s no shame in that. Sometimes the paper we use can be a bad one and it doesn’t matter what we do it it’s just not gonna come out as good as it would have a good paper. We are all learning. Let me know I’d love to help.
Can I just use acrylic white paint for the foam?
Yes you can try that. You might wanna put some of that on a toothbrush and splatter it onto the water for foam.
Listing all the specific colors you use for each thing-water, sand etc. would be helpful. Thank you for video.
I am trying to improve my videos and agree completely with you!
For this one I'll add it into the description. White Gouache, Horizon Blue, Cerulean Blue, Indigo, Ultramarine Deep for the water. I used a little bit of Neutral in there too. Sand: yellow ochre, permanent orange, Quin scarlet, white... maybe a tiny bit of burnt umber. I use Holbein watercolor paints - use alternatives. Arches watercolor paper, Cold Press (the best I've found personally) and a Crayola crayon (white)! Thanks Michael Bergstrom for your suggestions. I'm open to all that will help me improve!!!
@@CindyWatercolorArt Thank you so much for the names. I'll give it a try. I have different brand paints-Winsor-Newton and Grumbacher mostly. But I will see what corresponds.
What to use if you don’t have a crayon?
Think of items that have "wax". A wax candle. Masking fluid is excellent. The wax gives a soft type of blocking out.
What can we use ascept white gouche ???
You can use white colored watercolor paint. Just don’t add a lot of water to it. It’ll come out nice and thick. Or use a white gel pen.
What kind of paper are you using for this?
HiLisa Chawk, Arches 140# cold pressed.
Hi i really struggle trying to do the water it's just really hard for me any tips??
I’ll respond with some basic tips over the next cpl days... keep me posted on anything else I can answer along the way.
