Paint a Beach Wave in Pastels - Ocean Wave Demonstration
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.พ. 2025
- This is a time-lapse demonstration using soft pastels to paint a beach wave. I demonstrate how to start with a base of pastel color and then blend it with a brush and isopropyl alcohol for a solid base of color.
Beginning with an alcohol wash technique works well for painting more realistic and translucent waves on the beach.
This is my reference photo.
List of materials:
Various NuPastel firm color sticks, and soft pastels

I hope you enjoy watching this demonstration of painting a beach wave! Please let me know if you liked this video and would like to see more ocean wave demonstrations. Thanks!
I'm going to try the techniques you shared tomorrow at Edisto Beach!
@@jaimeoverland7541 Fantastic! Have fun!
Your soft pastel painting is very beautiful, it makes me feel the freshness of the beaches. Reading the caption, I saw that you used Uart sandpaper, and you also use isopropyl alcohol to watercolor the pastel powder; I never thought of using this alcohol, I always used water or ethyl alcohol. Here in Brazil, sandpaper is extremely expensive, so much so that it is almost inconceivable; I want to use it someday, but I don't know if I'll be that lucky since the current government weighs us down with high taxes. Buying imported material has become something very difficult for artists and our national industry does not offer us professional line products. So, the best way is to go hunting with the cat 🐈 since you don't have a dog 🦮😅😅 I haven't watched your videos for a while, I see that you haven't posted for a long time, TH-cam doesn't notify me of your videos, share them for me whenever you upload some more video. I wish you all the best, God bless you greatly and your whole family 😇🙏

Maravilloso!.
Thank you!
So beautiful! You captured the subtle greens and yellows under the wave and built up the foam very realistically. That I think is hard with soft pastels! Good to know that pastels can be blended out with alcohol. I use 91% Isopropryl in my watercolors, but rarely as it isn't considered archival ... but the effect is so very nice! So very lovely, Rita! You have excellent control of your pastels 🥰
Thank you for sharing your comments about the development of the wave and process of using rubbing alcohol for the underpainting. Love your comments!🥰
@@PastelArtwithRitaGinsberg Warm thoughts and art hug, dear Rita! 🤗
I've never blended with isopropyl alcohol before, I only have 99% will that be ok? It's a fantastic picture & I'm looking forward to doing it. You should be proud 😎
Thank you. Yes I've used 90% isopropyl alcohol also. It just dries a little faster
@@PastelArtwithRitaGinsberg Thank you for getting back to me, I'll be looking into your whole video collection for inspiration & guidance. Many thanks 😎
Sua pintura pastel suave está muito linda, me faz sentir o frescor das praias. Lendo a legenda, vi que você usou um papel lixado Uart, e também usa álcool isopropílico pra aquarelar o pó pastel; nunca imaginei em usar este álcool, sempre usei água ou álcool etílico. Aqui no Brasil o papel lixado é caríssimo, tanto que chega quase a ser inconcebível; tenho vontade de usar algum dia, mas não sei se terei essa sorte já que o atual governo nos pesa com altos impostos. Comprar material importado se tornou algo muito difícil para os artistas e a nossa industria nacional não nós oferece produtos de linha profissional. Então, o jeito é caçar com o gato🐈 já que não tem o cão 🦮😅😅 Fazia tempo que não assistia seus vídeos, vejo que passou muito tempo sem postar, o TH-cam não me notifica de seus vídeos, compartilha pra mim sempre que subir mais algum vídeo. Desejo tudo de bom pra você, Deus te abençoe grandemente e toda sua família 😇🙏
This is so beautiful. What kind of paper did you use?
It's Uart sanded paper. 500 or 600 grade. I don't remember for sure
Not bad grandma
why the heck would you grid a seascape, and you call yourself an artist i supppose
