Hints and Tips for Painting Waves in watercolor

It's done!
Ready to ship!
What is it?
My second DVD on painting waves.
See the You Tube trailer on the top right >>>>>>

Hint's and Tips for Painting Waves in Watercolor

There simply wasn't enough space in the first DVD to say and show everything I want to share, so I put together another DVD workshop with more tips and practice exercises to show more options for painting the parts of a wave. This new DVD is 1 hour and 38 minutes. It is quite different from the first wave DVD called Making Waves.

Hints and tips for Painting Waves in Watercolor is an informative fun filled video workshop using basic watercolor techniques and the easy to follow practice exercises for learning how to paint each part of a wave. I will demonstrate how to use three different brushes and several brush stroke techniques so you can find a method to that works best for you and your style of painting. I will also share some of my special tricks and special effects to help you reserve and recover whites as you paint frothy foam and splashing sea spray.

For those of you who would like to have a printed version of the practice exercises I demonstrate during the DVD workshop Hint's and Tips for Painting Waves, there is a companion workbook available. (Sold separately) This loose leaf 33 page workbook is designed to be used along with the DVD or can be used as a stand alone resource.

Another Wave...This one is for Vicki

This is my Spring SWAP painting for my partner Vicki Greene.

Sharing With Artist Partners is a wonderful spin-off group of artists from my Watercolor Workshop group. Both are international groups with artists members from around the world. We exchange paintings each quarter (4 times a year) and this is our 25th SWAP. Our paintings are all 5" x 7 " watercolors.

I'm still waiting for my SWAP painting and wondering where it will be coming from???

It's almost like Christmas .... very exciting and a lot of fun!

Happy Painitng Everyone!

Announcing my new DVD! Making Waves

Hip Hip Hooray! My new DVD is finally here and scheduled for release on March 1, 2010! I'm excited to get this one to you. Some of you may remember my wave studies I posted in a previous blog post and after several requests I've been working on this video workshop on how to paint a wave. I'm happy with the final version and ready to share it with you all.
The Making Waves DVD covers my process for painting wave #297 from my photo references as I show you step-by-step how to paint this wave. I'm including the reference photo and a painting pattern with the DVD along with a copy of my painted wave. The running time is 1 hour and 40 minutes which covers the entire painting process plus a few Bonus Tips on adding some finishing touches to your waves.
As with anything new and different it wasn't without it's little quirks. The biggest hurdle we had to jump was "too much of a good thing"....yes.... I talked too much! (Go ahead laugh!)
I had so many tips, tricks and techniques to share that we ended up cutting out a bunch of good footage....enough to make a second video........so........I'm pleased to say I'll be launching a follow up video called Hints and Tips for Painting Ocean Waves as soon as we can get it pulled together.
