How To Paint Water ?

Step 1:
Paint Water

Simple way how to paint water…based on my experiences.

• I used three layers as usual in my painting.

• Begin with third layer (layer 3) for draw or sketch what we want to paint.
• Look the perspective and an area for paint water.
• Sketch equal shape against down to water area.
  

** Why must start from third layer for sketch or drawing?

Just as a guideline for us while painting.

Step 2:

Go to first layer (layer 1) and color all part of the background painting.

• Use oil brush and color in vertical stroke shape for water area.
• The colors that we applied for the sky, cloud, trees, grasses etc.must be equal in the water for looks its reflection.

Step 3:Complete all background colors

Complete all background colors...sky, cloud, land, trees, grasses, water etc.
Bright colors for expose light area and dark colors for shade area.

Step 4: Blend Colors with knife

Using flat knife, wipe and blend down (vertical) all part of water area .

Step 5: Shape Water

Paint all part of water area.
Using soft palette knife, and blend horizontal line, cross an area we have colored.

Step 6:Detail work for background

Step 7 : Detail work foreground painting
