Watercolor Class on Painting Shells On The Beach

In my watercolor painting class last Tuesday, students learned how to paint sandy beaches and seashells the fun and easy way. Letting gravity do the work, by putting color and water down and tilting, was new and exciting. There’s a lot of layering in this watercolor exercise and we use hair dryers to speed the drying.

Removing the masking to show the texture made everyone “ooh” and “ahh.” And lifting the color for the shells was another new experience for many students. It was a day of discovery and amazing results.

How To Paint Sunsets With Watercolor Washes

Here are two versions of a watercolor demonstration on painting sunsets using a series of washes: a fast version for those of you who only want the basics, and an extended (“relaxed”) version for those of you who want to see the whole thing.

In addition to watercolor paint, you’ll also need watercolor paper (I use 300 lb. Arches cold-press) and misket or Pebeo drawing gum.
