This seascape course teaches how to paint a breaking wave in soft pastels. Whether you are a beginner or experienced artist in pastels, this course will guide you through every process of drawing and painting a wave. Each lesson provides clarity on how to mount pastel paper to an adhesive board, how to choose your color palette, and how to use a simple grid method to draw the shapes and placement of the wave. Soft pastels can be diluted with water or rubbing alcohol to create a rich base of translucent colors when using an underpainting technique. This course will teach you how to select your colors for the underpainting and apply the wash. Then, by understanding the anatomy of a wave, you will learn how to paint seawater, seafoam, and water reflections in the wave.
