I have attempted painting waves a few times, with limited success. 

I recently bought the Don Demers DVD on "Marine Painting: The Art of the Wave".  

This is the painting that he and I did...together. LOL.

He was on my computer and I was in the studio. 

Now I get it.  The wave is an object, like an apple, face, or tree.  Only thing is that it's constantly moving, which makes it difficult to paint. 

Want to paint a wave?  Just remember:

• A wave has a light side and a shadow side.
• It has reflected light, cast shadows and highlights. 
• Creating the movement is critical, as is the brush strokes. 
• I used lots of paint, and limited my values. 

I like it.

You'll be seeing a lot more waves on my blog! 

Thanks for viewing my art.
