About this lesson

Walks through a wave painting on a gessoed panel from sky and distant water to foreground waves, using Prussian blue, cerulean, viridian and Payne's gray. Covers taping a crisp horizon, building foam with progressively more opaque white, and following water movement with diagonal strokes.
