Let the line fade out as you reach the middle part of the blue area. Use just the tip of your 3/4 wash brush to paint these lines. Paint light rays that meet in the top center of the canvas. Then completely rinse your 3/4 wash brush and load it into titanium white. Paint a few up in the bright white area as well. These lines create water texture in the water. Use the tip of your 3/4″ wash brush to paint small lines that go in that semi-circle direction. Next, mix white with turquoise on your palette (about 3 parts white to 1 part turquoise). Paint this pale yellow on the bottom half of the sea floor and gently blend it up into the light blue area. This will make a light, pale yellow color. Mix about 1 part Naples yellow and 3 parts titanium white. Gently paint about 3/4 inch of this light blue color but leave the bottom blank. Use your flat brush to define a horizontal line on the bottom of the canvas where the sea floor will be. Then mix white with the blue to make a lighter blue. Be careful because phthalo blue is a strong color so you don’t want to over load your brush with too much of it.Īs you approach the bottom of your canvas (about 2 inches from the bottom), start painting in a horizontal direction. Gently blend the blue on the outside of the turquoise and blend it gently into the turquoise. Continue to paint in that half-circle direction allowing your water to get darker as you paint the lower portions of the canvas. Start on the outside of the white and gently blend the turquoise into the white. Paint in an inverted half-circle direction. Then mix a small amount of turquoise into the white so that it becomes a light turquoise. Go about halfway down the canvas with this semi-circle of titanium white (see picture below). Make your strokes go in a “semi-circle” direction. Load the tip of your 3/4″ wash brush with just titanium white. This will help with all the blending in the background. Next, lightly spray the canvas so that there is a very thin layer of water. Load your palette with: titanium white, turquoise blue, phthalo blue and Naples yellow hue.
