Today we're painting a wave for #12! There might be a lot of parts to this one, but we can take it slow, step by step and just focus on the textures. The key to this painting is leaving white space for the wave foam. Keep that in mind as you paint around it and use texture techniques like dry brush and the foam will appear. Remember you can always leave more white space and cover it up later. I can't wait to see how you do with this one! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Paper: arches 140 lb cotton 9X12" paper that I've cut into 3X3" pieces, giving me 12 pieces per page.

Paint: For this project I am using a split primary palette- cad yellow deep, lemon yellow, cad red, magenta, ultramarine blue, cerulean, indigo and sap green. The colors I'm using today are - Cerulean, cad yellow, cad red and ultramarine blue. I'm mixing all the browns using ultramarine blue, cad red and cad yellow, but you can use a convenience brown if you prefer not to mix.

Brushes: round 4 & 10 - Princeton brand.

Hey Kirsten just to make sure, could you confirm uploads are at 12PM MST? Was there/is there an hour change to take into account for summer or winter time? I am now 8.53PM CET... I was waiting 45min, I think I misunderstood, could you remind me of the right time? thank you

Hi Casey! I try to get the videos up any time before 12 PM MST but I have been having a lot of Internet connection issues lately so it was delayed today. Sorry about that! Typically if I have them pre-scheduled they are online by 9 AM MST

Oh God, ok :) Sorry bout the issues with the internet. No worries, I adjusted my schedule. thank you. I liked this one a lot! My rock don't look like a rock though, but that's ok... I am working on my color mixure skills tomoz. All the best with the move and everything, and looking forward to FriYay!

I had quite good luck with the last splashing white wave (although the lighthouse in that one won no awards lol). Looking forward to it. I do love a good wave, and would like to get better at it.

This was a bunch of fun.

I really liked this one. I felt my skill level didn't match doing the spray up on the rocks so I just did rough water around the rock and a little spray in the front area with white guache. It turned out ok but I look forward to getting better and trying it again. I learned a lot like how to add more texture with different brush strokes.

I love how the ocean came out with the dry brush!

I like that you have the reference photo on the same screen. Thanks for that.

oh, I really like the picture in picture view, it really helps me see "where we are going" This is my first video I'm watching this 100 minis, so maybe you started doing this earlier. ;)
