Quick Tutorial - How I paint water 💦 (Patreon)

Hey friends!

So some people asked me how I paint water and I thought why not making a lil process video. The crazy thing is, while I was doing this I noticed that I can't really explain it in words lol. All I'm doing is what you can see in the video. Random shapes, small highlights, bigger ones indicating a form and some more blops of colors (background color, slightly lighter ones and darker tones for the deeper shadows. When objects are around I add the color as well at some points.

NOTE:

This is mainly for water objects or splashes of water. Not for big bodies of water such as a lake or the ocean. The background isn't the main color in that case obviously.

I always recommend using references and trying to break it down in simple steps. That's all I do. Water don't need to be super high polished. As long as the shapes and colors are alright, it will look believable enough.

That's it. I hope you understand my mess lol.

Stay sticky! 💦
