Replay Live Video: Five Minute Friday - Sailboat and more! (Patreon)

Hey Friends!

If you missed this week’s live session, the full replay for Five Minute Friday: Sailboat and More is ready for you to watch. Mom aka Shelby was with us! A few asked about her Facebook profile - here you go: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064441881755&mibextid=wwXIfr

In this quick tutorial, we explore loose watercolor techniques to paint a breezy ocean scene filled with colorful sailboats, soft water ripples, and layered horizons.

What We Covered:

 Loose Sailboat Shapes: How to capture sleek hulls and dynamic sails with simple, confident brushstrokes without overthinking details.

 Color Blending & Reflection: Techniques for bleeding vivid paints (rich reds, deep purples, vibrant blues, and warm yellows) directly onto cold-press paper to create realistic water reflections.

 Creating Water Texture: Using quick horizontal dry-brush and wet-on-dry strokes to convey gentle waves and atmospheric distance.

Grab your watercolor palette, a round brush, and your sketchbook to paint along at your own pace!

What colors are you planning to use for your sailboats? Drop a photo of your finished piece in the chat, we would love to see your work!
