Step 1. As in my previous tutorial on how to draw an ocean; Begin this step by drawing the horizon line. Of course, we want to draw the viewer's attention to the oceanic space of this landscape; so I just cut off most of the sky to watch. Draw long, curved lines that will separate the water from the ground.

Step 2. Here you will want to draw the division points of land and sea. Start making waves that are level with the sand. Once you've moved your path up to the vanishing point, paint in some rocks to give the landscape a more "oceanic" feel. To give this view an expansive look, add a hill-like structure in the distance.

Step 3. Finally, draw the foam area that surrounds the waves. This drawing will definitely add realism to your ocean scene. Sketch the detailing onto the stones so that you have unity with the amount of detail encoded into the waves. Feel free to add some extra sand dunes to the grass. Don't leave the sea a little! You could perhaps add some stall crabs to the water!

Step 4. If you followed this tutorial correctly, your drawing should look something like this. Erase the guidelines that are grayed out and you should be set to start polishing! Get yourself a good pen (preferably a micron) and start covering your drawing of the sea with paint! Adding a couple of colors would make this drawing nice appearance. Another cool idea to add a character who grazes in the vastness of the ocean. There are so many possibilities there that he hit him in the head with a bottle. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, thanks for watching!

The sea... There is hardly anyone who does not love the sea. Musicians sang about him, poets wrote poems about him. It hides many secrets, and rarely reveals them to anyone. Humanity has always been curious about what is there, under the surface of the sea, what treasures, strange fish and plants? The sea does not give an answer, it gently splashes on the coastal stones and sparkles, basking in the sun. Only the sea is deceptive and doesn’t like jokes. Today it is obedient and calm, and tomorrow it foams angrily and rolls huge waves, destroying everything in its path. Let's try to draw the sea with a pencil, its fancy coastal waves and the seashore. It is much easier to depict the sea with paints, precisely due to color and shades, so the task before us is difficult. Step by step we will try to draw the sea with a pencil in stages, I hope you succeed.

1. Prepare a thick sheet of matte paper, but not smooth, otherwise the lead will slide and deep shadows are unlikely to be obtained. In addition, this lesson will require the technique of shading on paper, and smooth paper is not at all suitable for this. You need at least two pencils - hard and soft. We draw a preliminary sketch. We denote the horizon, the line of low mountains in the background and the edge of the water.

   

   
   
2. It is important to show how the waves move and roll. We draw long and short strokes, filling the entire sea area. But we do them at a certain angle. On the left, the lines will lie a little wider, and on the right, they will seem to gather in a narrow bunch. Near the horizon, the shading should be thicker and denser. This gives the effect of the depth and length of the sea, the feeling that the viewer is standing on the shore.

   

   
   
3. Drawing distant mountains. There is no need to go into too much detail; it is enough to show mountain bulges and depressions, fractures in rocks. To do this, just draw something like small triangles with a dark base. Show some of the mountains more generally, they will be far away from the viewer. Also leave unshaded areas so that there is a feeling of being illuminated by the sun. Mark the edge of the earth, a narrow strip at the foot of the mountains.

   

   
   
4. Using a very soft pencil we begin to tint the sea. Do the shading at exactly the same angles as in the previous sketch. At the same time, on the horizon the water will be completely dark, and towards the shore it will be lighter, due to the fact that the depth becomes shallower towards the shore and “lambs” of foam appear. Try not to shade the sea evenly, remember that the sea is moving and the waves come from the horizon, increasing in size. And at the same time, each wave is voluminous, has light and shadow. The sea is like a huge silk fabric with folds.

   

   
   
5. Now the most important step - try to shade the pencil lines. Do not wash them, but rub them on the paper with light movements. This can be done with your finger or a piece of soft paper. We leave the most dark stripe on the horizon. We highlight some areas of the waves in the foreground using an eraser. The foam will be lightest, almost white, where it touches the ground or at the very top of the ridge. Imagine how the water foams, how the splashes fly, how the waves roll onto the shore, as if covering it. Some of the water will simply spread out and be absorbed into the sand, but its contours on the ground will still be visible for some time.

   

   
   
6. We make the most contrasting waves in the foreground. It will be darkest in the depths of each wave, under the white edge of the foam. At this stage we work more with an eraser. For convenience, it can be “sharpened”, that is, with a sharp blade, cut off the edge diagonally. They can be used to “paint” snow-white foam. Use a soft pencil to add contrast to the waves and immediately erase the excess with an eraser, “outlining” the splashes. If the paper is soft and loose, then the pencil drawing can easily be corrected in this way. Work very carefully, without smearing the drawing. Sometimes it is enough to just point-touch the surface of the paper with an eraser to get picturesque “lambs”. This type of drawing requires some virtuosity, but try anyway.

   

   
   

The question “How to draw the sea?” It’s not just artists who ask these questions. Almost everyone who admires sea views wants to somehow capture this gift of nature, which just begs to be put on canvas. Or, at least, into the camera lens.

A little information. Landscape in art is a genre in which nature is depicted. Also, individual paintings of this genre are called landscapes. The landscape can be urban - here nature has already been transformed by man to suit his needs, or, for example, rural. If the sea is depicted, then such a landscape is called a marina. And artists, accordingly, are marine painters.

So, let me give you some useful recommendations. In this article, our main task is to enable observation, as well as consider some laws of composition and color solutions.

1. Horizon

Do you know where the horizon is? Don’t read the answer right away, think, try to answer intuitively. In the distance, where the sky turns to sea? Or where does the earth end? Well, no. The horizon is always at our eye level. You can check it today on the street, especially if you are outside the city, where the horizon is clearly visible. Squat down, stand up - the horizon will move with you.

Where should it be placed on the sheet? In the middle? Not worth it. The answer to this question has long been found by artists. You need to decide what is more important (more beautiful, more interesting) - the sky or the sea? If it is the sea, then there is more space for it, and if it is the sky, then the sky. It’s better to solve the horizon issue using the so-called “rule of thirds”; try it, you won’t be mistaken. Divide the sheet into 3 parts vertically, draw two lines. If you are more interested in the sea, it will occupy 2 parts, if the sky - it. An excellent example: the third part is given to the sky, the third to the sea, the third to the beach (sand):

And here there is more sea:

Of course, the sky can also prevail, especially this:

2. Which is darker?

Before drawing seascape It is important for an artist to solve the question - what is darker, the sea or the sky? And stick to this contrast. Both the sea and the sky have blue shades, so the question is very important. And they solve it, as a rule, towards the dark sea.

3. Drawing the sky

Drawing the sky is quite simple - look carefully at the sky and you will understand everything. It is usually dark blue at the top, and gradually becomes lighter towards the horizon. As in the photo above. Therefore, we simply gradually add lightness to the sky; sometimes it is almost white downwards.

4. Clouds

They are usually depicted as white. First, luscious strokes are usually made with white paint without water or solvent. Then, downwards, they can be smoothly rubbed into the sky with a very dry brush (another) or the bottom of the clouds can be made light purple-gray. All transitions are smooth.

5. Sea

The sea is also drawn from dark to light. At the horizon it is dark blue, which creates an excellent contrast with the sky and depth of space. You can just take blue paint without mixing it with anything. Then, closer to the third part of the sea, we add a little emerald green and white to the blue, more and more brightening and “greening” the water towards the shore.

6. Sand.

Sometimes they don’t paint it, but if you want... For sand it is better to mix light ocher with a small amount of red and white. And make the transition from sea to sand smooth. This can be achieved by placing strokes of “sea” and “sand” colors next to each other, gradually “mixing” one color into the other.

Is it expensive?

Let's see. The cost of an in-person painting lesson in Moscow is from 1,500 rubles. Add to this the time and money that will be spent on travel. And also the need to go somewhere in the evening after work or negotiate with grandmothers, husband or nanny to look after the children.

Another thing is to pour yourself a cup of tea, occupy your loved ones with something interesting or sit next to them with brushes and paints, and DRAW. Online lessons help you do what you want, when it suits you. It's much nicer that way, isn't it?

In this photo tutorial we will look at a simple technique for drawing a seascape. This lesson is perfect for beginners, because the plot lacks precise drawings and complex constructions. The main task in drawing the sea is to harmoniously mix paints on wet paper and make a graduated wash for a realistic water effect.

So get ready workplace and take the necessary tools:

• watercolor paints;
• special paper for painting with watercolors;
• container with water;
• round synthetic or kolinsky brushes No. 5,3 and 4;
• pencil with eraser.

Drawing stages

Step 1. Start by creating a pencil sketch. Visually divide the sheet into 2/3 parts and draw a horizontal line at the top of the sheet. This way we have created a horizon line. Next, we finish drawing the coast line in the lower left corner.

Draw a big wave under the horizon line.

Below we create small waves.

The sketch is ready. We proceed to drawing with paint, but first we decolorize the rich outline of the drawing with an eraser.

Step 2. Fill the upper part of the sea (behind the big wave) with translucent ultramarine. We blur too clear contours with a wet brush.

Step 3. High waves transmit sunlight well, distorting the main color of the water, making it warmer, so we paint them with a greenish-turquoise tone. The base of the near wave is shaded with lemon diluted with a large amount of water. We leave the wave crests white for now.

Step 4. Fill the gaps between the waves with light ultramarine. Next, use yellow ocher to mark a piece of the breg in the lower left corner.

Step 5. Apply a shade of indigo to the tip of brush No. 3 and use it to mark the dark parts of the waves that form the ridges.

Video recipe for the occasion:

Step 6. The “wet” technique and graduated blur will help us make a realistic sky. We wet the sky area with water and, using a large brush and cobalt blue, begin to draw the sky and the outlines of the clouds.

Step 7. On the sand we draw stones and seaweed washed ashore. For a more interesting result, we recommend making a few splashes of brown to best convey the texture of the sandy shore.

Step 8. Add contrast to the pattern with more saturated shades of turquoise and ultramarine.

What's more relaxing and energizing than waves and ripples on sparkling water? The fresh ocean breeze from the heavens fills our souls with joy and inspiration.

Learn how to paint the ocean by capturing the atmosphere of a sunny, windy day at sea in a simple watercolor landscape.

You will need:

1. A sheet of cold pressed watercolor paper, about 25x35 cm in size.
2. Three round brushes: large (No. 12), medium (No. 8) and a small brush for detailing (thin brush No. 4).
3. Watercolor colors:

• Cobalt blue
• Naples yellow
• Cadmium red
• Venetian red
• Phthalocyanine (Phtalo blue)
• Prussian green

Note: The last two colors will be used to paint the water. Feel free to replace them with other blues and greenish-blues that are bright, clean and intense.

Step 1. Pencil sketch

Make a very light preliminary sketch. The lines are so thin that they are barely visible.

Step 2. Draw the sky

Wet the paper above the horizon, avoiding the foreground, and wait until the water is absorbed.

Using your largest brush, use a few light strokes of Naples yellow to outline the location of the clouds. Dip your brush into Cobalt blue and paint the top edge of the clouds. Gently soften some edges with a clean, wet brush to achieve a balance between sharp and blurred color transitions. Once you've defined the bottom of the clouds, continue painting the blue sky.

While the paper is still wet, use a mixture of Cobalt blue and Cadmium red to paint the shadows of the clouds.

Step 3. Draw water

Load up a large brush with more diluted Phtalo blue and make the first pass using the wet-on-dry technique (wet paint applied to dry paper).

Alternate using the surface of the brush, using only part of the bristles, and tilt the paper slightly. Thanks to the texture of the paper, small areas of the sheet will remain untouched, creating the illusion of sparkling ocean water.

While the paint is still wet, deepen the waves in the foreground by adding a few quick, thick strokes of Phtalo blue and Prussian green. This will bring the foreground closer to the viewer.

Step 4. Draw the background and waves

Paint the hills in the background using a mixture of Cobalt blue, Naples yellow and a dash of Cadmium red. Keep the color muted and soften the edges to hint at distance.

After making sure the ocean area is completely dry, paint in the waves and ripples. To create the effect of depth, the strokes in the foreground should be larger and brighter than those in the background.

Step 5. Draw the boats

Using a medium and small brush, paint the boats and the people in them. Use a mixture of Cadmium red and Venetian red to create an accent color. Don't overwork the shapes - leave them blurred for a more natural look.

You may want to deepen the color saturation of the hills to make them look better. Also, add a couple of strokes to the foreground to bring it forward even more.

It's time for a couple of final touches here and there as needed. And don't forget to paint some seagulls in the sky to add more life to the composition.
