In this video I show from start to finish how you can paint a simple, loose, and expressive watercolor seascape. The wet on wet technique is your best friend when wanting to achieve a loose and painterly watercolor effect. For this painting I use a 100% cotton watercolor paper. The cotton helps the paint stay wet longer and also allows helps for manipulating and moving the paint around longer.
