Here are demonstrations in watercolor, acrylic and oil creating the effects of light upon, through and reflected by water. Learn how to achieve the sensation of transparency, translucence and opaque watery mystery. Learn how to create reflections, broken, in motion, static, vivid and distant. Learn how to evoke conditions of wet silvery motions, tumbling aerated water, frothing splashes, shadowed and sun pierced pools, undulating wave patterns, quiet ponds supporting floating leaves, interpenetrating sticks and rocks, and how to evoke the feeling of simultaneous reflecting and transparently. Learn how historic and contemporary artists from ancient Persians to 19th century landscapists’ photo realists painted water, lakes, rivers, streams, streets, in droplets, and on wet surfaces. Learn how to make color and value shift beneath water.
