Observation is everything. Water isn’t just blue – it’s a complex interplay of light, reflection, and movement. Think back to our lessons about seeing beyond the obvious: the subtle color shifts, the way light plays across the surface, how reflections tell a story.

Remember our wash techniques? They’re the heartbeat of creating motion in water scenes. Those layered washes that build depth, those soft “lost edges” that blur the boundaries between land and sea – they’re your tools for bringing the tide to life on paper.

I’m looking forward to seeing how you’ll translate these lessons into your own paintings. Share your tide-inspired works and let the water’s rhythm guide your brush. On our Facebook group or Instagram use the tag #tidesofmarch to show off your works!

Keep painting!
