In this video on how to paint realistic water with watercolor, I go through the whole process from start to finish, in easy to follow steps. Learn how to create an horizon, alongside authentic looking ripples and waves. All are ideal for adding a dolphin, seal, or even a boat to your finished painting. I hope you find the tutorial helpful.
