[CR] Sunset on the sea (watercolor)

in #ntopaz5 years ago (edited)

ntopaz-image-0Hello, friends!

We're out of new year's vacation. I've drawn some watercolor drawings during this time. Today I'll show you one of them. This is a sunset on the sea. I want to learn how to draw sunlight, sky and water, so I chose this image for practice.

I didn't draw a sketch for this picture. Here I added paint to the wet paper.

I used watercolor paper with a torchon texture. This paper holds a long moisture. I painted clouds and the multicolored sky at sunset. It was very difficult. I wanted to cry in despair as the clouds merged into one spot.

I chose the colors for my painting.

I wet the paper well at the top of the sheet. There I began to paint the sky.

First light blue colors.

I left a white space for the sun, and from it drew a gradient of yellow, orange and red. I also used these colors to paint the clouds.

I added dark red and purple colors to the horizon line. And I also painted small clouds on the horizon near the sun.

The next step is to paint the sea. I wet some of the paper. I painted the yellow stripes-reflection from the sun. I also added red, brown and purple colors. This reflection of the sunset sky in the water.

At this stage I used the darkest blue colors. I added dark waves to the foreground. And the shadow of a sailboat.

Now I started drawing a sailboat. I used the darkest colors-a mixture of Indigo and purple. I painted the sailboat and the birds in the sky.

My painting's ready!

I'm glad you had fun with your holiday, and welcome back :D.
What a great picture, clearly you have succeeded in drawing the sunlight, sky, and water. That sunrise is so beautiful, the sky and sea are blending together in its wake <3.
                             
Nice painting, Veta ^_^.

Hi, dear @scrawly, I'm glad to see you! I'm glad I'm back on Steemit and I have some drawings that I can show here :))
Thank you for your kind words :)

No worries, Veta. I'm looking forward to see more of your art :D.
                     
Also nTopaz will only vote every other day, just letting you know in advance :).

Thanks @scrawly :) I understand that there are too many talented artists here who also need support. So I have not only an art blog :) In the next post I will tell you about the festival of ice sculptures ( teaser he he he) :)

Oohhh!!! That is exciting! Maybe like the sand sculpture post that you wrote sometimes ago :D.

Not as global as with sand figures, but it seems. By the way, I learned that sand and ice figures are created by the same sculptors! It's amazing.

How beautiful is his work @veta-less, I love how the sunset looks on the water and the gulls in the distance look incredible.

Thank you! )

Very nice. I love a sunset.

Thank you! I also love sunsets very much!

Beautiful, @veta-less ! I love the colours very much <3 The coming night feels so romantic with the purple velvety tones <3 And the reflections of the boat on the water's surface is beautiful ! <3

Thank you dear @veryspider ! I really love sunsets, so I wanted to learn how to draw it, although it was difficult..)

If anything, I really love Steemit because of the creative people I get to see creating amazing works of art such as this. As a non-artistic person, I marvel at how simple you make the process seem. Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you for your kind words @steveblucher ! I like Steemit because It gives me an incentive to creativity. I started drawing a lot after I registered here)

Oh, it looks easy...in fact, sometimes I almost cry when I can't draw what I want)))

Howdy there veta-less! oh my gosh that's gorgeous! How long did that take you to paint it? Do you sell your paintings?

Hi @janton ! I spent about 3-5 hours on this painting. But for me it was difficult, I spoiled one picture, and began to draw again.

No, I didn't try to sell my paintings...I don't know, nobody asked to buy them. )))

howdy today veta-less! You must have a great deal of patience! I know you said it was frustrating or difficult but the results were amazing I thought, did you like the way it turned out or did you have a vision of something else? I think if you got paintings like that in front of people they would buy them.

I would. I'd tell people.."here look, this is a painting I have from a famous Russian artist!" lol. You are from Russia right?

"a famous Russian artist" аhahaha @janton :)) I am pleased to hear it:)) Thank you for such compliments to my art ))

My pleasure veta-less, you may be surprised what the future holds! What part of Russia are you in, Moscow?(it's one of the few Russian cities I know!)

Thank you for your kind words @janton ! I live in St. Petersburg, this city is 700 km from Moscow

howdy again veta-less! oh ok, I know that name too. A major city. Hey what do the Russian people think about us Americans, do they think we're crazy? lol. I think the Russian people are wonderful.

It looks gorgeous and the gif is very fun to see and observe the entire process that went into it. Good job!

Thank you! I'm glad you liked my watercolor sunset)

Sail away.... sail away...... sail away. Your painting is so dreamy and the purple shade is drawing me in as I love that color. Your paintings always brings a smile to my face.

I'm glad you like my pictures :) I also love the purple color. I heard that this color is like children and creative people ;) Thank you for your kind words :)

It looks like you're getting better with each painting :) Love this one!

Oh, thanks! That's very nice to hear! I'm really trying to improve my skills.

That is stunning! I love the movement of the water. I'm a sucker for a sunset, too. Especially over the ocean!

I agree with you! Sunsets over the ocean are amazing! Thanks for the comment)

Very nice and I love the way you show the process of drawing, especially in the GIF.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked my art. )

I really never got the chance to paint but when you're making it, you really make it look so easy and beautiful to look at. It just shows how talented you are in the field of art. Thank you so much for sharing this and have a great day!

That's so good to hear! I am happy that my paintings evoke such feelings! Thank you! )

That is so pretty i love the gif of your process at the end of the post

Thank you very much for your kind words! I'm glad you liked my art.)

Какая хорошая акварельная работа получилась! Это по фото или из головы?

Спасибо, Алина. Это по онлайн-уроку, у препода был референс с фото.
