A Beach Scene Watercolor Step by Step

At Reddi Arts I demonstrated another beach scene in watercolor.  I try to make the steps simple , and understandable.  So here they are:  Below is the final result now examine the steps...

 

 Start with the drawing, simple and loose, and mask 

for light areas that you want the sun to hit.

 I like to work top down, so after using masking fluid 

to protect the whites, start with blues and light purples 

to do the cool areas.

 Go more for larger color areas, stay away 

from small details until near the end.  

Go for luminosity and range of values.
