Water, Waves and Sea Life painting for Beginners with Terry Lynn

Dive into the art of painting water in this dynamic, technique-focused class. You’ll learn how to see water—how it moves, reflects, and flows—and translate that motion into confident sketches. We’ll explore how atmosphere and light influence the colors of water, from calm lakes to vibrant shorelines. Then, you’ll study how master artists use brushwork, palettes, and texture to create depth and energy in their water scenes.
By the end, you’ll have a strong foundation and the freedom to paint any type of water in your own unique style.
