How to Paint a River in Watercolour

Part 1 of 4 in painting waterfalls. In order to understand the flow of water we need start, as with anything else, right from the beginning. In this class you will get the feel of water flowing over a series of small rocks. In each lesson we will increase the height. The kingfisher was added to give a sense of scale.

In this lesson you will learn:

1.  How to simplify the background
2.  How to paint the rocks
3.  How to paint the calm water upstream
4.  How to paint the water flowing over and between the rocks
5.  How to pain the downstream flow
