HOW TO PAINT OCEAN WATER | Acrylic paint lesson for beginners | ocean waves tutorial
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 июл 2019
- In this step by step acrylic paint tutorial I teach you how to paint ocean waves with light sparkles. As with all of my paint tutorials I keep the paint palette very limited to make it easier to explain how to mix your colors. I use only the 3 primary colors (blue, yellow and magenta) plus white. I will teach how to mix all of the colors we will use.
I would be so grateful if you subscribed to my channel!!
I would also love to hear from you. Questions, advice, tips to share, requests for other tutorials....anything you have on your mind! Please leave me a comment. And I will respond back. :)
If you've ever painted along with me, PLEASE send me pics! I would loooove to see them. You can tag or message me on instagram or Facebook (see links below).
And as with all of my videos be sure to watch until the very end to see some cute, funny or silly antics from our French Bulldog, Poet.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING!!!
Have an amazing day!
Debbie :)

“It’s going to go through an ugly stage before it gets better” your not just an artist you are sounding more like a therapist to me at the moment. Just started watching your videos and honestly you have truly moved me.

Thanks so much ☺️
Debbie, I like what I see and can’t wait to paint your tutorial step by step.
love how suddenly - yet not so SUDDENLY - the canvas became as if looking at the ocean! love love love!!! I started painting during the pandemic as well --- am learning that I waste a LOT Of paint being too heavy handed. This was amazing to watch. I can't wait to try this myself!
Thank you so much.
I love that you have your finished painting in the upper corner so we can see where we are heading
I’m glad you found that helpful. ☺️
Thank you very much Debbie! I just turned 40 and until about 8 months ago I picked up a paint brush for the first time since elementary school lol. You're a very good artist and I appreciate you taking time to show this beginner how to paint beautiful waves.
That’s wonderful! I’m so happy to hear that. Thank you for your support. 😊
I love the patience and dedication with which you explain the painting. It’s clear that you love what you do 💕
ButterflyAnnie988 that is such a nice comment. Thank you so much. That means a lot. I do love what I do!
I dont mean to be offtopic but does any of you know a way to get back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb forgot my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Brantley Bode Instablaster =)
@Thiago Vance i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Thiago Vance It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my ass!
Just lovely. THANK YOU! Thank you for being so generous with your time and explaining it all. 🙏💐❤
You’re such a great teacher! I’ve been trying to learn how to paint waves for months and this is the first tutorial that is comprehensive and well paced! Thank you!! Please don’t stop making videos
e Thank you so much for your comment. Knowing that I’m helping you makes me happier than you could imagine. Encouraging comments like yours are what keep me producing my videos. Thank you for letting me know you’re out there! 😀
I would love to see your waves if you’re willing to share them with me! ;)
So gorgeous. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to try this.
I discovered your Chanel today and can’t express how amazed I am with your talent. I can’t stop watching your tutorials and feel totally inspired. I am new to put art onto canvas but feel that you have given me the courage to start to paint. From the depth of my heart I would like to thank you so much for being a wonderful teacher and keeping it light and relaxing
Nil Malabanan Oh my gosh this is so nice of you to say. Thank you very much for your kind words. I am so glad you are enjoying my tutorials. And it makes me so happy if I have helped give you the courage to start painting. Remember, it’s just paint! You can paint right over it and start again if you don’t like something you’ve done. The more you paint, the better you’ll get. Just paint, paint, paint!! 😀
A super mom , who is a super artist too , lucky children , well done on fitting it all in !
Anthony o'Flynn Aww thanks so much. 😊
Your last tutorial really helped me a lot especially in terms of technique. I’ve been used to working with blues (Prussian blue, pthalo blue, ultramarine blue and a few yellows) so I felt really stuck when trying to use pinks or reds...it would just throw me off for some reason lol. I can’t wait to try this one!!! Stuff like this would intimidate me so much and you make it less intimidating and more approachable.
K. Fox Oh that makes me so happy to hear! I don’t want art to be intimidating for people. I want everyone to know they can do it!!! You just need someone to break it down in simple terms. You can paint anything with a little practice. ;)
Thank you so much for this feedback. I would love to see your version of this painting. ❤️ You can tag me on Instagram or facebook @ DebbieAvouxStudio or email it to me @ debbieavoux@yahoo.com
:)
This was so calming, I have to paint waves into the background of a commission piece and I had no idea how to. This video made it seem much less stressful which is awesome.
Awesome!! I’m so happy to help another artist out!!
Outstanding! What a great teacher. I can’t wait to try this.
Thank you so much Neil!
"Lesson for beginners"........I could paint the rest of my life and never get it right.😜
Great Job!
I'm obsessed with this painting and can't wait to try it!
Whitney Mayfield awesome!! I love that! 😀❤️
I'm an absolute beginner and a new sub.
Outside of painting rocks, I have no idea what I'm doing.
I've watched this twice and on the 3rd viewing I decided to try
and I can't do it!!! 😭
You are an EXCELLENT teacher and am so very grateful for your time and energy!! I love all of your work!!

I appreciate your video and I cant wait to see more of your talent!

You are such a good teacher .. watching your tutorial first time .. hope to learn a lot from you in future .. love from your new subscriber from India
I am hooked on you and you’re teaching style! Also your choice of paintings to teach are so my style. I wish you kept the final images of your paintings in the corner for all of your videos though. I had to keep stopping during the seashell one and the hydrangeas so I could go back to the screenshot I took of the final result.
Lindsay Transue That is a great suggestion! I will try to remember that one. Thank you for the feedback. ❤️

Such a great tutorial!!! So relieved I found your video. I'm in the middle of a commissioned painting and the water was a disaster!!! You helped dig me out of a hole, thank you!!! I tried 4 or 5 other tutorials and they didn't work out AT ALL. Yours is by far the best!! Thank you!!
Oh that makes me so happy that I was able to help you out! ❤️. I would love to see your painting if you are willing to share it!
@@DebbieAvouxStudio i.postimg.cc/8zKdM6QW/20210218-163355.jpg Im not done yet, as I have to paint a sailboat which takes up the majority of the canvas. and I will have to add a small wave at the bow of the boat which will alter things.
This is beautiful
I’m so glad that I found your channel ❤️
Merve Thank you! I’m glad you found me too!!😀
Thank you for making this video, excellent teaching, I’ll be trying this! 😁💚
Summy Lynn You’re so welcome Summy!
wow i am blown away on how i caught on after such a long time never getting it right i actually stopped using acrylics for a little over a year and started doing watercolors i love it but I started out doing oils then got a little tired of the mess and then used acrylics i am more blown away the fact that i was using basic paints but it would dry so fast. now i recently purchased windsor and newton i like it so far but i dont see a big diff yet.either that or I just had to go to water color to learn water control better and then come back to using acrylics also a good medium helps ...thanks for posting this 2 thumbs up and a sub :)
Aww thank you so much for the thumbs up and sub. I'm so glad to hear you're "getting it right"
The best explanation ever! Thank you so much! I was tryning to find how to paint waves and it's really difficult to fing a good explanation... Very beautiful work!
Love your tutorials!!! Love to see one of the water wall you recently did. Awesome!
Just weighing in. Music, no music, just do what causes you the least stress but just please don’t stop making your videos.
Please don’t fast forward to make the video shorter. We are watching you because we want to learn how you paint so beautifully. We are interested in every little detail.
Thanks so much for the hard work you put into your videos and any hints and tips you can give us. Paint on!!!

Tina H oh my gosh thank you so much for your nice comment Tina. And thank you for your support and for subscribing.
As a novice in painting (started one year ago, a week after turning 60 !) I need all the help I can get. I love the ocean (water in general) and have, over the last few months, watched quite a few tutorials on RUclips. I would rate yours as one of the best ! I truly appreciated the step by step approach, especially with the explanation at each step. I plan to paint something similar in oil very soon.
LuckyDutchFishing wow I love that you’re just getting started at 60! See, it’s never too late to follow your passion to get creative! I’m so happy you enjoyed this tutorial. Thank you so much for your feedback. It really means a lot.
really great Debbie!!
