![]() The red arrow is pointing to water that is still thick or building up as it is getting ready to crest. Lastly, notice how much darker the wave in the background is compared to the one in front. Visualize a someone who has a slight smile that is barely curving upward. Most of the lines curve or bow downward slightly. It is choppy looking, so there are a lot of short lines, if you will, of light and dark. Now look at the water that isn’t part of a wave. The opposite direction of curving streaks in the water is also what conveys movement. Compare the movement lines between the water when it’s on a crest versus under the wave. The water before the wave is mostly flat, but the water getting pulled up into the wave is curving upward in a gentle arch towards the wave crest. In fact, the bottom edge of the foam is not smooth.Īlso notice how the water is darkest right under the foam as this area is in shadows. Notice all of the white dots of foam and how the top of the foam is not smooth. Then compare the darkness level of the crest (yellow arrow) with the water under the crest (red arrow). The color is not uniform and it’s the different colored streaks that convey movement to our eye. Here’s the link to the photo: įirst off, look at the crest of a wave and notice how it curves gently downward towards the foam. The reference photo is from Pixabay and was uploaded by user Enrique Lopezgarre. If nothing else it would make it easier to explain. I had started out trying to replicate the photo, but about halfway through decided that it would be better to simplify the process. I used a reference photo to get the basic shape of the waves. I also used Golden transparent airbrush color in Phthalo blue. Frisket film (only if you are airbrushing the color on)ĬomArt transparent airbrush colors I used: Pale Yellow, Ochre, Royal Blue, Emerald Green. ![]()
