Crashing Waves
Painting this watercolor took many washes of several different colors of blue to produce the threatening sky and moving water. The white foam is nothing more than the paper without paint. It's tricky to preserve the white paper while using so many glazes of paint but essential to produce the necessary effect. Masking fluid can protect the paper but leaves a hard edge while white paint is opaque and doesn't provide the transparency that makes a watercolor so appealing. Let it happen!
