Introduction
My fascination for waves started from an early age, when I went to the beach for the first time, and the waves there splashed against my feet. Since then, I’ve always wanted to capture their beauty in painting but didn’t know how. However, recently I did a bit of research on how to paint waves, and came across some amazing video tutorials regarding the matter. These tutorials helped me a lot in terms of learning and understand the process on how to paint waves properly.
In order to paint waves properly, you need to ensure three things. First comes the structure of the waves, their size and shape, as well the direction they’re going in. Next, you maintain the continuity of those waves. Finally, you take out your brushes and colors, and start painting those waves.

However, once you start working on it, you’ll realize how much effort is needed to ensure the painting’s quality.
