How to Paint Water - A shark under the sea - With Dilip Art

ABOUT PICTURE

Hi, I am Dilip Sarkar , today I have drawn a painting of underwater where you can see shark and a man swimming under water. I have tried to make the article as simple as possible so that you can understand it in very simple steps. If you are a beginners obviously it’s little hard for you, you should have some knowledge and also some experience about oil painting. Still you can draw it with my simple steps given below. Her I have added an animation in the video for you to get interested in drawing apart from getting bored watching same kinds of video. So I hope you will like this. Thanks a lot.

HOW TO DRAW STEP BY STEP (OIL PAINTING)

STEP 1: AS I want to make an underground picture I have made a base of turquoise blue and white acrylic mixture and put it on all over the canvas. SO after it had been dried I have started putting color. So I have started putting color from the lower left corner as I have selected the light coming from upper right corner. So I put Prussian blue mixing with little white in the lower left corner. Remember that starting from the lower left corner it become lighter to upper right corner.

STEP 2: Now the second step is very important because you have to be careful about brushing and color mixing all that. Here you should have little experience about oil painting. So on the upper right color first I have put yellow ocher then light yellow then little white and same combination in the middle but diagonally. So in the upper right corners I have added little extra light according to middle as you can see because that’s the area from where exactly light is entering into the underwater. And in the middle its basically the reflection of light made at the inner waves of under water. So I blurred the color diagonally.

STEP 3: Then I have added more lights with white but this time I have added spatula because it is very good to use spatula it gives got shading effect for light.

STEP 4: After the previous step I have added little more shadows with turquoise blue mixing with very little Prussian blue below the lights in middle area and added some more lights in some places specially just on the shadows if needed. Then I have made a stark with white.

STEP 5: you can see the background is moving, it’s my new idea to make you more interested in drawing. So then I have detailed the shark with blue mixing with little white like eyes, the stripes on its skin etc. and also added shadows with white blue mix-up on the wings and upper body. This actually will show the both the color of the body and shark. (See the picture for better placement)

STEP 6: Then I have made a man in the water. See picture for better drawing.

Add more detail if needed.
