Hey everyone, here's a 50 minute, unedited, live tutorial on how I paint realistic waves. This was part of a recent live stream with FanFaire NYC.

Here is what I'm using:

Wood Panel (12”x12”x1.5”)
Acrylic paint - I’m going to be using Alphakrylik but any acrylic paint will do. And I will be using 5 colours - Red, Yellow, Blue, Black and White
4 Synthetic Brushes - 2 Flat Brushes, Size 3/4” and 6. Size 1 Round Brush and Size 1 Rigger Brush
A few paper towels
A palette
A cup of water

For those entering the giveaway: Feel free to use whatever materials you have. This could be acrylic, gouache, oils or even photoshop. Paint a wave (it doesn't matter what medium) and use the hashtag on Instagram #FF21Wave

Good Luck!
