                       Here are some underwater painting ideas to recreate @prada_paint_project’s painting:

Materials required:

Menorah Mixed Media Sketchbook

Acrylics

Flat brush

Round brush

1. Under the sea

                           To achieve the exact shades of the sea in the underwater painting, three colors- cobalt blue, ultra- marine blue and white are used. The sketchbook is tilted and used vertically to maximize the space and create more details in the painting.

                       Place a drop of cobalt blue and white paint at the top of the sketchbook to form the light blue water layer at the top. This is followed by a drop of cobalt blue and then ultra- marine blue for the darker shades of deep sea.

                  Use a flat brush and blend them all in layers to achieve a gradient.

      2.Sunshine

             Choose a point at the top of the sketchbook where the sun is visible from below, in a worm’s eye view.

                    Use a flat brush to paint the rays extending downwards and upwards. Use a round brush to make a circle at that point and fill it with white paint to make it look like the sun, as visible from under water.

      3.Dive right in

                     Make an outline of a diver with a pencil on the 180 GSM sketchbook. Color it with black acrylic to match the colour of the scuba gear.

      4. Make waves

                    To add more depth to the painting, draw short wave-like patterns at the tops with ultra-marine blue using a round brush.

                          An easy yet alluring painting is now in your hands! Experience the joy painting, exploring and adventure with Menorah sketchbooks.
