Demystified but Delighted

Water has always been a puzzle to me when it comes to any art. In this course, I learnt things I had never even thought about when trying to capture water on paper. But Shelby explained the steps and I could see that her process enabled her to capture both still, foamy, wavy and sandy environments and have them look believable enough for you to go there yourself.
