About This Video

In this full process tutorial I paint a watercolour fishing boat from start to finish, using a reference photo (linked) to keep the shapes and values grounded while still letting the paint do its thing. I focus on building the scene in clear stages—starting with the big, simple washes, then tightening up the boat structure, and finally adding the small accents that make it feel like a real object sitting in real light. If you’re trying to get more confident with boats (or any subject with a lot of straight-ish edges), this is the kind of painting where a calm, step-by-step approach really pays off. Along the way I’m thinking about a few core ideas: keeping the value pattern readable, separating the boat from the water/background, and saving the darkest darks for the end so the painting doesn’t get muddy too early. I also talk through how I simplify what I see in the reference so you’re not copying every detail—just the ones that actually help the painting. By the end you’ll have a complete fishing boat painting, plus a repeatable process you can use for other nautical scenes and full process watercolour pieces.
