Watercolor paints are made from either natural pigments found in the earth; clay, minerals, etc., or from synthetic pigments, which have been finely ground down and then held together with a water-soluble based "gum" binder.

Sketch the area that will be filled with water on your canvas before you begin to paint. If the body of water is one that would have several different depths within it (such as a lake or ocean, or a deep river), go ahead and sketch the different depths as well.

Use the shade of light blue and dark blue paint. Play with the colors so that it will looked natural like waves of ocean. I hope your friend is okay now and doing great.
