The yellow circle is middle value of the colorful water. There is light in the wave, so it is darker than the red circled part. It is darker that the blue circle part.

The ocean is uncontrollable and it continues to amaze us with its beauty through its wild waves or its serenity during times of stillness. This gallery includes art works that depict the characteristics of the movement and colors of the ocean, as they show how rich and full of emotion the ocean waves can be.
Rocks at Belle-Île, Port-Domois , Claude Monet (French, b.1840, d.1926), 1886, Владелец коллекции: Cincinnati Art Museum.
Rocks at Belle-Île, Port-Domois is a straightforward painting by Monet,as he is known for his landscape paintings; as seen here, he captures not only rocks but also the ocean and an orange-pink sunset in the background. His brush technique adds texture and shows the movement of the water with small waves.
Ricketts Point, Beaumaris , Charles CONDER, 1890, Владелец коллекции: National Gallery of Australia.
Ricketts Point, Beaumaris depicts a scene of men, women and children spending the day by the shore. Some women are seen collecting sea shells and a child is playing in the water. Charles Conder uses the element of light, and shows how the water is calm with a few waves here and there on the shoreline.
Evans Bay , James Nairn (artist), 1893, Владелец коллекции: Te Papa.
Evans Bay shows a fisherman on a boat and there seems to be a broken dock beside it, as well as some mountains in the background. Since this is a bay, James M. Nairn portrayed well the appearance of the water being still, with little movement occurring other than some ripples in the water. He incorporates light to reflect the sky on the water, and it appears that the sun is setting with all the warm colors and because there are some pink tones in the clouds.
The Wave , Gustave Courbet, About 1869, Владелец коллекции: National Galleries Scotland: National.
The Wave by Gustave Courbet shows a crashing wave with a very overcast sky. He uses very well texture with every brushstroke to emphasize the roughness of the sea. With this technique to create realistic choppy water we see how much movement there is, and the direction in which the wave is moving.
Shipwreck in a Rocky Inlet , Carlo Bonavia, 1575, Владелец коллекции: Fundación Banco Santander.
We can observe that there is a lot happening in Shipwreck in a Rocky Inlet. There are some passengers seen escaping a sinking ship close to some large rocks, and then offshore there is another ship sailing through some rough tide. Carlo Bonavia paints in a very realistic way,and creates a lot of movement occurring in the water, like the waves crashing on the rocks, which directs our attention to the passengers that have made it to the rocky inlet.
Rocks at Jávea. The White Boat , Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida, 1905 – 1905, Владелец коллекции: Museo Carmen Thyssen Málaga.
Rocks at Jávea. The White Boat depicts a scene of the coast of Jávea, Spain with a white boat floating in the ocean. The painter uses very bright colors to highlight the rocks, and emphasize the clarity of the mediterranean. The brushstroke technique shows the water flowing and what looks like small waves.
The Rock of Salvation , Samuel Colman, 1780–1845, British, 1837, Владелец коллекции: Yale Center for British Art.
The Rock of Salvation depicts a scene that appears to be divided in half. On the right side the sky is a mixture of red, orange, and yellow. It has a deep red sun that looks like its setting down, and it is creating a red reflection over the water. On the left side the sky is blue with a few gray clouds, and a moon up high surrounded by stars. The reflection on this side of the water is a light blue from the moonlight. What separates these two sides is a tall rock in the middle and at the top appears to be a small cross. Colman is very detailed and delicate with the way he created the waves. The reflection on the water and the way he captures the light on them is what makes the waves look like they are in motion.
Believable Waves – Values #2
Here we are going to look at nearly the exact opposite. Say what?! Okay, stay with me. Let’s take a look together.
This wave is doing something different. First off, the red circle. Here the value is very light. How come? It is reflecting a brighter sky. The light, lilac color, is a reflection of the sky. The ripples are a darker blue. In the foreground, the lilac color returns in the reflection.
The yellow circle has a mid value, like before. The color is determined by the sand underneath – more on that soon.
The blue circle is darker value. We could argue that the blue circle value isn’t darker than the ripples in the red circle. It can be hard to tell. But here, the most important part is to think of the thickness of the wave. In the yellow circle, the water is shallow. As the wave rises up, it is because water is pushing the wave forward. And we are looking into the wave, into the thickness of the water.
Overall, all of the values in example #2 are HIGH KEY. This means they are are closer to white in value, then black in value.
Wave Colors – Example #1
The deep ocean is going to be the darkest value, as we just covered, but it is also going be the color that sets off your color plan. As you see through a wave, sometimes it becomes more yellow. (The sunlight is coming through the thickness of the wave.)
Returning to the first photo example:
The red circle is a dark value and a blue-green hue. As we add yellow to this color, we get the color in the yellow circle. The blue circle is more light than yellow. This particular hue can be made with a phthalo green (yellow shade) and a white.
Wave Colors – Example #2
As mentioned above, the red circle is very light in value, and lilac-feeling hue. (Pinkish purple). Using a magenta, or violet red, and a purple, mixed with white, you can get this color. The yellow circle is quite different. Here we have the tans of the sand showing though the water. Mix browns that are mostly to the yellow side. Add a touch of a turquoise, and you can achieve this.
