The original seascape painting «Dances With Waves» measures 36x36 inches and is in a private collection now.
For inspiration and reference I used my friends (Mechelle Adelle) photo of a cloudy morning in Florida, but didnt stick to it, I simplified it and added a painterly touch.
Here I offer an insight into my technique and hope that all my artist-friends will find it useful or at least entertaining. Youre most welcome to try out some techniques I taught myself over the years.
I used only 4 colors to create this cloudy ocean waves painting: Ultramarine blue, Viridian, Burnt Sienna and Alizarin Crimson (and of course Titanium White). I also used Liquin as a medium.
I really love and recommend brushes from my favorite supplier Princetonbrush.com: several sizes filbert brushes from Aspen series, #9 Catalyst angle bright, 1/2" oval mop from Velvetouch series and 3" wide angle brush from Aspen series.
This painting took me 2 sessions x 4 hours and I let it dry completely in between them.
Hope you enjoy this tutorial! I am using acrylic paint to create a seascape on canvas.
