Painting a large atmospheric seascape in oils

Картинка Жизнь

This painting tutorial shows the process of creating a large atmospheric oil painting.
Here I offer an insight into my technique and share the painting tips I learned over the years, like painting the glitter with a palette knife or flicking the brush to create the splashing effect.
Hope you will find it useful or at least entertaining.
The original seascape painting «Vision» measures 48x48 inches and is available for sale on EvaVolfSeascapes.etsy.com
I used only four oil colors to create this tender purple seascape:
titanium white, ultramarine blue, burnt umber and alizarin crimson (any red will do). I chose purple as a dominant color, brown as complementary and white as an accent.
I also used Liquin Original as a medium, but any oil or mineral spirits will do.
This painting took me 2 sessions x 4 hours and I let it dry completely for a week in between them.
I used a reference photo from a hazy morning in the Outer Banks, North Carolina.

Please note: any paintings created using my tutorials are not viable to sell. This is a copyright issue.

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.
