This painting time lapse shows the process of creating my new large ocean oil painting «Beginnings». The original seascape painting measures 60x48 inches and is in private collection now.

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

I used a reference photo I took on a cloudy morning on Cape Hatteras in the Outer Banks, North Carolina.
Here I offer an insight into my technique and hope that all my artist-friends will find it useful or at least entertaining. I strongly urge you not to make copies of this painting for commercial use (as it is copyrighted) but youre most welcome to try out some techniques I taught myself over the years, like my absolute favorite one — finger painting the sky.
I used the following colors to create this moody ocean painting:
titanium white, ultramarine blue, viridian, burnt umber, Paynes gray, cadmium yellow, Prussian blue, a touch of premixed Portland warm gray (can be easily mixed). I also used Liquin as a medium. This painting took me 5 sessions x 4 hours and I let it dry completely in between them.
