Painting Waves Tutorial

Have you ever wanted to paint dramatic GLOWING WAVES?

PAINTING WAVES is packed full of essential seascape painting techniques. In this presentation, I will walk you through the steps as I create not one, but two hyper-realistic oil paintings. You’ll not only gain insights into the process from start to finish, but you’ll learn the methodology in which I create my paintings. This will be something you can adapt and mould to fit your own projects!
 
Painting water in dynamic motion poses many visual challenges. With the right guidance and information, you’ll be handling seascapes like a pro! This tutorial is not only for small to medium-sized paintings – you can use this information for EPIC studio paintings as well!
 
I talk in detail about the materials I use, showing you the exact photo references that inspired the scene. In three distinct phases we flesh out the scene with a block-in layer, then elaborate with our modelling,  then finally we add those lush details over the top, to make the painting come to life!
 
Here, I break down my entire process from the very beginning, in the design phase. We then work the design up into a small oil study then a digital design. With the groundwork firmly established I take you with me from the very first strokes all the way to the crispy final details!
 
If you ever wanted to create a wave painting rich with detail, light, depth and movement, this is for you!
