How to Paint an EPIC SEASCAPE - Paint Epic Waves and Translucent Water - Painting Tutorial
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2024
- In this video, I show you how to paint an epic seascape featuring breaking waves, translucent water and a rocky foreshore. These are all great elements to include in a dramatic seascape painting.
I painted this artwork in oils but you can also use acrylics as the principles of colour and tone are exactly the same.
In the video I will explain the following:
1. Composition
2. Colours and brushes
3. Blocking in the painting
4. Tips on painting breaking waves, translucent water and rocks
5. Adding final details
If you would like to paint along with this, check out the link below for the written notes that accompany this video. Feel free to copy the painting and copy / use the reference photos that are in the written tutorial.

Hi there! Really love your work and really want to learn to paint seascapes! I just sent you an email but thought I'd try here as well. I'm very anxious to get started! lol I have some experience in acrylics but want to move into oils and really want to learn seascapes and you seem to have a good portfolio of seascape experience! For only $5 a month on Patreon I can get access to all of your seascape tutorials? - not just a random one every month? Also, do your patreon videos give step by step instructions without editing a bunch out? Thank you very much. I really appreciate your time! I'm very poor which is why I ask you these things! LOL Blessings, Tina.
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing. I have always had difficulty painting realistic-looking rocks. I am going to give your instructions a try.
Thank you for watching 😊
The moment you painted the first wave, I couldn't believe how two simple colors create such a realistic wave form.
Thank you so much 😊
Great video man, love the results 👌
Chuck Black Art two of my favorite artists supporting each other, watching you guys paint and improve brings a joy to my hearth
@@furkanguzeldulger3230 yes I agree 👍👍
Thanks mate 🙂
Im a great fan of ur art , u are an amazing artist!
Thanks Shahzad 😀
Your work is simply magnificent! Am so very glad I found your videos today. Have learned so much already, have taken copious notes and am grinning at the thought of painting rocks (which I normally run from). Thanks ever so much for your generosity in sharing with us. The sea is definitely ALIVE, and beautiful and I can smell the sea air!
Thanks Sunny 😊
Wow😲😮
Thanks 😊
🙋♀️👏👏👏👏👏From Rome.... Bye☺️

Samuel, I am a beginning artist coming from a family of artist and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your instruction. I have been struggling with color mixing and the way you explain how you are creating your colors has gotten me over my block. You are a natural talent as a teacher and I sincerely hope you get noticed by a major producer that can lead you to the next level.
Thanks Bruce, very much appreciated 😊
Thanks Samuel for the great instruction and taking the time to make this video for us!!!
Thanks John 🙂

Thank you so much Phil, glad you are enjoying the videos 😊
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your definition, colors you use and your description of your work. For the first time in over 5 years I have been able to paint realistic rocks. This is an amazing feat for myself and your clear, concise wordage helped me tremendously to accomplish this.
Thanks Sunny, that’s so awesome, glad you found the video helpful 😊

Thank you so much for answering me I will check them out on line and see if they ship to California. Kathy
Hey Kathy, I am pretty sure they will send them to the USA. They ship the brushes to me here in New Zealand. They even deduct the VAT is you live outside of the UK 😀
Soo good. Feeling inspired!
Wow iam lot learning bro ur painting was excellent master.
Thanks Laxmi 🙂
This was just a pleasure to watch - you make it look so easy!! What kind of medium do you like to use? Also, when you are adding the hazy part of the waves for the spray, is that a thinned down mixture like a glaze, or are you dry brushing a small amount of paint on to achieve that. Thanks!
Thanks Myrna, I use Liquin Original, mainly for convenience as I like the fast drying time. I dry brushed the sea spray on the painting so mediums used for the part 😊
Thanks Sam! very informative and easy to understand and follow. May I ask a question about black color mixing? in this video, you used ultramarine blue, burnt sienna and perylene crimson to form black color. In you revious videos, you mostly used ultramarine blue, burnt amber and quinacridone magenta to get black color. how do you decide which combination to use to get shadow or black colors? Absolutely enjoy your videos.
Hey, great question. In the past I used to use ultramarine blue and burnt umber to make black as the colours are dark in value but I haven't been using burnt umber so much as it can be a bit muddy sometimes. Lately I have just been mixing burnt sienna and ultramarine blue together to make black as burnt sienna is a dark orange and orange is opposite to blue on the colour wheel. The two colours cancel each other out to make a near black. Mixing in a crimson or a magenta adds a little violet to the mix but these colours are optional. I try and keep my colour mixes as simple as I can 😀
I really love this video I’ve watched multiple times trying to learn the process of the waves and rocks,wish me luck I’m painting a picture now with the foam. Could you tell me where you buy your daggers brushes,the half and quarter inch brushes with long handles I’ve looked everywhere I know to look. I like how they are smaller on the tip instead of long and stringy. Thank you Kathy
Thanks so much Kathy. I buy all of my brushes from Rosemary and Co., which are a UK based company. They ship brushes all over the world. Those dagger brushes I am using are called Ivory Daggers. Click the website link below 😊

When is your video on oceans coming out. I really love your seascapes. Thank you Kathy
Hey Kathy, sorry for the late reply. I am in the process of painting and filming some seascapes at the moment which I was going to make into full length videos. Actually it would be cool to get some feedback from you, would you prefer one long video of me painting a seascape or me painting a couple of smaller seascapes but both featured in the one saleable video...or I could do both. Let me know what you think 😊
New here. Love your seascapes so much! Wondering if you would do any underwater type paintings? Thank you
Yeah I would actually, thats given me something to think about. Welcome aboard 😀
Samuel Earp Artist yay 💕
Wonderful job Sam. .How cool of you to say ,"copying every step and using your photos is all good" at the beginning of each of your videos.only a kind hearted person can say that. Blessings 💖
Thanks Anshu 😊
Hello, I don´t speak english and I use a traslator. I have a doubt , what is the first base of brown paint on the canvas? Thank you very much, I love your videos. Greetings from Spain.
Great Video many thanks - do you use any Medium on this ?
Thanks Paul. I just use Liquin Original to thin the paint and it’s speeds up the drying time too 😊
Hi Sam, i’m see you from Mexico, and I like you show us the name of yours Colors in the moment you are used, not only say them when you describe in the moment you are painting. I am sorry for my english. Tks.
Hi from Turkey, i learned lots of things about painting.... can you teach us how to draw a boat scassfolding, harbour .... i will be gratefull.
Hello, I have just moved to an area with a harbour close by so yes I will go out and paints some boats and I’ll make a video on it 😊
Sam what size of canvas do you use and I can’t find your Patreon site can you help me so I can buy your video. Thank you Kathy
Hey Kathy, thanks for watching. The canvas size I used for this painting was 16" x 20" (40cm x 50cm).

I LOVE YOUR PAINTINGS. I GET SO MUCH OUT OF YOUR FINE INSTRUCTIONS. ON THE DEMO OF EPIC SEASCAPE, SHOULDN'T YOUR HORIZON LINE BE COMPLETELY LEVEL. UNLESS IT'S AN OPTICAL ILLUSION, IT'S OFF A BIT. KEEP YOUR SEASCAPES COMING. I CAN'T GET ENOUGH FROM ALL OF YOUR GREAT DEMOS. WARMEST REGARDS TO YOU,
BILL TARN, CONNECTICUT USA
Thanks Bill, I always paint my horizon lines free hand in my seascape, but my hand isn’t that steady for some reason. I still prefer to paint the horizon free hand as I feel it has a more painterly effect. I still like to maintain a bit of fluidity and looseness to my paintings. Thanks for subscribing 😊
How about a basic seascape
Yes, I’ll be making some videos on this. My ideas in mind...a close up of breaking wave for example? 😊
