Painting The Southwest Seascape by Andrew Tischler

In this Seascape painting tutorial: I break the entire process down into sections, and we’ll talk about many of my tricks and techniques for creating a realistic seascape.

There’s nothing more dramatic than a thrashing seascape. This scene depicts the turbulent ocean complete with monumental waves breaking against rocks. In this 2-hour demonstration we’ll discuss some essential painting techniques for rocks and water rich with light and atmosphere!

One of my favourite things to paint is light glowing through a breaking wave as I think it’s an extraordinary effect that nature creates. The question is: how do we recreate that with paint? Well, in this tutorial we’ll discuss just how to do that and much more!

When a wave breaks against a massive rock it shatters into a delicate spray. So in this painting tutorial you will learn how I achieved this effect and also my painting techniques for this dramatic sky!
