This is a beautiful painting Patrick. For me painting water in the studio is tough, but plein-air....whew!!!!

[@patrickokra]

Thank you!

[@Kateisaacsonart]

Thanks for sharing, love your waves and explanation. I live by the beach so I’ll give it a go.

[@patrickokra]

Thank you!

[@paintingsofwaves_mikewoning]

I love painting waves! I also love plein air painting. But for some reason, I've never combined the two... this inspired me to give it a go! Cheers

[@patrickokra]

Go for it!

Thank you so much for sharing these tips, I learned so much! Waves are incredibly difficult for me but I am enjoying the process of learning to paint them better.

[@patrickokra]

You are so welcome!

I agree about fractals. Reminds me of Under the Wave Off Kanagawa aka The Great Wave.

[@patrickokra]

Thanks Daniel!

[@EricKarbeling]

this is so great man - been learning to oil paint and getting my plein air set up together and this helps a ton!

[@patrickokra]

Glad it helps!

[@tjs9876]

That was inspiring man

[@patrickokra]

Thanks!

[@daleshawn1910]

Very helpful. Thank you!

[@patrickokra]

Glad it was helpful!

[@arachosia]

Beautiful! Yeah, painting waves en plein air is a huge challenge. I came to the conclusion that the only way to really pull it off is to study wave anatomy in the studio.

[@patrickokra]

Agreed!

[@faleravanbalen8175]

Very well explained!! A video full of useful tips🌿What do you think would be the difference in lighting in different parts of the world, particularly the seascape changing too?

[@patrickokra]

Thanks! I think it’s mostly due to the atmosphere- being in the water generally the atmosphere is a little mistier. Maybe because of salt too

[@emilyneel]

Extraordinarily beautiful! Would you mind sharing your palette? Specifically the blue in the far water- I’m guessing cerulean blue hue (looks like you may have a little phthalo in your cerulean bc of the amped up turquoise blue) rather than cerulean genuine, or maybe it’s a completely different blue? Anyway, one of the best seascapes videos I’ve seen. Thanks for sharing.

[@patrickokra]

I had ultramarine, cobalt, viridian and van dyke brown on my palette! Mixing viridian and cobalt gets you very close to cerulean

[@JaredBrady]

great video man!!

[@patrickokra]

Thanks a lot dude!

[@Beti_Art]

Great video! I also enjoy plein air painting :) You have a new subscriber fellow artist :)

[@patrickokra]

Thank you so much 😀

[@RaymondThePainter]

What do you do with the corners of the painting where the clips are holding the panel in place? Do you cover them up with a specifically sized frame or do you just color match paint over them later?

[@patrickokra]

I just color match them later usually

[@RaymondThePainter]

@@patrickokra Alright

[@melindagraham519]

What size canvas would you recommend for someone just getting started plein air painting?

[@patrickokra]

I find 9x12’s to be really convenient, but maybe consider 5x7’s. Working small helps you get a lot of reps in, important for beginners!
