Eva Volf I’m a learner ,I love your painting sooo much too beautiful.. I try to learn from u , can I ask u how long to take u to finish this pic like this size?

[@EvaVolf]

@@chensherria4363 Thank you! This painting took me 5 sessions x 4 hours and I let it dry completely in between them.

[@pintusaha5443]

Very nice painting

[@crystalmarroquin777]

Thanks for answering that question

[@sharigaunt5599]

My wife (Shari) liked to paint. She did it as a hobby and was learning. She didn't have the chance to find her niche' before passing but I know she loved the beach. She would've loved watching this. Thank you for the memories. ~Greg

Thank you

[@randysmith1723]

I don't think there are adequate words in my vocabulary that express my appreciation for your work, that compare to what you express with paint on canvas. This, in my opinion, is your best yet! I watch a LOT of painters on KZbin, mostly oil and watercolor, and some acrylic, but always looking for insights and inspiration. You are exceptional, and I hope you continue sharing your work with us for many years to come! Thank you!

[@EvaVolf]

Randy Smith your kind words made my day, Randy! Thank you for your encouragement!

[@jimharrison748]

At the end you say thank you for watching, think I'm right in saying it's us to be thanking you. Such a joy and privilege to watch your artwork evolve from start as naturally in to so much beauty. I'm so grateful for your descriptions of materials and methods too it never fails to inspire to create and share. I love painting the ocean too and it always captivates me but in my 58 years I've never saw a more talented and generous teacher.

Simply beautiful. I feel like I could walk into that painting ,and thank you for sharing your incredible talent with us. You inspire me to try to paint.🙂 I guess I need to go buy some paints first 😂

[@EvaVolf]

Thank you, sweetheart! Give it a try but beware: it's addictive: once you start painting, you can't give it up.

[@peterelmer9114]

Eva Volf ; you’re the first painter I’ve heard mention the addictiveness of painting - it is indeed and I now don’t feel so alone with my addiction. A lovely painting - seascapes are my passion too 👍

[@EvaVolf]

Peter Elmer of all the addictions, I think it’s the most harmless one

As you painted, it was as though the beach and ocean beyond, was just outside your home/studio. Beautiful work!

[@EvaVolf]

I appreciate it! So glad you enjoyed watching it!

[@IDOSuarez]

Awesome work! Just one question, do you paint over the fresh oil? Or wait for it to dry? And if so, how does the previous layer doesn't mix with the new one?

[@lukezandvliet2294]

It was just great.

[@EvaVolf]

Glad you liked it!

[@EvaVolf]

Glad I could help!

[@engineerauthorpilot]

I believe this is the best video I've seen by you. It seemed you did more explaining of the details. I like that. It would be great if you could create some short videos (normal speed) on a few of your techniques, ie: ripples in water, intricate foam patterns, cloud layering, blending, etc. Btw, how long did this painting take you? A painting like this would take me months 😟

[@EvaVolf]

CD P I’ll consider doing shorter real time videos. This painting took me 5 sessions x 4 hours, and I let it dry in between them.

Thanks for reminding me that you CAN paint with your fingers! LOL Many of us get "stuck" in brushes and proper implements, but you can use whatever gets the job done.

Exactly! You’re most welcome

[@EvaVolf]

Thanks for watching Kathy, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. it took me 5 sessions x 4 hours (because it's a huge canvas), I let it dry a day in between (with Liquin oils dry faster)

[@katbot2190]

@@EvaVolf Thank you for replying. I will have to try out Liquin oils. I don't like waiting days for oils to dry. I'm 58 now and have recently taken up my brush and paints. I'm grateful to all the videos here on youtube. I really enjoyed watching your whole video.

[@sleepy__4203]

this was super helpful to figure out the fundamentals to painting the ocean i've always had trouble with the always changing indefinite shapes and the color tones so having this was an amazing tool

[@EvaVolf]

So happy you found my video helpful! Wonderful!

[@AlexanderLennox]

Truly amazing she is a great artist . Being in this lockup situation I have been try to turn my hand to painting, having seen this video however, I shall go out to my garden shed to morrow take my paintings and make a bonfire, thank you.

[@EvaVolf]

Hi Alexander, the main thing is to enjoy the process of painting, it really helps relieve stress if you don’t expect to create a masterpiece every time. For every good painting I have 2 not so good ones that no one sees, often I sand them and paint over them, reusing the canvases or just fix older pieces I don’t like anymore if they’re fixable.

[@rivajoz]

Your painting transported me to the very moment and place that I could almost smell and feel the sticky and salty sea breeze....you have the perfect inspiration of an artist!

This foam is the most important thing. Hardly anyone can faithfully reproduce sea waves. Especially on the high seas. And here it is as it should be. Super !
