[@MelissaR784]

One of the best, most detailed tutorials I've ever watched.

[@HeatherHogue73]

As a frustrated painter attempting to paint waves, seas, this video is exceptional in its instruction. Just wish mine would turn out this well. Thank you for rendering a much clearer picture. Your talent is without a doubt one of the best.

[@b.barbin4735]

This is simply unbelievable! This is exactly how the waves look in the ocean. I've drawn oceans before, but the depth and splashes of foam were flat. Thank you for this demonstration, though I will have to watch it a zillion more times!😅❤

[@eduardoberrios7617]

I'm 68 years old being painting since a kid love art .but you gave me so much knowledge in this tutorial .I'm so great full and may god gives you lot's of blessing and THANK YOU So MUCH . Puerto Rico and Bronx ,NYC loves you.

[@boubacarciremeni4409]

You are literally the best painting teacher i have come across in youtube.Thank you for giving the effort

[@archanaaggarwal2064]

I agree

[@hisakonishiwaki3639]

Ya me too it’s awesome

[@milvolts1]

Indeed this has been the best wave tutorial by a long shot. The arrow diagrams were the game changer. Thanks man! Salud..🍻

Have you checked out "Stay Creative Painting" by Ryan O'Rourke? If not check him out.. he is damn good..

[@c.retana-holguin8318]

Thank you for this! A friend of mine paid me to paint a seascape six months ago; the hardest part has not been the ship or sky, but the waves. I have painted my ocean four times--last night was the fourth time going back and just readding the base colors in order to start new again. With these four steps you have created and your explanation, I feel I can successfully go back and finish.

[@tinykitchenbigflavor7142]

I'm 65 and my curiosity about painting was sparked by a painting I had seen. I have been working on a painting with mountains in the background a body of water which to was just too bland I couldn’t wrap my head around what was not working for me. I knew there was something wrong, yesterday I painted over the island along with the trees in the little house, and covered it white paint and decided to paint the sea water bland I couldn’t wrap my head around. I knew there was something wrong yesterday I took the whole island off along with the trees in the little house, and we painted that white and decided to just paint athe seawen I can across this tutorial and while I am totally and oddly intimidated, I am going to give this a try is the best explanation I have seen I don’t know what’s gonna come out but I know I’m gonna give it a go. Thank you for the time spent in for how well you explained everything and calmly you didn’t rush through. I appreciate you for that, fingers crossed if I do a quarter of the job that you did I'll be thrilled?.

[@vivekvenkatraman9416]

Your painting is like meditation along with ur exquisite voice guidance. You make it look simpler but obviously it isn’t

[@starandswords]

And they say you can't create dynamic paintings using acrylics....boy have my art teachers been wrong! This is brilliant. Thank you for sharing this image and your techniques. #teamacrylicpaint

[@SeanMahoneyfitnessandart]

If you want to see amazing acrylics check out Ryan O'Rourke... he is straight up Goals.

[@tetianaadamska177]

Прекрасна робота! Морські хвилі, надзвичайно реалістичні!

[@vickyfridman5525]

I paint seascapes all the time but you gave me so much information. You rock! Congratulations 🎉

[@ginitaprofitt4065]

Wonderful instructor, thank you for your detailed explanation on warming up the colors and where to do so. Truly this has inspired me to try painting waves! God bless you.

[@decalpals8496]

Your instruction is the best I've ever seen and I've watched countless videos in the 40+ years I've been watching painting/art videos. Thank you so much for such a valuable tool for artists, both experienced and new to the medium.

[@sheilaharrington-shaw6793]

Hi, I've never watched such an instructive tutorial before and I would like to thank you for it. I've only been painting for 9 months and had no training at all. But I have been getting quite a bit of feedback from a local artist who is kind enough to. He said I'm doing really well but that on every painting I've done the water work lets me down. So I've spent 2 days now finding tutorials that will help me improve my self. I found yours and I'm ecstatic as this is just what I'm looking for . Thank you for sharing Sheila 💙

[@99treasures1]

This by far is one of the BEST instructional videos on ocean waves thank you!!!

[@cami..o]

So I'm sitting here painting a picture of waves and struggling... so I go on KZbin to get some ideas and WHAT DO YOU KNOW! You are painting the EXACT same picture as me! I'm 100% sure we are using the same reference photo..... yours is so much better than mine though....

[@shreyab25]

I wish mine was same as his too😔 I'm stuck and I cant do anything, his this video is very helpful

[@nightynightshade]

I LOVE SYNCHRONIZATION SO MUCH! I’m sure your painting turned out beautifully!

[@deborahrech7429]

What a wonderful lesson! Thank you. I live near the ocean and want to learn to paint it but didn't know where to start. I love the dynamic movement that you have captured. Thank you for the clear step-by-step instruction and working in sections approach. Can't wait to try this.😌

[@gladysradke5507]

this is just the right image i have in my head of how i wanted to paint what i feel right now. ive never actually painted before so this is very helpful to start !

[@KR-zg5uo]

I cant imagine the amount of waves you had to study to learn your shapes and values. Great work

[@debbiebell7455]

So informative and helpful for beginners. Thank goodness for the pause button and the three-dot above where you can slow down the tutorial. I also do a screenshot for the directional paint strokes for future reference. Most of my painting is from KZbin tutorials and it’s instructors like you that make us beginners look good. Thanks so much. Debbie from Arkansas

[@ruthgraham1239]

What a great tutorial! There are points in the process I 'lost' the picture and it looked rubbish. Then it came back again with a new addition and some more detail. Then it went again and I lost heart. But I took my time and persevered and the result was actually fabulous. It's now framed and on my partner's wall. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and skill.

[@jeanettenugent9377]

This was a great tutorial which gave space for the student to develop skills. No you didn’t go through every single stage which would possibly be hard if this was you first time with acrylic. However I am trying to improve and find my own way so I liked your tutorial style which left me to work out how to mix some colours or when to start glazing etc. I really felt that I was starting to get the hang of painting a sea and can use this help in painting something from scratch. Thank you.

[@gayarmentrout3998]

I really appreciate your attention to detail and the way you are able to communicate. I'm definitely going to try this one. Thank you for sharing.

[@reneerussell8894]

Been looking for a you tube video that actually teaches you how to do ocean waves and FINALLY I found you ! Been at this for weeks now . I know mine won’t be as perfect as yours , but I have learned a lot from your tutorial . Thanks so much for your wonderful teaching skills and I look forward to watching more of your beautiful paintings and hopefully learning more !

[@anuk7473]

I tried doing this today..only because of your amazing teaching points I was able to complete it.. thank you so much!

[@TheTerrylwg]

A million thanks for this!!! I've never seen such a great and USEFUL demonstration! This is SOOOOO helpful!

[@thevirtualinstructor]

You bet T! Thanks so much!

[@deblee172]

Matt- that was awesome! I've always wondered how those scary waves got painted. Thank you!

[@thevirtualinstructor]

Thanks Deb!

[@sarapatrick4027]

This is FANTASTIC!!! I have tried so many tutorials where ALL the work is done while the paint is wet. I got so frustrated I just steered away from art. You are an excellent teacher, especially for beginners like me who get frustrated and overwhelmed! Thank you kindly 🥰

[@tomaszwotlinski2797]

Just love your videos. Thanks to you i got inspired to use different mediums but also start drawing things I thought were too difficulty for me. Thank you!!!!

[@laranamagica7826]

That paint it's amazing, I learn a lot about acrylics and I'm ready to paint for first time. Thanks for share your talent with us, kisses! ♥️

[@valerieaudino6684]

Thank you so much! I see how to improve my ocean now! Your ocean is lovely!!!❤❤

[@GloriaQuansah]

Thank you so much!! This tutorial was SO helpful!!! I’m so happy with how my painting turned out🥹

[@timk.1395]

I followed your tutorial on Photoshop and it turned out awesome! I learned a lot, thank you so much!

[@tsmart727]

Thanks for sharing your creative techniques and generous teaching methods. I look forward to more of your great presentations, I've certainly learned a lot.

[@ushar4332]

wow.... absolutely great! Detailed demo is extremely useful to all the art lovers. A true teacher 🙏🏻❤

[@Shetan258]

Thanks for the help. I think we used the same reference photo, but I saw the foreground as rock. I kept referring back to you. I had to use my phone for the pic, my computer does not print out good photos, but I was happy with the result. Thanks for your calm teaching style.

[@carolschultz1058]

Love the detailed explanation of this painting, thank you! 👍

[@thevirtualinstructor]

You bet Carol! Thanks so much.

[@laurenbendik2006]

very good!! it's so true what u said....im very impatient as a "beginner" (technically been painting for years but not consistently) and have trouble with the beginning stages, worrying it wont look good.

[@sarapatrick4027]

Same! So much so I quit painting within two months! I want to paint a picture for my partner for our anniversary with water. This was the perfect thing to see to get me back into it!

[@leehill7598]

Excellent instructions in your video 😊

[@archanaaggarwal2064]

[@juels_71]

Fabulous tutorial and a beautiful picture. When you did the foreground, you can see a white horses head, it's the way the colour has formed. It's on the right hand side.. would love to see if anyone else can see it ..xx

[@crysallis543]

Love it, Matt! Am a member and am on holiday atm and can’t access your lessons so your stuff on you tube is next best thing.

Thank you for making this video!

[@nopseudosleft56]

Great video, thanks! I'm subscribing😊😊

[@odetteturcotte4729]

I have started an acrylic ink sea storm painting and totally messed up the big wave which i did with paste and acrylic paint. . I'm gonna try to apply your teaching but mmmm not sure of the result! Your waves are absolutely alive and beautiful!! Thank you very much for the great lesson. i was hoping that you would've explain the mixture of paint and if there is some parts that you wait for it to dry before proceeding. Can't put all in one lesson i guess. Thank you

[@spring258]

Great lesson! Thank you!

[@viktoriyamelnichenko4683]

Amazing!!

[@thevirtualinstructor]

GREAT VIDEO! ❤️❤️❤️ THANK YOU!

[@robertomontero9457]

Beautiful demonstration👏

[@muneeb2010]

I’m just amazed to find you. There are many good teachers for oils but acrylic not so much. One question, why your paint isn’t drying so quickly as mine does.

[@marnosol6877]

Beautiful.

[@KristyLynchTidesofsiren]

Well explained! Ty😄

[@firstcoffeeoftheday]

[@sleepy3998]

After 2 hours of work, I finally managed to give the illusion that my painting was done by a three year old seal.

[@J4sp]

Amazing, Matt. Is there anything you can't paint? After this ocean scene I don't think so.
