Painting a Stormy Sea with Acrylics

[@H4me7215]

Wowzer! My first lesson sir. I loved the mediums you used n especially the medium you used half way. But of course i will have to see again and take notes. Very pretty ocean! Thank you.❤

[@CynthiaJKress]

Wow Dave! You just explained how I used to wonder how to get the transparency of the yellow-green color in the crest of the waves. Been considering how to do that but never quite got it... You're a gem! Thank you

[@JansenArtEducation]

Hurray! So glad this lesson helped you learn an effective technique. 😊

[@TeemuSintonen]

Love that you went for grey clouds this time! Really highlights the white and blue in the ocean! Absolutely stunning! ❤

[@JansenArtEducation]

Clouds! Always different. Always changing. So glad you are loving them too! 😊

[@noreenmirza7815]

Wow wow I want to watch this tutorial endlessly. I have learnt so much. I don't know if I ever will be able to emulate it but it's so satisfying to watch the ocean waves come to life.

[@doinadidi]

Thank you for your beautiful and skilful art lessons. It brings joy to my soul and hope that one day, with enough practice and patience I will be able to paint like this. Greetings from Bucharest, Romania.

[@JansenArtEducation]

Thank you for your very kind words. Painting brings our family so much joy too! We are so glad you are painting with us... in Bucharest! 😊

[@connierenner744]

Love the colors of your ocean thank you beautiful

[@JansenArtEducation]

We loved working all the colors together. It was so much fun. And the sky! We never get tired of painting skies! So glad you are painting with us! 😊

[@nancyspaulding2012]

Yay... I've been waiting for an ocean painting. I eventually will add a Big ship on one. (hopefully) Thank you!!

[@JansenArtEducation]

Great idea, Nancy. Will the ship be up close, mid-field or on the horizon? I love how this lesson is leading you to your next goal. 😊

[@nancyspaulding2012]

@@JansenArtEducation I think about midfield. I want to be able to see some of the details on the ship and the sails. Have kind of big waves splashing the bow. To show that it's under way. It's in my head, getting it on canvas will take some patience. 😊

[@jasonstreet_art]

Love this

[@JansenArtEducation]

I too love to see the movement of water come alive as I put accents here and there. 😊

[@beenasibi5971]

I love this one! I'm a little behind on vids. Life has knocked us for a loop but I just need to roll with the punches! I'm gonna try to do something similar because a stormy scene has mesning with my current situations

[@JansenArtEducation]

We love how art can reflect and heal life's challenges. Glad you found meaning. And glad you are finding your way back. 😊

Oh and Hi Jessica!

[@carolhestand2561]

Didn't think of sealing a layer to wipe back, that's good. I've sealed a pencil sketch before. Thanks!

Hello Carol. So glad the sealing technique is helpful. Happy painting!! 😊

[@JansenArtEducation]

Hello! We list links to all the products in the description below the video lesson. Amazon and JansenArtStore.com ship internationally. If you still need help, please write us at: [e-mail] 😊

[@sheilapye5317]

Fascinating how the tones come alive with such beautiful interest David! Love the idea of glazing initially too. Many thanks! Some day I'm wondering if you could include a few distant birds flying in the sky as that's something I have not tackled yet.♥🥀

[@JansenArtEducation]

Great idea, Sheila. We will look into creating a lesson on how to include birds in the background for interest. 😊

[@jasonstreet_art]

I can't remember if you had met Helen Vanwyk? She's also been on my KZbin rotation.

[@JansenArtEducation]

Hi Jason! No, we did not get to meet Helen. However, David has studied her techniques and lessons. Her knowledge was inspiring. Her lesson, timeless. So glad you know about her too. MJ 😊

[@denmorris8384]

What exactly is the acrylic sealant that was used? Can't find it at your art store unless it has a different name?

[@JansenArtEducation]

[@kdj.imagery4317]

Awesome painting! When you talk about extender is that a medium that thins paint so it dries faster, and open medium is a retarder that slows drying? Also, are you using soft or heavy body paint, or both? Cheers

[@JansenArtEducation]

Both Extender and Open Medium slow down the drying time of the paint. Many painting techniques use consistency of the paint to achieve the technique. I like Extender in shadows because shadows in alla prima techniques should be more transparent, thin. I like Open Medium in highlights where you using the paint heavier and more opaque.. Both slow down the drying time.
