Learn how to paint seascapes with acrylics using techniques for color mixing, composition and paint application.

Learn to paint tranquil water and recreate the effect of reflected light with paint-layering techniques. Then, find out how to capture the movement of waves in impressive detail, whether you’re painting dynamic crashing waves or recreating the shape of rolling waves. Bring seaside landscapes to life as Tom helps you suggest atmospheric depth and recreate the texture of sand and rocks.
