Painting Tips - Ocean Scenes
Lighting and movement are first considerations when becoming familiar with the action of the water. Make several sketches to
determine light and dark areas and to indicate the action of waves.
Below are listed links to several online demos on ocean painting.
Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

Instructions - The Lighthouse Scene
The approach used in this particular painting to indicate the ocean. See the list of sites listed below for further instruction on painting oceans and waves.
Sky colors:
Mix 1 - Cerulean Blue, White, and a touch of Payne's Gray.
When using acrylic paints, a retarding medium manufactured to be used with
your choice of acrylics can be added to slow down the drying time.
Working down toward the horizon, more white was added along with a touch of Cadmium Red Medium.
Ocean colors:
A touch of Cadmium Red Medium was added to Mix 1 to darken the ocean color.
While the paint was still wet, Mix 1 was then blended into the ocean coming forward. Small horiizontal strokes of white were used to indicate small waves which appear larger as they come nearer, as further objects appear smaller when drawn in perspective.
