Do you want to paint beautiful realistic seascapes in Acrylics? Then this class is for you.

In this class, I'll show you my process of painting a realistic seascape and teaching you the techniques of creating layers and textures for creating waves and rocks on the beach.

In this class, you will learn about:

• How to build up different layers for painting a landscape/seascape
• How to create the wave lines in a realistic way
• How to create rocks on the beach and add light & shadow to give the 3D look
• How to paint the beach and add textures of sand
• My complete painting process from start to finish

Materials:

1. Acrylic Paints
2. Canvas Paper / canvas board / stretched canvas / wood
3. Brushes - 1 flat brush and 1 small round brush for detail work

5. Water
6. Tissue paper

Colors I used in this class:

1. Titanium White

By the end of this class you should feel confident in your ability to create this painting and also any other seascape paintings.

I recommend this class for everybody - no prior art experience is necessary. If u haven't painted in a long time and wanting to brush up your skills or if u haven't found anyone to mentor you in your creative journey,  or if you are not sure you will be able to paint, or if you just want to paint pretty seascapes just to feel good - this class is for you.

Look forward to seeing you in the class
