Beach Day: Acrylic Painting

via Skillshare

Overview

The ocean is a symbol of beauty, relaxation, and wonder.  Not only does the beach calm and rejuvenate us, but it also is a place where we have so many fond memories.  Painting the ocean is something artists want to do, yet capturing the mood and details of the sea can be a little confusing if you’re not sure where to start.

In this acrylic painting class, you'll learn how to create:

  • Waves
  • Reflections
  • Horizons
  • Sea foam
  • Sand
  • A simple, yet dynamic sky

No prior painting experience is required.  You’ll learn color mixing, how to work with the proper brushes, what paint is best, and how to troubleshoot if you goof up. I’ve seen new students make beautiful pieces because we go through the process step by step.  So take a creative vacation with me and I’ll see you inside the class!
