How to Paint an Ocean Wave in Oils - Complete Tutorial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 жов 2024
- This painting tutorial shows how to paint an ocean wave in oils on a round canvas. The original seascape painting "Dancing in the Moonlight" measures 20 inches in diameter and is available for sale on EvaVolfSeascapes.etsy.com
I used a reference photo of a breaking wave I took on a full moon night on Cape Hatteras in the Outer Banks, North Carolina.
Here I offer an insight into my technique and hope that my artist-friends will find this painting time-lapse useful or at least entertaining.
I used the following colors to create this ocean wave painting:
titanium white, phthalo blue, ultramarine blue, viridian and indigo. I also used Liquin as a medium and my favorite Princeton Brushes (Filberts and a Liner from Catalyst series), a fan brush, two old round bristle brushes and a wide bristle brush for blending.
This painting was created Alla Prima, in one sitting and took me about 3 hours to complete.
Soundtrack: Shimmering Waves by the Euclidean Stairway.

Thank you very much for watching! Hope you enjoy it!
Your support and encouragement are much appreciated!
I know what you mean when you say “know when to stop”.
I over did this one past the point of no return, but I like this pic so much I’m going to try to rescue it or start all over.
I’m working with acrylics, quick drying doesn’t help.
So thanks for a great tutorial Eva.😎🇦🇺🦘
Sublime !!!
Merci de nous en faire profiter.
Your painting of water is perfect, wonderful! Thank you so much for this video. I watch them over and over again. Still trying to be satisfied with my water. You make it so clear.
Glad to see someone else loves the ocean ! Great work Al

لوحةفنية جد رائعة يعجز التعبير عن وصفها
تمتعنا بهذا الفن الذي في قمة الجمال والابداع
Beautiful (as are all your other paintings). I have one question, if I may. just switched from Galkyd medium to Liquin (to see whether I like that better) and I have a hard time to adjust. I see you "dipping" your brush in a small container. Is that pure Liquin? I hope you do not mind asking..... trying to learn from the experts !!
LuckyDutchFishing yes, it’s pure Liquin, I also use Galkyd for this purpose and it’s absolutely fine, why did you switch? Both work great
@@EvaVolf Thanks for the quick response. As a beginner, I wanted to see how different both mediums behaved. I used Galkyd in combination with Gamsol to thin it a little and wondered whether Liquin would give me the same "control" (better/worse). Going to experiment a little more with both and will eventually stick to the one I like best (or perhaps not.......)
LuckyDutchFishing I recently tried Neo Megilp by Gamblin, it’s a good one, too. Increases transparency and flow, gives colors a satin gloss, dries at a moderate rate and remains workable for hours.
Hi Eva, this is sooo beautiful, did you wait till anything dried or did you paint it all in the 3 hrs?
Carole Woodford morning painted it all in one sitting
I have studied your wok for a long time now ! Question I love painting the Ocean . I can paint any subject but not really interested in anything to paint but the Ocean my friends always ask can you paint anything else, do you get that? Thanks Al
Yes, Al, all the time. I painted other subjects, horses, wildlife, florals. Now working with commissions I often paint boats, piers, palm trees, people on the beach, shells and everything beach related
Thanks for the video. If you are a woman Aivazovsky, with beautiful tassels create a masterpiece of seas and oceans, and a wave of The сбегающая BREG is broken on the rocks with noise by creating color paintings.
Александр Никитин thanks very much Alex!
thank you very. much
Love the blending of different blue shades , i find blending very tough in acrylic 😔, always messup with that .
rajan rawool I know, that’s the reason I don’t prefer oils. But I heard there’re some mediums improving blending of acrylics, you should google them and give them a try
Have you tried the Open Acrylics from Golden? They are amazing-takes a little practice and blending with the regular heavy body to figure out what works for you, but worth a try! Or you can use the Open as is to mimic oil.
Acrylic does dry quickly so couldnt blend
rajan rawool the Golden Open Acrylics stay wet for over 24 hrs(depending how much paint you layer). So, when you are working on your painting you have a lot more time to blend-
Ohh thats a nice information , thank you for valuable tip
We would love to hear your voice ♥️
How much the realy time you need to painting these withoute speed the video?
Eva, can you please show how to paint clouds - even using your fingers? I tend to do that too. Thanks.
Inji E check out my this video of mine ua-cam.com/video/613N22DPIxY/v-deo.html
Inji E there’re of course different types of clouds, but you’ll get the general idea
Inji E and this video shows how I finger painted the sky ua-cam.com/video/fsd9tHyVS-A/v-deo.html
