New to your channel! WOW just gorgeous!
Thank you for sharing your talents.
Thank you Michelle!!!
This is a Great presentation, thank you for sharing.🇨🇦🙏
It was my pleasure Claude, thank you for watching!!
I really like that you show the brush’s size and type and discuss what colors you mix together. That is very helpful for me. And, I am really grateful that you are painting with acrylics!...it seems most painters show videos of oil paints, and so it is hard to find good teaching videos in acrylic, so thank you again for that. 👍😄
It’s my pleasure Jauhara, I’ll do more acrylics!!
Love your work and patience in tutoring me I am challenged by your artwork ..please do more paint brushes to use too
Thank you very much Cynthia, will do, there is more brush work on my more recent videos!
Lovely painting. I like how you explain everything so well. Thank you for making this video available on UA-cam, much appreciated. Best wishes..David ..UK.
Thank you very much David, I’ll try and produce more videos for you guys!!!
that was helpful in many ways, thanks. I don't know how you're keep your paint on the pallet so wet, mine seams to dry out much faster. It looks almost like an oil panel. also, you seem to use a lot of mostly water in the paint. I had heard from one of the paint manufacturers representatives to be careful about how much water you use, for a few reasons, including that acrylic has a binder for the pigment and too much water effects that process negatively. Also, longevity issues. So curious about your experiential comments on that.
Hi Chris, glad the video was able to help some! About the water, yes, it is correct that too much water will somewhat weaken the bond structure in the binder but I don’t use as much water on my brush as you think! I actually keep it just damp, just enough to make it flow easier. And when I glaze i do the same thing, and I put just enough paint on my brush to cover what’s needed and wipe off the excess while the paint on the canvas is still damp, and that will show like a glazing effect! You can also purchase glazing medium if that helps. Thus far I haven’t had any problems with paint coming off or flaking off, or peeling! With time and practice you’ll be able to gauge the amount of water. Let me know if you want to know anything else! Thank you for watching!!
I love the picture but I wish you would tell us what color you are going to use before you use it. You started do that 1/2 way through. Would love to see the mixing process also. Beautiful picture!
Thank you Deborah, it’s an older video when I started out, my newer videos show the mixing and explanation!
Very detailed and friendly tutorials. Xllent help for beginners. Thanks million. Love and regards. Q. U use open acrylics?
Thank you Mohammed!! I used regular heavy body acrylics.
Just found you on UA-cam. I love your work and your teaching style. Just great! What size canvas do you tend to use?
Thank you very much! I tend to use 8x10’s for demo’s and for sale!
Thank you for your detailed explanation on painting a seaside scene. I always find it difficult to paint it so now l will use this to do it.
Thank you very much Valencia, glad I was able to help!!
If you show the palette, we can see how you make the mixtures. Thank you
I do on my more recent videos!
I am new here and loving your channel. This painting is so realistic. You are a wonderful teacher, thank you so much for helping teach us beginners!
Thank you so much 😀!!!
Very nice video, but my English is poor and I got lost with the color😌
Sorry Christine!!
This is beautiful, and you make it look so easy. I will definitely try this tutorial. Thank you so much!
Thank you very much Kittima!!!
I really enjoyed your explanations of how and why you were doing things! Thank you
My pleasure Paula, thank you for watching !!!
I've never tried oils, but love painting with acrylics so this demo was such a help to me. Wonderful painting! Thanks.
Thank you for watching Lesley!!!
Excellent a pleasure to watch loved the waves painting l have learnt so much in these tutorials thank you
i like the way you take it slow and just use a basic palette, i have a very similar photo i wanted to paint so i rushed out and bought cobalt turquoise and cobalt teal and pthalo turquoise thinking it would be easy i never knew you could paint the sea with cadmium red and yellow ochre, so ive binned my first attempt, put the new paints to the back of the cupboard and starting again
Thank you for watching Lynn!! There is a whole range of colors you can achieve with a limited palette. I would keep pthalo blue and ultramarine blue, those two colors can reach a wide range of colors! And by keeping a limited palette you will achieve colors harmony and learn how to mix a variety of colors as well !
Just found you recently and love the Florida landscapes you do. I'm going to attempt one with Ibis and Sabal palms.
Thank you Joe, have at it !! Let me know if you need help.
Beautiful. I like your tutorial. You explain really well. Specially what colors you mixed. Thank you so much
My pleasure, thank you very much for watching!!!
I recently rediscovered your site. Beautiful work and tutorials. The concept of illusion made me think a lot. I’m a beginner but am going to try. Also find the birch panel very interesting. Thanks for your efforts!
Thank you very much Rodney!!!
Great as always , I have watched your tutorial a few times,,I do really enjoyed them,.I am learning paint in acrylic,.thank you very much!
Thank you very much for watching Fiona !! I’ll be doing more in acrylics!

Excellent tutorial ❗️you made it sound so easy, anyone who struggles with painting seascapes; will find this video very helpful & encouraging thank you for sharing your awesome arts work.
Thank you very much Lawrence!!!
Just found you recently and love the Florida landscapes you do. I'm going to attempt one with Ibis and Sabal palms.
Have at it Kerrie!! Enjoy the process and worry about messing up, just keep loose!
Amazing work! What do you use to retard the drying this much?
Thank you Li, I just use water, nothing else. I will have a video on a mixture I’ve been using lately that’s been working great, almost like painting with oils!
do you make instructional dvds that are available to purchase
I’m sorry Phyllis, I don’t! Thank you for asking!!
I’ll have more videos out for you hopefully soon!
TY
I appreciate the sharing of thought as you work..
My pleasure Roxanna!!!
Love this, thank you 🙏
Thank you Jaqueline!!!
When you say the birch panel is triple primed, is that with gesso ?
It can be with Gesso, but if I remember, I used Kilz 2 sealer/primer from any big box store! Works great. But if you use gesso, use at least 3 coats. You can also use Shellac to seal the wood and then gesso .
That’s great info - many thanks .
@@robinbest4786 anytime!!!
Hello, Thank you so much. I love all your videos and artwork! It is so generous of you to share your work, painting tecniques and even your brushes which is so helpful. I think it's amazing you can talk us through your colours, mixing and blending while creating such wonderful paintings. Xxx
Thank you so much Laura!!
Although I paint in oils (beginner), I really enjoyed watching your tutorial. You described every step of the painting so well, including the names of colours used at every stage and your glazing technique ( in oil it would be liquin i believe). As an amateur in this field, I'm so hungry for good guidance and am fascinated with seascapes. I am lucky to live in Scotland by the sea with plenty subjects to paint and thank you very much for the effort you have taken in posting this video on UA-cam. I see you have other videos out there. I can't wait to watch them!! A big thumbs up!!!
Thank you very much, and I’ll try to incorporate more oil videos as well since there seems to be a demand! Thank you for watching!!
@@GebahiArtworks Yes, I noticed that your oil videos seem to get more views and likes. But, I hope you continue with the acrylics too as it is hard to find good instruction in acrylic painting.
Chris W I’m actually happy to hear that, my channel will be dominant with acrylic painting tutorials! I’ll do oils once in a while!
Thanks for quick reply.
Any time
Quick question. Seems you draw out your subject on the canvas with pencil? Do you find that the graphite ever runs and mixes with the paint?
Chris W yes, sometimes I draw out my subjects, but I use vine charcoal instead of graphite. Vine charcoal erases nicely and mixes fine with your paints without leaving marks!
This is the BEST acrylic seascape I've seen so far. I really does mimic the feel of an oil seascape very well.
Thank you very much for the compliment!!
I love your paintings, I will be doing this.
Ruth rodriguez go for it Ruth, and remember, don’t give up!! And thank you for the compliment!!
Perfect!!!
Thank you Patricia!!!
Fabulous tutorial. Thank you so much.
My pleasure, thank you for watching!!!
Another gorgeous painting! What's the difference in painting techniques using a bright and a flat.🥰
Flats are more flexible than brights, that’s good for soft body paints and glazing, but not to move paint around as much! I use them anytime I need a soft touch. If you have to spread paint around than go with brights!
Beautiful and well explained. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you very much!!!
amazing
Thank you!!
Ty for teaching me such useful tips and color mixes I never thought to use

How do you hang these panels?
Hi Alicia, the panels have borders, so you can frame them or just add a wire in the back,! There are quite a few other options as well.
@@GebahiArtworks Thank you .
Cool! Greets from Germany! :-)
Thank you Wolfgang!!
@@GebahiArtworks Well, I used to live in Canada for 5 and a half years, so I'm able to follow your instructions. And yes, i think you're a great artist! I'm a beginner (mostly oil colors), but videos like yours are more than helpful! Thanks a lot for doing this job!
@@wolfgangbrehm5189 I really appreciate it!!
This is beautiful!
Thank you very much Alesha!!!
Beautiful
Thank you!!
Love it.
Thank you very much Mary!!!
I'm in awe!
Thank you Jules!!!
I'm currently living in a draconion Asian country where the lockdown has been in place for 8 months. I have some acrylic paints and brushes. I've been very depressed as we now have to have medical tests, travel passes and wear face shields as well as masks even in our own front garden. I'm going to survive this by losing myself in beauty. I don't know if I have the ability to master tropical seascapes but I'm sure as hell going to try. I have some plywood pieces to paint on so here goes!
@@julesking2347 use this time to master your skills!! It’s all I can do in the US as well, I do what I can not to go out, so I’ve been doing videos for you guys, hopefully I can help someone better their skills! This virus sucks!! But I’ve been painting everyday, so my advice to you is to keep painting, and experiment with different styles until you find one that fits you, stay loose and forget details, that will come later!!
Priceless information about the different colours and brushes! THANKS!!
Thank you very much Julie, I have another coming very soon!
