  • This painting tutorial shows how to paint realistic water in oils, a subtle balance of colors, values and edges.
    Please note: any paintings created using my tutorials are not viable to sell. This is a copyright issue.
    The original painting "Emerald Wave" measures 36x24 inches and is available for sale on my website evavolf.com
    Here I offer an insight into my technique and hope that all my artist-friends will find it useful or at least entertaining. You're most welcome to try out some techniques I taught myself over the years.
    I used the following colors to create this ocean wave painting: Burnt Sienna, Alizarin Crimson, Indian Yellow, Viridian (Green), Ultramarine blue and Payne's Gray (and of course Titanium White). I also used Liquin as a medium.
    I really love and recommend brushes from my favorite supplier Princetonbrush.com : several sizes filbert brushes from Aspen series, #6 Catalyst angle bright and 2" wide angle brush from Aspen series.
    This painting was painted in one sitting, wet on wet in about 5-6 hours.

    I have always liked to paint, but did not start doing oils until 2 years ago in an art studio (as a hobby). I have been enjoying it, painting portraits, landscapes, animals, exercices... but lacking a goal, until I found your videos. I want to try to learn to paint seascapes in your style. It will be long and I will not ever be as good as you, but this is it truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing your work!

Excellently done! I'm a beginner working with acrylics but on a journey to perfect seascapes...thats why I found this... I'm glad I didn't pass it by because it said oil painting. I appreciate you 💯!

Please consider if you have time or produce a DVD for purchase on water, waves Techniques many don't have internet access so DVD would be great.
