Master Seascapes with Acrylic Painting Techniques
This comprehensive acrylic painting book offers expert guidance for creating stunning seascapes, complete with creative techniques and three detailed, step-by-step projects.
Artist Dave White shares simple yet powerful methods to capture the beauty and drama of the sea, teaching techniques like spattering, blending backgrounds, finger-painting clouds and foam, and painting realistic horizons. He offers in-depth advice on understanding wave anatomy, from their rise and collapse to creating ripples, surf, foam, and spray. You’ll also learn how to paint accurate reflections, textured beaches, and a variety of sky formations using innovative techniques—such as tilting the canvas to let diluted paint flow naturally into cirrus clouds.
Dave’s approach to creating depth through vanishing points will elevate your seascapes, while his section on moods and sunsets inspires with vibrant examples. Complete the book’s three projects to paint a beach panorama with rolling waves, a peaceful sunset over calm waters, and crashing waves on rocky shores.
