How to Paint the Ocean in Oils - Large Seascape Painting "Beginnings" by Eva Volf
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 11. 2019
- This painting time lapse shows the process of creating my new large ocean oil painting "Beginnings". The original seascape painting measures 60x48 inches and is in private collection now.
I used a reference photo I took on a cloudy morning on Cape Hatteras in the Outer Banks, North Carolina.
Here I offer an insight into my technique and hope that all my artist-friends will find it useful or at least entertaining. I strongly urge you not to make copies of this painting for commercial use (as it is copyrighted) but you're most welcome to try out some techniques I taught myself over the years, like my absolute favorite one - finger painting the sky.
I used the following colors to create this moody ocean painting:
titanium white, ultramarine blue, viridian, burnt umber, Payne's gray, cadmium yellow, Prussian blue, a touch of premixed Portland warm gray (can be easily mixed). I also used Liquin as a medium. This painting took me 5 sessions x 4 hours and I let it dry completely in between them.

Very nice painting
Thanks for answering that question
My wife (Shari) liked to paint. She did it as a hobby and was learning. She didn't have the chance to find her niche' before passing but I know she loved the beach. She would've loved watching this. Thank you for the memories. ~Greg
Shari Gaunt thank you for sharing her story, Greg. God Bless you!
r.i.p shari, so sad! hope you are well greg.

I think that your work IS the most powerful can be done by human artist
You’re too kind! 🙏😊🩵🌊
As you painted, it was as though the beach and ocean beyond, was just outside your home/studio. Beautiful work!

Beautiful! And interesting to watch your techniques for foam patterns.
I wish I had you as a wonderful job teacher
Thanks for reminding me that you CAN paint with your fingers! LOL Many of us get "stuck" in brushes and proper implements, but you can use whatever gets the job done.
Exactly! You’re most welcome
Thank you Eva for your generosity to share your talent and your process with us! I always felt at home by the water and the ever changing clouds which are my never ending joy! Forever grateful!

I'm awestruck, thank you so much for sharing!
Maravilloso, me ha encantado, de las mejores marinas que he visto.. Enhorabuena, saludos desde España.
Thank you for the video. I look at you and remember Aivazovsky, too, seascapes, just Bellissima.
Shame on you ,this is not even close to Ivazovski...
OH my gosh Eva, you are amazing! I hope I can do something like this one day!
Love it.👍
Это просто БОЖЕСТВЕННО это ШЕДЕВР ты умничка, ты красавица, у тебя руки золотые ты великий мастер дай БОГ тебе здоровья и творческих успехов лайк подписка привет из России
Preciosa pintura! Saludos desde Colima, México
That’s amazing
Very Very good 🐾🐾🐾✌️
U r a god gifted artist. I love the way you paint . And the way you move while painting , its not a joke it takes so much efforts. U are amazing
rajan rawool thank you Rajan, yes, this huge painting made me stretch, kneel and bend a lot. I even didn’t go to gym those weeks, like a workout 🏋️♀️
.
I don't think there are adequate words in my vocabulary that express my appreciation for your work, that compare to what you express with paint on canvas. This, in my opinion, is your best yet! I watch a LOT of painters on CZcams, mostly oil and watercolor, and some acrylic, but always looking for insights and inspiration. You are exceptional, and I hope you continue sharing your work with us for many years to come! Thank you!
Randy Smith your kind words made my day, Randy! Thank you for your encouragement!

Beautiful! Thank you!
Amazing! no, I was going to say astonished....
At the end you say thank you for watching, think I'm right in saying it's us to be thanking you. Such a joy and privilege to watch your artwork evolve from start as naturally in to so much beauty. I'm so grateful for your descriptions of materials and methods too it never fails to inspire to create and share. I love painting the ocean too and it always captivates me but in my 58 years I've never saw a more talented and generous teacher.
Jim Harrison thank you for saying it, Jim, your kind words made my day 😀
Simply beautiful. I feel like I could walk into that painting ,and thank you for sharing your incredible talent with us. You inspire me to try to paint.🙂 I guess I need to go buy some paints first 😂
Thank you, sweetheart! Give it a try but beware: it's addictive: once you start painting, you can't give it up.
Eva Volf ; you’re the first painter I’ve heard mention the addictiveness of painting - it is indeed and I now don’t feel so alone with my addiction. A lovely painting - seascapes are my passion too 👍
Peter Elmer of all the addictions, I think it’s the most harmless one
Excellent work, love watching you work, great attention to detail and perspective.
Congrats - Your images are all awesome ones!
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this. It is amazing! I would LOVE to own this. You are a genius! :)
Amber Ackroyd Thanks Amber, this seascape is still available: etsy.me/2toVFyK
Awesome work! Just one question, do you paint over the fresh oil? Or wait for it to dry?
And if so, how does the previous layer doesn't mix with the new one?
Beautiful!!
You have persistence! I wished the wave on the right had brighter translucent “Aqua”, and maybe a wet sand edge shows the waves’ retraction. But it’s beautiful, thank you for sharing!
The painting is absolutely beautiful. I’m fortunate to have such a talent. Thank you for sharing. What do you do with all of your paintings?
Jude Thanks a lot, Jude! I sell them online: check out my Etsy shop EvaVolfSeascapes.etsy.com
stunning work, thank you for sharing.
Beautiful!
I believe this is the best video I've seen by you. It seemed you did more explaining of the details. I like that.
It would be great if you could create some short videos (normal speed) on a few of your techniques, ie: ripples in water, intricate foam patterns, cloud layering, blending, etc.
Btw, how long did this painting take you? A painting like this would take me months 😟
CD P I’ll consider doing shorter real time videos. This painting took me 5 sessions x 4 hours, and I let it dry in between them.
Beautiful painting. Have you thought of making a instructional DVD video to help beginners like me?
Gary Thornton Hi Gary, thanks for your question. Yes, I definitely should do it. Don’t know when though. Right now you have 3 bored abs always hungry kids at home due to Ohio lockdown
Wonderful inspiring thank you for sharing so kind x
Fantastic!
Doesn't seem to have done the painting.
it likes so real.
I've never seen such an outstanding painting.
N A Vaishnav thank you very much!
@@EvaVolf you are very very tallented.I am really impressed with you and your painting!!!!
I am from india.and you?😊
This is NOT a How to paint video its a time laps video
true
You can still learn something from it
I don’t think anyone will watch it for 7-10 hours straight, that was approximately the time it took me to paint it
