I paint a wide variety of subjects but I am probably best known for my seascape and garden paintings. This course covers a lot of material for artists of all levels. I'll demonstrate how to paint seascape views including Balboa Island, Duffy boats, sea rocks, sea cliffs, reflections in wet sand, Southern California palm trees, shells on the beach and topics such as how to create depth on your horizon, transparent, believable looking water, reflections and more.
I'll explore color mixing, bold brushwork and when to blend:). I'll discuss materials and how to see the world differently through the eyes of an artist.
These classes include 12 hours of video lessons, downloadable pdfs, jpegs and design diagrams. I'll explore color mixing, bold brushwork and when to blend:). I'll discuss materials and how to see the world differently through the eyes of an artist.

Student Review....
"In painting this seascape I found following your tutorial a lot easier as you described the way to hold the brush for the style you were using. I loved how you used a slightly different mix of colours as you continued, and you carefully and clearly explained the colours you were blending. This made it a lot easier to follow and achieve a result far greater than I thought I could have done otherwise. The construction lines were a great tool and explaining how they worked during the compositional stage really helped pull the foreground into the focal point. I kept this in mind as I continued the finishing touches and I believe it made a huge difference to my finished painting.

I was amazed that by following your tutorial I watched as rocks underwater came alive in my painting and adding sea foam was made easy and simple. This were challenges in the past the prevented me from even contemplating painting seascapes.

My big 'aha' moment was when you were describing shapes and discussing having too many of the same size. I then looked at the positive and negative shapes and saw my work from a completely different perspective. This was a game changer for me."
Thank you so much Kristen, this has been a wonderful painting to do, I have learnt so much and look forward to painting many more.
