Online Masterclass #6 - Paint A Breaking Wave

The Art of Painting Breaking Waves - Online Masterclass 

Ever dreamed of painting the sea like it feels when you're on the beach, with the spray on your face and the sound of crashing waves filling the air? If you've tried, you may have struggled to capture their power, movement, and raw energy. Perhaps your waves seem too static, or look disconnected from the rest of your painting.

Many artists struggle with portraying not only the form but also the feeling of a wave crashing onto the shore. Capturing the translucency, along with that sense of movement and atmosphere in your paintings can feel as elusive as a wave itself!

In this online painting masterclass, I will guide you step-by-step through the process of painting stunning, realistic breaking waves. Together, we’ll explore the essential techniques for capturing the fluidity, light, and movement of the sea, while breaking down common challenges. 

Whether you’re struggling with brush technique, colour mixing, perspective or just knowing where to begin, this masterclass will help you gain confidence and skills to bring your seascapes to life. With this step by step demonstration, advice on avoiding common mistakes, and the opportunity to ask questions in real time, you’ll leave with a host of tips and techniques to help you paint waves successfully.

Join me for this inspiring, hands-on session and transform your approach to painting the sea!
