DYNAMIC SKIES & SEASCAPES IN OIL ![]() This amazing studio seascape painting workshop will yield several waves and seascapes with dynamic skies over a 2 day period. Sunrise, sunset and various cloud formations will be included. Class will cover the basic principles of oil painting with regard to seascape painting. Discussions and lectures on basic composition, massing, building form, light and shadow, near and far, capturing and developing atmospheric distance and depending on your own style, knowing when a work is finished (learning how to not overwork you painting). Students will work from photos that Douglas supplies in their own style/technique so that the finished work is their own.
Douglas will overview his palette and concepts his work entails. After a brief morning intro and adequate time to mix and set up the palette, Douglas will demo a seascape and have the class follow along. Much time will be allowed for individual discussion and review in a systematic rotation. Various seascapes will be painted over the 2 day workshop and some incredible paintings will be accomplished. Depending on the skill level of each student, students are able to grow and develop at a rate that is to their comfort. Demos and individual discussions/instruction will help each student to begin to reach the preliminary goals they are striving to meet. Plan to produce several paintings. Plan to bring notebook/sketchbook and enjoy some demos along with some great stories to help you remember these principles that are the foundation of Douglas’ teaching. ![]() Douglas’ Biography Class supply list: Great News! Oil Painting Supply Kits are now available through the link below. Douglas used to offer kits in class, but demand was too great to keep up with, so this is the better way to get all the correct materials for the workshop!
You can click on the Blick link and order a kit in part or in its entirety, or assemble the supplies below. (these are not absolute, just my way of getting to a good result) 01557-4043 Blick oil Yellow Ochre 40 ml And anything else student needs to help them paint well and feel comfortable. You can prime all canvas with a thin coat of thinned down Cad Red light and Titanium White Acrylic to make a pink or light red salmon tone on canvas. It can be thin and applied with a blue shop towel or rag. It can also be done in class if that is easier. (You can paint oil over acrylic but can’t paint acrylic over oil.) Douglas has a “suitcase of supplies” he brings along, it includes some recommended books, and some supplies in case a few students need a few items that are forgotten.
