Painting a Coastal Landscape

Discover how to create a coastal landscape that captures light, texture, and atmosphere. This session starts with pencil sketches and a smart “window frame” approach to building your composition. From there, it’s sky first, then sea, using a limited palette to keep your colors focused and harmonious. You’ll explore how to use shadows and highlights to suggest depth — and how to adapt your painting as light shifts. Expect plenty of practical tips on brushwork, texture, and even how to take great reference photos to guide your progress.
