Hello and good evening to you all!
Today I wanted to share with you the process behind my latest seascape.
Progress square.
"About to jump in", oil on panel, size 30 x 30 cm.
I had a lot of fun painting this painting. I am in love with the translucent quality of water and had a blast diving into the challenge of transmitting that effect in my painting.
Where I'm from in Norway the water and beaches have a much colder and deeper color of blues and greys. As a result I've always been quite fascinated by the more turquoise waters of warmer countries.
In this particular painting though the turquoise, greens and blues are being played down quite a lot because of the greyer clouds in the sky.
Have you ever gone swimming on a summer evening when the clouds are rolling in and you even think it might rain? I love doing exactly that. I find that the water usually gets extra warm after being heated up all day by the sun and it's such a nice way to relax after a long day!
As always I will show you the process from start to finish, enjoy!
There you go! 😉
I am really enjoying the square shaped panels these days and think I will make a little series using this 30 x 30 dimension.
What do you think?
I hope you are all having a wonderful and creative day and if you have any questions about my process, please don't hesitate to ask!😘
Awesome! Thanks for sharing the step by step process :D

In love with square shapes for years now, and 30x30 is my favorite. Like how this sea looks in square @mayasky.

I came across them when participating one art contest for collective exhibition here in my country. Task was to make art in form of square 30x30cm. Since than it's my favorite one @mayasky. Also love to do small ones, 10x10 cm so fun.

Ah, warm beaches, I miss them. They seem almost foreign to me now. I could get my feet wet in your painting.

Yes! Warm beaches are truly a treat if you're not used to them ;) And that is an awesome compliment, hehe, "I could get my feet wet in your painting." Love it! 😆
