life of the sea

Once you have collected some inspiration and photographs for class, lets get out your art journals and warm up! Through these lessons we will explore the marine life near and in the sea. With over 3,000 species of marine life in Maine, there is a lot to discover and draw inspiration from! I like to know the story behind a landscapes scene. I find its so much more then a pretty place. Part of that story is the life and creatures that live there so what better way to connect then to discover some of the life beyond the shore.

Composition plays an integral part of any landscape or seascape painting. It is important to study how composition can change and impact your work. Having a high horizon line with lots of foreground can have a very different impact then a low horizon line leaving the viewer with an expansive sky. Through our art journals you can start to explore the impacts the horizon line will have on your work. Through these lessons, we will be using limited supplies a warm and a cool color will be our way to create contrast.
