What is the colour of the sea? Blue? No! Look again. The sea has a million colours. To paint the sea you need to look beyond the obvious. And that goes for the sky as well. The sky is not blue with white clouds. There are many other colours mixed in there… When you paint the sea think of layers and of mixing the colours while wet, especially the lighter tones, then you can lay on heavily the different blues and the whites to reflect movement and the silver to reflect the sun, and make it move, let your sea have the same rhythm as any sea, and all bodies of water are affected by the sun and by the wind/breeze or lack thereof. Lee that in sight and in mind…

I agree, Francesco, the sea isn’t one colour!

Some painters have a stronger talent/practice/capability to capture the luminescence of the sea rather than having it look opaque.

So true Pat, that is why I stay away from landscapes, especially seascapes… Thank you!

Artists that can capture the water’s translucence really win high marks from me.
