Roy Lang knows the sea!
He has watched and studied its every movement and mood, from tranquil mirrored surfaces to boiling, stormy cauldron, and can tell you about the anatomy of every wave, swell, spill off, foam pattern and crashing surge in minute detail. But his talent isn’t confined to words.his paintbrush describes more eloquently still, the beauty of the sea.
By understanding what makes a wave, Roy believes you can learn to paint the subject convincingly. In this video, he breaks each element down into small, easy to follow sections, tackling the different aspects one by one, combining sound technical know-how with a friendly manner which is great for beginners and more advanced painters alike. It’s a perfect introduction to painting the sea in oils, even if you’ve never painted in oils before.
