I draw out the seascape with a black marker. The canvas has been toned and dried with alizarin crimson and odorless paint thinner.

I paint the background with my knives and brushes. The sky and horizon line are established.

 

 
 

 

ocean waves

 

  
 

 

I paint the rest of the ocean and the main wave and breakers.

 

  
 

 

rocks shoreline lay in

 

  
 

 

I roughly lay in the rest of the paint and try to establish the relationship with the water and the rocks.

I move the water and rocks around with the wave to very fast to try to get a overall scene. I try not to overwork one area and I don't try to follow my lines exactly.
