Breaking Ocean Wave Series - Continuing Painting Four In Oil

For my Breaking Wave IV in the ocean wave series I have continued painting on canvas with oil paint. The painting below is 10 inch by 20 inch stretched canvas.

In this stage I am working on the darks in the painting and when I finished that value I moved to the medium values in the water and the beach sand. I wanted texture for the beach sand so I dragged the loaded brush of oil paint across the canvas. In this painting I am working dark to light. Check back to see how I apply the light values and the details in this breaking wave oil painting.

Starting Ocean Wave IV - New Painting In Breaking Ocean Wave Series

Start of new oil painting of breaking wave.

For my Breaking Wave IV I have started a painting on canvas. My first 3 paintings in this series have been in watercolor and I wanted to continue in this series using a different medium. The painting above is 10 inch by 20 inch stretched canvas. I have started the painting in acrylic to block-in the initial color and values. From here I will start painting in oil.

Check back in a few days to see the next step in this colorful seascape of a breaking wave.
Thanks, P.J. Cook
