No question Mr. Pickering is outstanding when it comes to oil painting seascapes.

I purchased the two DVD's ( The Wild Sea and Painting the Breaking Wave ) I would at the most give them, on a scale of 1-10 perhaps a 4 when it comes to instruction.

Painting the Breaking Wave lists seventeen different colours required for the painting, I would challenge any novice painter to match what is required.

At one point in the video he says " now paint in the foreground foam " no indication of colours.

beautiful thanks

[crazystickmaner]

The green waves heading towards the horizon brought a tear to my eye. I am not normally a follower of seascape work but yours are pure brilliance. Thank you

[DjbShadow17]

i like how you can see the sun light through the top of the wave great stuff

[kiensmf]

these paintings are rediculous. good stuff

[Lichtfamilie]

Beautiful. Thanks :-)

Acrylics don't blend! Oil blends forever and gives that required "softness" that spray and surf are all about~! Don't use acrylics for natural subjects, colors are plastic looking and work well for painting "plastic forms" but watercolor and oil are used for natural forms. Just a clue Stef (below).....! Acrylics = Impatient painters! Good luck

[strikenetter]

@redibeaver impatient painters? Thats me! lol But i love my acrylics

[steflondon88]

I cannot get acrylics to Look like this!!! i am dying here

[cre8zeke]

@steflondon88 These are oils but some of the techniques are similar - you might take a look at Byrons dvd workshop The Wild Sea and the cd workshop painting the breaking wave.

[anniejlemay]

I like your style a lot.

[STEVENxIZxKHAN]

nothing to say but W-O-W!!!

[GaryGarrett]

Absolutely wonderful... FIVE WELL DESERVED STARS (SHOULDA BEEN 50)

[helmuthoorn]

You wouldn't believe the amount of zinq white, veridian green and prussian blue I have used so far. Arne believes in bright colours, Henk likes to paint misty shades of grey and I'm all for contrast .

We check eachothers work on a regular base and old Arne (77; leader of the project) has complimented me about the sea . ("You have improved.'') Mentioned Byron and he smiled.

Better go to work now.

[jerramy]

@helmuthoorn with me its zinc white thalo green prussian blue - I think Im going crazy - I too am attempting sea scapes. Did a red poppy study the other day just to get back my mojo.

[helmuthoorn]

Allow the darker parts to settle & dry for a while before you apply the white.

[angelflame111]

those waves looked so real, I got the impression the water was moving....now that's talent. Thanks for sharing.

[Sk1pasz]

i whant to paint like this ,i wounder how much time i need to learn.

[helmuthoorn]

I am a painter myself and this kind of work requires mainly technical skills

Furhtermore you need a sharp eye and a steady hand.

I suggest to you that you start practising in watercolours first and work with shades of blue, grey and white..

And eh.... (sorry, have to be honest) it takes YEARS of practice.

Take a good art class.

That will save you a lot of time in aquiring the technical skills.

Good luck.

[cre8zeke]

See the comment above. there have been a lot of artists both begginning and experienced that have been able to use some of Byrons techniques and see pretty quick results.

You are right that it takes practice but more that anything I believe, and I am not Byron, that it takes focus and having, as you said, a good teacher that can teach the correct techniques for that particular subject.

[helmuthoorn]

I'm not Byron as well. Copied some of his technique.

My specialty is painting tall ships.

Engaged for months in an assigment for the maritime museum in Rotterdam, together with two fellow artists; Arne Zuidhoek and Henk Hobbeling.

We have to make three big (!) canvasses of three Dutch XIXth century clippers; deadline 18th of May, I'm doing the ''Cosmopoliet'', rounding the Horn.

Sky OK, ship too, but wasn't satisfied about the sea, untill aquaintance with work of Byron.

[BLEACH2AnimE]

Your paintings are beautiful and very professional. And the presentation on video is very nicely done. It's extemely inspiring, and we can learn a lot from you, about painting, video, and life.
