Online Painting Classes - Learn to Paint the Ocean
ESCAPE TO THE OCEAN
THE WAVE
Learn waves, translucent water,
reflections, sand, skies.
Artist and teacher, Genevieve Montgomerie, will guide you through painting the sky, horizon, waves, reflection, translucency, shallows over the sand and clouds from a downloadable image (supplied). Once you have completed this 7 hour class you can repeat the course and apply these principles to your own image!

It's difficult to put a seven hour painting into a 90 second wrap and fortunately, unlike this reel, my first online class filming my ‘Escape to the Ocean’ painting isn’t condensed, diluted, or edited to give you the highlights. It captures every moment of my attempt to bring an iconic Australian beach to life.
Stepping through how to measure up, then plot the image, recognise perspective, mix the perfect colour pallette, and of course how to choose the right brushes to do their magic, dancing across the canvas with definite purpose.
My seven hour class is a step-by-step guide where nothing is withheld. I share dozens of techniques and self-taught secrets that come from almost thirty years of teaching, painting and obsessing about the water. To give you the best chance at firstly seeing the water as I see it, and secondly, capturing it one colour at a time, layer upon layer, until a vibrant three dimentional lumious sky, wave, shallows and sand emerges from the canvas. This is your first insight into how I see, paint, and teach.
ESCAPE TO THE OCEAN
THE REEF
Learn underwater depth, refraction,
reflections, texture.
Something that my students always ask me about is how to paint water so that it looks translucent. This class goes in to detail about how to achieve the layering of colours to address submerged rocks, different depths of water, and light refraction and reflection on the water surface. We will cover capturing perspective visible through underlying sandbanks, a beautiful submerged reef, and a rocky coastal headland.

It's so exciting to be sharing with you my second online painting tutorial ‘Escape to the Ocean - The Reef’.
Once again, condensing what you will learn from my step-by-step instruction into a 90 second wrap is quite a challenge. But knowing now what I do, from the results students achieved with my first online class ‘The Wave’, I feel confident that you will be so excited with the results of painting along side me for eight hours.
If eight hours does sound like a mammoth task, consider that I hold your hand through each and every calculation, insight into perspective, tip and trick for mixing colours and choosing brushes, achieving textures, capturing depth, making water look transparent and of course capturing reflection and refraction on and in the water surface and depths to make your painting, not only life like, but beautiful, and a work that will entice the spectator to dive into the piece.Edited into bite sized modules, you can easily skip ahead or replay sections until you are confident with your technique. This is a step-by-step guide where nothing is withheld. I share dozons of secrets that come from 30 years of teaching, observing and obsessing over the water to give you the best chance of achieving a vibrant and luminous painting.
