My seascape oil paintings

I like calm, transparent and peaceful seas.

I live in Italy, in the Mediterranean Sea, I am lucky to lay down on one of the wonderful beaches we have. Recently I was in Sorrento and I made a tour to Positano, the beach of Ieranto, and other places in the Amalfi coast, beautiful!

I like the emerald waters of Sardinia, I have never seen the wonderful colours of that sea, a lot of time ago I was in Spargi and Budelli, two little islands in Sardinia, and I saw a beach made of pink sand, incredible!

I painted the blue sea of this seascape with ultramarine blue oil colour.

I painted a bottom with a light blue, let it dry and then added coats of ultramarine blue deep.

All the colours can be mixed with Liquin that helps the colours dry faster.

I put a coat of colour and let it dry, then another coat and so on until I reached the result I wanted.

Since the ultramarine blue is transparent it helped me create a bright sea.

I added also veils of glaze of emerald green to make the sea more realistic.

I like to create Mediterranean seascape paintings with clear, transparent waters and ultramarine blue deep helped me create this bright sea.

After the colours dried I painted the ripples on the sea and added tiny points with white to reproduce the glint of the sun on the water.
