Contemporary Seascape Painting

I see waves and weather every time I look out of the window and thus a large part of my painting has to be seascapes. Painting seascapes is similar to painting the sky in that there is the added element of constant movement within each work that the seascape artist must learn to deal with.

When calm, it’s easy to see the sea as a kind of blurred mirror of the sky. When it’s rough, it’s more difficult to see this but it will still usually combine its own intrinsic colours with those reflected from the light above.

Much of my seascape observation is of the Tay Estuary which can change from a serene mirror to an awesome entity in a very short time. The stumps of the first Tay Rail Bridge, which can still be seen, are well recognised as a testament to its power on a bad day.

Both these pictures were taken at different times from just outside my studio.

The real power of the sea is its ability to attract us and to compel us to come up close. Moving water of any kind has a strange fascination.
