simple seascape painting in acrylics

You've been wanting to paint seascapes for a while now but

The Problem Is

  • You already have so much going on that there doesn’t seem to be enough time to commit to anything else

  • You don't want to outlay a lot of money when you are not even sure if you will be able to do it

  • You have tried online learning before and it didn't work out so well

What if:

You could learn to paint seascapes in acrylics without making a big commitment.

In fact, after watching 4 short video lessons you could have an impressive seascape painting finished and ready to wow your family and friends PLUS you will have gained a whole lot of knowledge about painting principles and techniques that can be used in any of your other artworks


Stunning Seascapes are Possible for Everyone

  • Blending and mixing colours smoothly in acrylics can take some practice so I break it all down into detailed, step by step instructions

  • My tri-colour method is a simple, logical process to follow that will add depth to your paintings by making 2D images appear 3D

  • Start at any time, work at your own pace and return to the lessons as often as you like. I offer encouragement along the way and you can also reach out at any time for extra help.

"I didn't think I could do it but surprisingly I could"

is one of the comments I most often hear from students

This course is a lot of work but I've been struggling to paint realistic looking waves & sea foam. Now I know why, I had no concept of complementary colours, reflection or refaction but this course shows you all that and more. Thank you so much, it is well worth the course fee. 😁🎨❤

Absolutely loved this mini course! Although i've dabbled in painting, I have never painted a Seascape or used Acrylic paint in this way before. This course taught me some important theory, about using colour and and complimentary colours when mixing to highlight and shade areas of my picture. In fact the course was full of useful and essential tips. Jenny is an excellent teacher, her instructions were clear and purposeful and she is accessible to answer any questions and give guidance when needed. I was really pleased with my finished painting too. So pleased that i've enrolled in her 'Paint Stunning Seascapes Course'.

Course Creator Jenny Buchanan

Jenny has been working as an artist since 1996. In that time she has won awards, participated in gallery exhibitions and had artworks selected for public display. As an art teacher, Jenny has held in-person classes in acrylics, watercolour and pastels. In her words: “Since launching Blue Beach House Art School in March 2020, I have come to realise that my true gift, as an artist, is being able to communicate everything about painting in a clear and easy-to-understand way, through video lessons. Getting great results for students is about much more than just filming a painting. Demonstrating the process, without being there in person, requires excellent communication skills. That is why I explain both the how and the why of everything, in great detail, both on video and in writing. My teaching style is pretty much straight to the point, very rarely veering off the subject at hand. You won’t hear about what the dog is doing or how clever the grandchildren are (even though they are, of course). It is really all about the painting and about your success as an artist. Art is very personal and sharing your work can feel like you have stepped out onto a large stage. I always offer supportive and constructive (but honest) feedback on your work but only if and when you ask for it. The thing to remember, though, is that if you aren’t brave enough put yourself out there, you will never know how great you can be.”

Here is my promise to you
