Actually, I’ve never been scuba diving in my life. I can only imagine the breathtaking beauty of the ocean coming to life beneath the surface.
Painting a seascape is my way of immersing myself in that world—a way to explore its wonder and magic without ever leaving dry land. For now, this is as close as I plan on getting, and that’s more than enough for me.
My inspiration comes from online photos of kelp beds. I may decide to add marine life or a mythical creature such as a Mermaid. I have to figure out the kelp first.
Painting kelp is a first for me. The colors have been a challenge. I have used several mixing formulas of violet, orange, cobalt teal, crimson red, burnt sienna, titanium white, and phthalocyanine blue. I will post more soon.
