Painting a impressionistic seascape

By the end of this class you will have completed a loose impressionistic seascape painting. I have supplied a couple of reference photos below you can use to practice. I will be demonstrating the top one.

Below are the materials you will need:

20cm x 20cm x 2cm stretched canvas or similar

Small tub of gesso - I use Winsor & Newton Galeria
A couple of water pots (old jars will do)
Kitchen Roll
Flat Brushes - Something like this is fine: You can buy on Amazon or pick up something similar at places like Hobbycraft or local Art Supplies Shop.

Give it a coat of matt varnish such as Winsor & Newton Acrylic Matt Varnish.
Two D-rings and a cord.

I would love you to share your seascape painting in the class gallery.
