Crimson Tide

joha59 27 Oct 2025

This was a retry of this beautiful episode using the last tutorial of Paul Ranson as reference, so I also added some yellow around the horizon and kept the left rock smaller to save the wave. Paul always uses a very small amount of paint and he shows how his rocks were not what he wanted because of the highlight with indian yellow, he painted them again and wanted to show he also struggles sometimes and convinced me I am happily not the only one. I did it on wallpaper (just as Paul) of 30 x 40 cm and used linseed oil in stead of liq.clear as basic layer.

So pretty!

GORGEOUS! The sky is beautiful and the reflection on the water is absolutely perfect. Well done.

I can see the rainbow (not litterally... but its there). Nice

Oh cool! How was the linseed oil compared to liquid clear?

Thank you very much for the enthousiastic comments Regan, Sandy, Tied, Rebecca (the painting is one big rainbow haha) and Wbot (the oil is thinner then the clear, I prefer the clear, but in the time the clear becomes so thick I could not use it anymore).

Your wave looks so good!! Also the water lines up on the sand are spectacular. Love how the soft, yellow, reflective glow turned out on your beach as well.

Thank you very much Kerri, Paul 's tutorial helped a lot!

Nice work, Jos!

Thank you very much Jon!

Well done with a superb foreground. Looks very realistic.

Thank you very much Tom!
