How to Paint Waves Crashing on Rocks on the Wild Atlantic Way – Live Alla Prima Demo on Zoom!

🎨 Live Online Painting Demonstration with Kevin McSherry

Join me for a powerful online oil painting demonstration, where we’ll dive into the drama and beauty of the Irish west coast — and capture the raw energy of crashing waves on canvas.

In this live session, I’ll show you how to paint a bold, atmospheric seascape using a photographic reference — not to copy, but to transform. We’ll use the photo as a springboard, not a blueprint, as we explore how to tell a story with paint: one of wind, water, and the untamed spirit of the Atlantic.

You’ll learn how to convey movement and energy through expressive brushwork and rich, textured layers. I’ll guide you step by step, demonstrating how to build excitement and drama into your painting — from sky to sea spray.

Throughout the demo, I’ll walk you through the materials, the process, and the essential techniques to help you grow in confidence and break free from the habit of simply copying photos. This is about learning to see like a painter — and to paint with feeling.

We’ll finish with a live Q&A, where you can ask me anything — from colour choices and brush handling to composition tips and artistic mindset.

Whether you're just starting out or looking to push your work further, this session is your invitation to paint fearlessly, expressively, and with heart.

This session is designed especially for beginners to intermediate painters. As I work, I’ll guide you through every step—explaining techniques, brushwork, colour mixing, and composition choices in a clear and accessible way.

You’ll also receive a link to the reference photograph beforehand, so you can paint along or try it in your own time.

We’ll finish with a relaxed Q&A session, where you can ask questions and get personalised tips.
