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