High Tide: Progress Not Perfection | Dan Willcox 

Beautiful seascape painting - Turned out really nice. Enjoyed watching the video - Thank you for sharing!

Camera is too far from the canvas- and on the side- You watch Josh- well that’s his problem as well- he insists on having the sharp angle camera from canvas and far away because he’s filming live on all his other social media outlets- he doesn’t care about the RU-vid viewers view- and he actually said it on his live when a few addressed it on same livestream- he got angry and many were blocked from the live chat! At least your wave looks kind of normal here- Josh does weird waves and doesn’t understand the anatomy nor flow of waves- ocean water- He’s too cocky and all about selling - money- and has many of his viewers sucked into his gaslighting- Here your talking about things that have nothing to do with the painting tutorial- Nice sky- clouds- the wave is ok/ but forgot the barrel - the rest of waves after the eye part- and great you didn’t add rocks- too many RU-vid painters add big boulders and or rocks to cover up the water areas they don’t understand how to depict the illusion of- instead of studying the anatomy of waves and ocean water- foam etc When painters are self taught- many are now just winging it on RU-vid- and not studying- about the process of painting in of itself- Composition is very important and all RU-vid painters lack this- Basic color theory- If anyone is really interested and wants to become a good painter of the land/ sea/ cloudscapes- Carlson on landscape book Edgar Paynes on composition Helen Van Wyk on color And - perspective- (where is the viewer standing - while looking at the scene) and more- These books are best and will serve throughout one’s journey and always refer back to them- Once the painter knows these foundations- their works will be better- being a painter is a life long journey of learning- Don’t let time pass - painters on RU-vid many are copycats many just wing it and the thousands who watch are beginners and don’t know any better- but in time many will- Best wishes to you-
