Choose and layer colors that help capture the ocean's essence.One of the fun challenges of beach crafts, including painting seascapes, is choosing colors that capture the true essence of the ocean.

White and ochre work also well in seascapes.

Both Susan and I are always trying new colors and brands, but, for the most part, we use Windsor Newton and Rembrandt oil paints. On trips we sometimes use water-based oils, acrylics, or gouache (usually only a red, yellow, blue, and white to save space in our backpacks). Even in the studio, in fact, I'll often do limited palette paintings where I choose some sort of red, yellow, blue, and white to work with. See similar questions...
