Sound difficult?

It's not!

Yes, the truth is that it's NOT a complicated process. With the right teacher helping you, it's actually quite easy!

That's where Arizona-based painter Amery Bohling comes in.

Amery Bohling will guide you through your own seascape painting experience and your viewers will be spellbound at what you paint!

In this all-new video collection, you're going to learn, step by step, how to paint a beautiful coastal scene on El Matador State Beach in Malibu, California.

Amery will take you through every stage of her painting process from A to Z, so you can follow along at your own pace and master each key technique.

Seascape Painting Secrets features over 3 1/2 hours of in-depth painting instruction, along with an eye-opening one-on-one interview with the artist.

You'll discover how to create your value study, and how to use a grid to lay out your composition and establish the correct proportions.

You'll also learn how to paint a sweeping coastline with multiple types of crashing and rolling waves, the reflection of light on craggy rock faces, and much, much more.

Now, this part is important:

You don't need to be an experienced painter to learn how to do this. And you don't have to have talent to paint. That comes from training.

In fact, in the words of our publisher, B. Eric Rhoads, if you can follow a recipe and bake a cake, you can learn to paint. Because painting is a process.
