Every artist who’s stood before a complex, ever-changing scene knows that moment…
Brush in hand, watching the colors shift with each second…
…and feeling completely overwhelmed by nature’s beautiful chaos.
Maybe it’s the endless movement that never stops long enough to capture…
…or the way sunlight dances, changing before you can mix the right color.
Whatever it is, you know the powerful scene you see right before you deserves to be painted, but something keeps you from starting…
…or worse, leaves you frustrated with lifeless results that look nothing like the vibrant scene in front of you.
Here’s what most art instructors won’t tell you…
That overwhelm isn’t a sign you’re not ready to paint complex scenes…
Your artistic instincts are actually responding correctly to nature’s complexity — you just need a different way of seeing it.
But here’s where it gets interesting...
Georgia Mansur has observed that successful artists don’t try to capture every detail, element, and texture.
Instead, they see any subjects through a deceptively simple filter — just three values that organize nature’s chaos into paintable shapes.
This approach works whether you’re painting from life outdoors or from the comfort of your studio.
It transforms overwhelming complexity into confident brushstrokes.
Which brings me to why Georgia decided to share this discovery...
After years of teaching everywhere from California to Croatia, she realized most artists struggle with complex subjects not because they lack skill…
…but because they’re trying to paint details before understanding the underlying structure.
As Georgia says, “Everything is just shapes and values.”
And that’s what makes this so liberating for any artist who’s ever felt defeated by the ocean’s constantly moving beauty.
Here’s what happens when you understand Georgia’s approach...
You stop seeing impossible complexity and start seeing three simple value shapes — light, middle, and dark.
These become your roadmap through any painting, no matter how chaotic it appears.
The freedom this brings is immediate.
Instead of chasing every changing detail, you’ll capture your subject’s essence with bold, confident strokes.
As Georgia discovered: “Nature is random — if you make a mistake, it could be a little gift in the end.”

MEET YOUR NEW INSTRUCTOR:
Georgia Mansur!
Georgia Mansur holds distinctions few artists achieve. She’s an international award-winning artist, and a faculty member at international plein air conventions across five major cities.
As creator of both the Georgia Mansur Palette for Daniel Smith Paints and signature brushes with Rosemary & Co, Georgia brings expertise that comes from truly understanding how materials and techniques work together.
But what makes Georgia truly unique goes beyond her credentials...
For over 20 years, she studied with Australia’s best artists while training privately with masters in Italy and the United States. This diverse education, combined with her passion for plein air painting, led her to develop an approach that makes even the most complex scenes approachable.
Her journey with water media began unexpectedly. As a young mother with three sons and painting at the kitchen table, she switched from oils to acrylics for practical reasons: no studio, and the need to clean up quickly.
This constraint became a gift.
Georgia discovered how acrylics — especially Golden Open Acrylics, which stay wet for up to two weeks — allow for the wet-into-wet painting that captures nature’s fluidity.
Through years of painting from the Australian outback to Mediterranean coastlines, Georgia developed her signature simplification approach. As she puts it, “Everything is just shapes and values.”
“I want people to paint from their heart,” Georgia explains. “Let your brushstrokes live. Make it look like you meant it — make it convincing.”
Today, Georgia’s workshops attract artists worldwide who want to learn her fresh, immediate approach to capturing nature’s essence.
This is your chance to learn from a highly accomplished artist!

Introducing Georgia Mansur’s Brand NEW Course:
Acrylic Seascapes Simplified
In Acrylic Seascapes Simplified, Georgia Mansur takes you on a carefully structured journey from feeling overwhelmed by ocean complexity to painting with the bold confidence her own work is known for.
This goes beyond learning to paint water (though you’ll master that too).
You’ll develop the artistic vision that lets you see past chaos to find the simple shapes and values that make a seascape sing.
Here’s how the transformation progresses:
You’ll begin with Georgia’s revolutionary approach to simplification — learning to see any seascape, no matter how complex, as just three value shapes: light, middle, and dark.
This becomes your roadmap through nature’s beautiful chaos.
Then, Georgia demonstrates her complete process, from underpainting to finishing touches, painting an entire seascape while explaining her decisions.
You’ll see how she establishes her “painting map” with warm tones, builds atmosphere, and creates depth with color temperature.
Most importantly, you’ll learn to trust the process.
Georgia shows you how embracing nature’s randomness — where “a mistake could be a little gift” — leads to paintings with authentic energy and movement.
The entire experience unfolds at your perfect pace, but the insights will transform how you see and paint.
Inside this course, you’ll discover:
- How to create order from chaos using Georgia’s 3-value simplification system that makes any subject approachable
- The color harmony secret that comes from not cleaning your brush — creating automatic unity throughout your painting
- Why painting with your surface turned sideways lets “the sea” flow naturally and avoids unwanted drips
- The “underpainting as earth” concept that provides structure while allowing spontaneous effects to shine through
- How to use a credit card or hotel key to create realistic texture and seafoam that would take hours to paint with a brush
Watch from your own creative space, pause when you need to study a technique, and absorb Georgia’s decades of wisdom without pressure.
By the end, you’ll understand why some seascapes feel alive while others fall flat.
More importantly, you’ll know how to infuse your own seascapes with the bold, vibrant energy that makes viewers stop and really look!

Introduction
Materials
Georgia reviews the brushes, paints, and tools you’ll use throughout the demonstration. You’ll discover why she chooses Golden Open Acrylics, which stay wet for up to two weeks — perfect for wet-into-wet painting. Georgia explains her material choices and shows how the right tools make painting more enjoyable. Understanding these basics helps you approach every painting with confidence.
Before We Begin
Georgia reveals the fundamentals that transform chaotic subjects into manageable subjects. You’ll learn the best placement for the focal point and how to guide the viewer’s eye through your painting. Most importantly, Georgia demonstrates her breakthrough method of simplifying any scene into just three value shapes — light, middle, and dark — and how to mix your colors to match these values. This technique makes even the most complicated subject approachable every time, providing the foundation for every successful painting.
The Underpainting
This chapter unveils Georgia’s signature “painting map” technique — a warm-tone underpainting that serves as visual notes for your entire painting. You’ll see how this first layer sets the composition and gives viewers a natural path through your painting. Georgia shows the key step: establishing the pattern of lights and darks, wiping out areas for lightest lights. This underpainting method gives you a clear roadmap for any subject.
Establish the Sky & Land
Georgia demonstrates building a seascape from back to front, starting with the sky. You’ll learn to use the biggest brush possible for loose, natural results and discover techniques for painting simple clouds. Georgia reveals her method for mixing greens that automatically harmonize with the sky, plus insights about using cooler colors for backgrounds so they naturally recede. These techniques help you create seascapes with convincing depth and atmosphere.
Make Adjustments
Georgia demonstrates the important practice of stepping back to assess your work and strengthen land masses. You’ll learn her technique for removing and reworking distant elements, discovering how lightly removing paint creates realistic layers. Georgia shows how to adjust rocky cliffs so they connect naturally while adding movement to the design. These adjustment techniques help you develop the eye to refine your seascapes until they feel complete.
Establish the Water
Georgia reveals her unique approach to painting convincing water, including her innovative technique of turning the surface sideways so the sea and paint flow naturally while avoiding drips. You’ll discover how to wash on base colors using thinner paint and learn to mix colors directly on the surface for authentic water effects. These techniques will transform your ability to capture water that feels alive and moving.
Develop the Land
This chapter focuses on bringing life to your land masses by adding plant life on hills and cliffs. Georgia demonstrates how to add colorful foliage using the drybrushing technique to keep it light and airy while maintaining variety in color and value. You’ll see how these details contribute to overall harmony while adding the natural complexity that makes coastal scenes engaging. These touches help transform basic shapes into believable landscapes.
Finishing Touches
Georgia completes the demonstration with her finishing methods, looking for ways to make elements clearer, to push things back or bring them forward as needed. You’ll discover her creative use of a credit card to apply paint for random seafoam effects. Most importantly, Georgia demonstrates what she calls “the calligraphy of the artist” — using a rigger brush to add linework that pulls the painting together and unifies the scene. These final touches give your seascapes the polish that makes them truly captivating.

What Georgia Mansur Will Share Inside
Acrylic Seascapes Simplified
The “3-Value Vision” That Instantly Organizes Chaos
Discover the simplification technique Georgia uses to make any subject approachable — seeing past overwhelming details to find just three value shapes: light, middle, and dark. This single shift in perception changes everything about how you approach complex scenes of any kind!
You’ll learn to identify these values instantly, even with constantly changing light and movement. Georgia demonstrates exactly how to translate nature’s complexity into a clear visual plan before you even pick up a brush. This becomes your roadmap through any painting, eliminating that paralyzing “where do I start?” feeling.
Students report this principle alone transforms their confidence. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by endless details, you’ll see a clear path forward. As Georgia says, “Everything is just shapes and values” — and once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
The “Color Harmony Through Chaos” Method
Georgia reveals her unconventional approach to color mixing that creates automatic harmony throughout your painting — including why not cleaning your brush between colors is actually the secret to unified, professional-looking results.
You’ll discover how to mix colors that sing together rather than fight, how to create atmosphere through temperature shifts, and why Georgia’s approach to working with Golden Open Acrylics (which stay wet for up to two weeks) allows for the fluid blending that brings any subject to life.
This method eliminates the frustration of colors that “should” work together but somehow create mud. Georgia shows you exactly how to build color relationships that capture your subject’s vibrancy while maintaining the harmony that makes a painting feel complete. One simple change in how you handle your brush creates unity that would take years to achieve through traditional color theory.
The “Random Beauty” Principle That Brings Seascapes to Life
Learn Georgia’s liberating approach to embracing happy accidents — including her credit card technique for creating natural textures and her sideways painting method that lets paint flow naturally on your canvas.
You’ll discover why Georgia paints with her surface turned sideways, how to use unconventional tools like old hotel key cards to create effects that would take hours with a brush, and most importantly, how to work with nature’s randomness rather than against it.
This principle frees you from perfectionism and opens the door to paintings with authentic energy. As Georgia teaches, “Nature is random — if you make a mistake, it could be a little gift in the end.” You’ll learn to recognize these gifts and incorporate them into paintings that feel alive with movement and spontaneity.
Here’s a small taste of what’s inside:
✅ The “painting map” technique Georgia uses to establish her composition with warm tones — creating visual notes that guide you through even the most complex subject (no more getting lost halfway through!)...
✅ Why Georgia always starts with the sky and works forward — and how this simple sequence prevents the number one mistake that makes seascapes look flat and unconvincing…
✅ The museum-trained artist’s secret to mixing “a variety of greens” that actually look natural (hint: it’s not what your color wheel suggests)...
✅ How to paint simple but convincing clouds that enhance your seascape without stealing focus — Georgia’s quick technique that took her years to perfect, yours in minutes…
✅ The “cooler colors for background” principle that makes distant mountains recede into space — creating depth that makes viewers feel they could walk right into your painting…
✅ Georgia’s counterintuitive approach to rocky cliffs: why painting them as “connected ledges” creates more realistic movement to your design than carefully copying every crack and crevice…
✅ The professional artist’s method for mixing colors of the sea: why painting with a “thinner mix” creates transparency that captures the ocean’s translucent quality…
✅ Why Georgia turns her canvas sideways when painting the sea...
✅ The “color shaper” technique for adjusting paint, lifting color, and adding texture — how this simple tool solves problems that would normally require starting over…
✅ How to mix color as value — key to simplifying any subject!
✅ The credit card seafoam technique that creates in seconds what would take hours to paint traditionally — Georgia’s favorite “happy accident” tool…
✅ The “rigger brush calligraphy” Georgia uses for final linework — how these finishing strokes pull your entire painting together and create unity across the scene…
✅ Georgia’s rule about acrylic paint drying “two tones darker than you think” — and how to mix colors that look right when dry, not just when wet…
✅ The exact order for painting seascape elements that prevents muddy colors and maintains clarity...
✅ How to “remove and rework distant rocks” by lightly lifting paint — creating atmospheric layers that suggest depth without detail…
✅ Why Georgia’s students say her approach helps them “paint from the heart” instead of their heads — and the specific mindset shift that makes this possible…
✅ The “mix and mingle color on the surface” technique that creates natural color variations in water (stop pre-mixing everything on your palette!)...
✅ PLUS:How to know when to “calm things down or bring more attention” in your finishing touches — Georgia’s quick assessment method that prevents overworking…
…and so much more!
