Seascape Painting

The romance of sea is the salty drops flying from the waves, the comforting gentle sound of waves, the moonlight and the Scarlet Sails of Assol. The sea has always been the inspiration source for poets and painters. Did you ever want to take a sea voyage to a far away land? Probably there is no such man that wouldn’t want it. Even if you are sea-sick, you will not refuse from an evening walk along a beautiful sea coast.

The history of painting knows a lot of artists who admired sea and painted it. And it is natural as the sea can be endlessly different, it constantly changes its shape, colours, character. Calm and warm, with sunbeams playing on its surface – it is the sea of summer, somewhere at a resort. The waves are slowly caressing the coast and their edges are white with foam. It is the sea that brings you joy and a feeling of holiday. Among the seascape paintings you can find a plot for any mood of yours: happy, sad, romantic, calm, or enthusiastic. The sea can be angry and grey and it is in line with your mood when you are sad but at the same time it encourages you to overcome all difficulties and be strong.

Many pictures with the sea have also a ship or a boat on them. And you can endlessly look at it with a thousand of various thoughts: who is coming to you in this boat or ship, what good news it is bringing to you, or maybe you would imagine how you go far away in this ship to meet new people and discover new lands.

The fantasy of the marine painters can offer you a million plots of the seascape paintings. They say that fire and water can be admired endlessly. And that is really so. It is because both of them never stay the same. The sea can change its face several times during just one day when you are watching it. You can remember your last sea holidays and be convinced that it is true. The sea can be calm, transparent and cold in the morning, then a little wavy in the afternoon, and even a real storm may begin at sunset. All these varieties of the sea character can be found on seascape paintings.

Sea is very beautiful at night, too. The moon way leading you to the skyline, the strange shadows of the waves... Night seascape paintings are pure magic.
