Painting surf is one of the most difficult subjects I attempt. Because it's constantly moving, observation is key. One look is at the shadows in the falling wave. Another is at the breaking spume. The colors and values in the curl are worth studying. Finally watching what the surf does on its run up to the shore will help in the composition. The majority of my surf paintings end up in the trashcan, but these are a few of the more successful ones.
