In today’s acrylic painting tutorial we paint lightning in a cloudy sky reflecting down onto the ocean water. This moody seascape painting lesson is done in real time and will cover the step by step process of how to paint the glow and light generated by lightning as well as the lightning itself. We also paint water washing up on the beach and a subtle manner which is also quite fun. You can find the colors I used for this palette listed below in the description.
