Course Description

This is a comprehensive step-by-step demonstration where I'll teach you exactly how to paint my latest painting "Dark and Stormy".

You'll get a full insight from start to finish and you'll learn exactly how to paint it. I'll show you everything: Mixing paint, colours and application, mindset and all the techniques.

I explain the whole strategy and take you through each step to create a moody and dark big wave painting.

All of the the files I use are included as downloads as well as workflow order list, draft sketch and step by step PDF's.

I've been a professional artist for the past 20 years with a focus on painting the ocean and its surrounds.

Long-term success in this industry doesn't happen with a bit talent and luck... 

The ability to produce high quality, attractive paintings time after time is essential and that's what's what I teach.

Learn the strategy, techniques and mindset as I walk you through to master the art of seascape painting.

Totally Amazing Course "Paint the Ocean"
by Steve Myers

Hi Scott The course you have developed is totally amazing. I have just started painting at 50 years of age and I have always had an affinity, respect and love of the ocean since I started surfing on the Gold Coast, Australia at the age of four. Just by chance I saw some of your artwork from a google search of waves and was instantly memorised by your work. The detail, colours, and depth of your art and the physical mechanisms of wave action that you capture are remarkable. The course is very well structured, easy to follow and very informative without being too technical. The amount of effort and thought that went into producing this course is nothing short of astounding. Thanks for a fantastic course that demystifies the art of “painting the ocean” and I hope that I too will create these masterpieces one day Steve ★★★★★

Amazing talent! Brilliant content, and an honest and very easy to follow teacher. 
Highly Recommend this course and the artwork of Scott Christensen

by Victoria Carter


I have found the approach and friendliness helpful. The content is clear and concise. Scott Christensen is a master and I am amazed how much he is sharing from technique to colour blends. I like the option to read and watch. The website and modules are simple and extremely easy to use. The price is awesome and when contacting Scott his replies are almost immediate. I feel supported and inspired. I am less than half way through this course and already feel like my skills have improved along with my confidence. I am seeing the results in the new techniques following the videos. I think the only thing to beat this course is a face to face opportunity to paint alongside Scott. I want my name down first! I have terminal cancer and this course has brightened my days and advanced my abilities already. I am so excited to complete this course to enjoy the benefits of hopefully adding my new skills to my existing style and earning an income. I appreciate the transparency of discussing marketing and expanding your business and offering hints and tips from someone who has been there and done that. I thank you Scott for this amazing course and would recommend to any skill level artist who may like to add a few new tricks to their artwork. ★★★★★


Best Painting Course Ever!

by Eileen Moroney


I am still a learner painter, I have done a few courses, but never has one stayed in my head. There are no boring parts that make you want to skip forward, because every lesson teaches you something new and very important to the whole process. For two years I lost all confidence in myself ever painting something worth looking at. Now thanks to you; As soon as I finish all my work for the day, I go into my painting room and just enjoy it. Thankyou Scott Christensen for showing me how to enjoy painting again. ★★★★★
