In my time using photoshop, I've created a heap of things that are nice, and sometimes spellbinding, Atleast to my view. I created a seascape using photoshop 7.0, I did this back in may, and to be quite honest, I'm not really all that satisfied with it. I would like to make another one, But i can't find any tutorials
to help me. so i was wondering if anyone here knows of any.

Here's the work i've done.
 
What a great Idea! I off to start painting. Care to post a little about the techniques you used?
 
Those steps can be your guide to recreate in Photoshop, the way you would see it.

Steps
1
Look at the ocean images and
describe what you see. Are there
any patterns?
2
On the paper, draw wavy lines
across the page.
3
Repeat this process until you have
wavy lines in layers all the way to the
bottom of the page.
4
Using the darkest blue paint, paint
the bottom layer of your wave
picture.
5
Mix slightly lighter blue by adding
white or yellow to the blue paint in
the pallet.
6
Paint the next layer up on your
picture with the new lighter shade of
blue.
7
Continue painting the layers using
progressively lighter shades of blue
until you get to the last layer and the
paper is full of paint.

Painter Byron Pickering has a tutorial at Wetcanvas:

and you can view his work at http://www.pickeringstudio.com/

Hope this helps. ;)
 
Excellent advices, Lily, especially #1. Observation is often underrated, but it is a key parameter in the success of a piece.

I fully agree sPECtre! ;)
 
I recently did an underwater scene via a tutorial.. now I can't seem to find the tut.. would you be interested in it if I can find it?
 
Right sPECtre, but it's not that one either.. this one had a section devoted just to the land part... it was pretty cool, very much like Berts or the one I posted but then it went further on into the bottom area of the sea... oh well.
