Seascape (Or Landscape) A seascape is a photograph, painting, or other work of art which depicts the sea, in other words an example of marine art. The word originated as a formation from landscape, which was first used of images of land in art. By a similar development, "seascape" has also come to mean actual views of the sea itself, and to be applied in planning contexts to geographical locations possessing a good view of the sea. Here is an example of an expressive Seascape folio from WHEC titled “Longing” Please Note:

• Composition viewpoints; how much of the painting is divided up by foreground (e.g. land) /mid-ground (e.g. sea) /background (e.g. sky).

• Media handling/techniques; the variety of different media application experimentation achieving fine details to expressive impasto finish (e.g. fine brush/ wide brush/ pallet knife/ sponge/ finger.
