#YOU CALL ME OUT INTO THE WAVES FULL#

Some general rules to follow in creating a composition are as follows:

Darks are not quite dark and lights are not quite light. In general paintings where there is a sharp contrast between dark and light values will invoke a dramatic and agitated feeling in the viewer, whereas a softer graduation in tonal values will produce a more restful feeling.Ī quick rule to remember with tonality is that as you come forward in a painting darks get darker and lights get lighter, however distant objects will have a much smaller graduation between tone as the scale is much narrower. This contrast between light and dark values falls into the subject of tonality which is the relationship between lights and darks in a painting.

This is because you have a sharp contrast between the face of the breaking wave that is in shadow and then the crest that is in full sunlight. Whilst you can paint the sea from any angle, in general I have found seascapes easier to paint when the light is coming from the sides or behind the water. The ocean has a heavy swell and wild breaking waves which are also backlit by the sun. I pray expectantly for Him to do the impossible and will answer His call, no matter where it may lead.We have some great elements in these photos to create an atmospheric seascape painting. Continuing to pray, seek and worship Him is the only prescription for the affliction of fear. Despite receiving many blessings and provisions from God, I still have fear and doubt. Even though he’d seen the miracles and majesty of Jesus firsthand, he was still afraid to step out in faith. Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.Īnd those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. Do not be afraid.”Īnd Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” Then they spotted Jesus walking towards them on the waves and thought He was a ghost.īut immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take heart it is I. The disciples were alone in the boat in the midst of fierce winds and waves and they were terrified. SCRIPTURE: The scripture connected to Oceans is the account of Peter stepping out of a boat onto a storm-tossed sea in Matthew 14. Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander.Īs you listen to this song, be inspired and encouraged to boldly trust Him to take you beyond what you ever imagined possible. Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders. Our action of faith in the midst of uncertainty not only allows God to demonstrate His power and faithfulness, but it increases our faith when we begin to see Him working. Sometimes it might not appear as such and we may begin to sink into doubt, but if we fix our eyes on Jesus, we rise. Oceans refers to the action of stepping out in faith, despite feeling fear and uncertainty. The first time I heard this song, I fell in love with it because of the universal truth it shares. SONG: This week’s song is Oceans by Hillsong United.
