Hello, my name is Troy McFarland, and I’m here to help you bring the beauty and energy of the ocean to life on canvas. Originally from San Diego, CA, I spent my childhood immersed in the coastal landscape, developing a deep appreciation for the sea’s ever-changing moods and colors. My passion for art emerged early—I won numerous art contests as a young artist, and my work was often used as a benchmark for my classmates. Even then, I knew I had a special gift, but talent alone wasn't enough—I wanted to refine my skills and truly master my craft.

My artistic journey led me to the prestigious Laguna College of Art and Design, where I studied under industry experts and fine art masters. While my formal education provided a strong foundation, I soon realized that true mastery of seascape painting required more than traditional techniques. Through years of hands-on experience, countless hours of trial and error, and an unwavering commitment to my craft, I developed my own unique methods—techniques that even the best art schools don’t always teach. Now, I want to share these hard-earned insights with you.

Whether you're a beginner looking to make your first brushstroke or an experienced artist aiming to refine your technique, I’ve developed a system that makes painting seascapes approachable, exciting, and rewarding. My step-by-step approach simplifies the complexities of light, movement, and texture, helping you elevate your work faster than you ever thought possible.

Join me on this journey, and let’s transform the way you see—and paint—the ocean.
